Adam talks with Kathy Burke (film and TV actor and theatre director/writer) about various moments in her career thusfar. Her erratic social networking behaviour is also discussed. STRONGEST OF LANGUAGE USED!

EP.15 - KATHY BURKE

Adam talks to British stand up comedian Romesh Ranganathan about life in Los Angeles, race and diversity in comedy (funnier than that sounds) dealing with negative criticism (a favourite topic!) and the delicate business of exploiting your family for entertainment purposes. There’s also some freestyle rapping that should provoke some considerable insecurity for the so called giants of the hip hop community.

EP.61 - ROMESH RANGANATHAN

Adam talks with British comedian Bob Mortimer.

Hi. Adam Buxton here with some notes about Bob and this episode.

For nearly 30 years Bob and his comedy partner Jim Moir (aka Vic Reeves) have stuck doggedly to what makes them laugh whether mainstream audiences get it or not, with shows like ‘The Smell Of Reeves & Mortimer’, ‘Bang Bang It’s Reeves & Mortimer’, ‘Catterick’, and ‘House Of Fools’ as well as the occasional reboots of the massively popular panel show ‘Shooting Stars’ and the show that introduced them to the world in 1990, ‘Big Night Out’. 

Consistently and inexhaustibly joyful, energetic and absurd, their parade of characters, silly voices, home made props and a sensibility that is often close to avant garde performance art, has made them two of the best loved and most influential comedians the UK has ever produced. 

When not working with Jim, Bob enjoys watching football. He’s an avid supporter of Middlesbrough FC and is currently the co host along with comedy writer Andy Dawson of the vaguely football themed podcast, ‘Athletico Mince’. It’s up with the funniest stuff Bob’s ever done.

My conversation with Bob, took place in the London office of his agent and for a while we had to battle with some quite loud talkers in the corridor outside doing agent business (I was too weedy to ask them to be quiet), but that calmed down after a little while and we rambled about getting older, the TV shows that Bob enjoys, his new fishing show with old friend and fellow comedian Paul Whitehouse, music, petty crime and now and then we looked back over a few Vic & Bob moments from the last 30 years. 

It was a fun conversation that often revealed a softer and more gentle side to Bob than people might expect. It’s a good bet that he would feel quite deeply nauseated by that last sentence and perhaps a few before too.

PODCAST EP.92 - JAMES ACASTER

Adam enjoys a suitably rambly conversation with his school friends, Joe Cornish and Louis Theroux that takes in Louis' appearance on Desert Island Discs, school reports, the most recent remake of A Star Is Born (SPOILER ALERT: key plot details are revealed) and a tape of Adam, Joe and Louis aged 19 doing David Bowie impressions, before we hear a new Song Wars style Bowie song from Joe, created specially for the 100th episode.

CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE!

EP.100 - JOE CORNISH & LOUIS THEROUX

I remixed/remangled/reimagined a previous ice-originated piece, one that had already been through numerous incarnations, all based on my original ice recording in 2013 (I think).

Interestingly, you can still hear moments of tinkling iciness buried in the noise…


----------------------------------------------

The Assignment: Record the sound of ice in a glass and make something with it.

Welcome to a new year of Disquiet Junto communal music projects. This week’s project is as follows. It’s the same project we’ve begun each year with since the very first Junto project, way back in January 2012. The project is, per tradition, just this one step:

Step 1: Please record the sound of an ice cube rattling in a glass, and make something of it.

Glacial phases [disquiet0471]

Participation in the "Disquiet Junto" project led by Marc Weidenbaum: Phase Transition.
The Assignment: Record the sound of ice in a glass and make something with it.

Ice cubes fall into a glass.
Recorded with a Tascam DR-100MKII + built-in mics Uni.
The Tascam is placed vertically on the glass, in contact.
A Pure data patch lets you hear the recording transposed to 3 voices  and brings out their harmonic components by spreading out them over time.
At the beginning we hear the untransposed sound.
This is the same Pure data patch as for:

Des glaçons tombent dans un verre.

Le Tascam est posé verticalement sur le verre, en contact.
Un patch Pure data fait entendre l'enregistrement transposé sur 3 voix et fait apparaitre ses composantes harmoniques en les déployant dans le temps.
On entends au début le son non transposé.
C'est le même patch que pour:

Grey View (disquiet0476)

British comedian Adam Buxton talks with interesting people. The rambly conversations are sometimes funny, sometimes more serious with funny bits. Adam records the intros and outros for most episodes while walking with his dog friend Rosie in the East Anglian countryside where he lives with his wife and three children. 

Adam has appeared in films such as ‘Hot Fuzz’, ‘Stardust’ and ‘Son Of Rambow’ as well as a variety of TV shows in the UK. Since 2007 he has hosted ‘BUG’, a live show that combines music videos and comedy that became a TV series on Sky Atlantic in 2012. From time to time he also does live shows featuring just his own material. Along with lifelong friend Joe Cornish he also is one half of award winning TV, radio and podcast duo Adam & Joe who have worked together since 1995. 

You can find many of the insanely catchy jingles Adam makes for the podcast as well as amazing bonus material, beautiful merchandise and a selection of his incredibly funny and brilliant YouTube videos on the free Adam Buxton app.

Adam is writing this himself using the third person.
