tuesday the 9th of March 2010

Amy was on holiday so Mark and Jamie did the music, one song each, and it was excellent.  The reign of the Amy is over.  Over!

In between Tasmin Archer’s Sleeping Satellite and Survivor’s Eye of the Tiger, and news, sport, and weather, we had our amazing cheaptickets.nl competition question, which Jamie was disappointed not be able to answer.

In this day in history we see the connection between Charles Bukowski and the Notorious BIG and we ask the question, answers below kids, is, in fact, this day in history the worst feature ever to grace the airwaves?

In Bizarre news we find out how Yorkshire Puddings are to be patented and how the Korean’s selection policy for civil servants.  And Mark, quite out of the blue (nose Sunday) admits to stalking a musician and holding her umbrella hostage.  Amy reveals her most intimate desires…  Top music and Coleman’s dating tips - Tuesday still has got it all going on.

Thirsty Thursday Showlights

25-02-10

Today was full of action almost to the point of bursting on the Thirsty Thursday edition of The English Breakfast.  In the first half of the show, the crew from Inplayers gave us a sample of their production Deaf on the Nile followed by Charin’s movie of the week- Army of Darkness

In the second half of the show we were joined by Carla Regina and the legendary street artist Laser 3.14

For those who haven’t seen his work on the street (in which case you must be clinically blind), you can check out Laser’s exhibitions at Radar and Artkitchen.  Leslie managed to show that in the lyrical world, she is still the title-holder with her dose of poetry

Watch to the show again:

Thirsty Thursday Showlights

18-02-10

A great show today in which oh so many wonders of the world were discussed from poetry to pottery.  In the first half of the show Charin told us about how he is looking forward to attending the Wild Food Festival in New Zealand where they consume such delicacies as bull semen…

We got a very potent dose of poetry which narrowly surpassed the lyrical genius of Flight of the Concords with their song Hurt Feelings.

In the second half of the show we were joined by Elias Mohd who told us about his full spectrum of artistic talents including his passion for ceramics which we saw an amazing example of in the studio - check it out.  Take a look at the agenda on Elias’ website to see how and when you can see some of his amazing works of art in person.

For those who are still scratching their head trying to figure out what our themesong of the day was, here it is

tuesday the 16th of February 2010

17-02-10

Today we jumped back to 1990 with Shortman’s selection of Love Shack, but only after we were propelled - dancing and swing - to 1997 for the Blue Boy’s haunting Remember Me.  The music bounced between Mark’s adventures at the Tax Office and Amy’s Bizarre news, where we learned about  a man with two left feet and culminated a police officer who was saved by his badge.  We saw the inaugural Dobson dream interpretation, where we tried to analyse why a woman would dream of having a hat made of a croissant. (This is hilarious…. Listen to this about 20 minutes into the second half of the show)

With a banging what’s on guide, plenty of banter, and why rugby players like wrecking golf carts (and trying to kill people with butter knifes), the Tuesday show have still - in the face of ice, highs of two degrees, and dark mornings - got it all going on.
