I've been making mash-ups on and off since May 2003 - if anyone's to blame for all this then it's Soundhog and Go Home Production - part of the old guard from Get Your Bootleg On (GYBO). I did this stuff for fun - no, really! It's all about the challenge of adding vocal a to instrumental b or any combination and coming up with something interesting and new. Some of the stuff in this set has been broadcast on commercial Radio - most notably "New York at Last" which created a bit of a frenzy with Queen fans who inundated Brian May with request for release. And it came very, very close I can tell you...My mashup home on the web has been down a while but maybe one day it will be resurrected! www.mash-ups.co.uk

Coolio vs. Chic - 1, 2, 3, 4 (Good Times) (Rhythm Scholar Disco Funkin' Remix)

An idea I had that reminded me of busy things that we do that lasts our lives....some that aren't always pleasant but contribute to our well being. All things for the good.  Wanted a simple steady beat like Steeley Dan on this track. I wrote this for my son who has always encouraged me to keep at my music career.

Last a lifetime

A tempting trio, manifesting creative energy through beat, bass, flute, loop and poetry

Runaway - The House of Dialogue

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.

BLOG
Adam talks with British writer, producer and presenter Charlie Brooker.
THIS EPISODE CONTAINS LANGUAGE AND THEMES THAT HAVE OFFENDED IN THE PAST AND MAY OFFEND AGAIN.
There was a problem with one of the mics on this episode hence roomy sound from back up recording. Apologies for any emotional distress caused.

Hello. Adam here with a few notes and links related to this episode for you.
My rambly conversation with Charlie was recorded in March of this year 2018, in the west London house where he lives with his wife Connie and their two young children. 
Charlie started his media career writing about video games in the 90s and we began by reminiscing about our childhood fascination with those blocky virtual worlds.
We also talked about Nathan Barley (Channel 4, 2005), Black Mirror (Channel 4, Netflix, 2011 - present), how comedic fury can be taken at face value, smoking, defecating, and how we would cope if we were on reality TV or facing armageddon and didn’t have Bear Grylls to advise us. Charlie also does an impression of comedian Jimmy Carr’s laugh which will improve your life.
