What is the true identity of the supposed Premier League footballer turned masked, mystery rapper Dide?

Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah? No chance. Unless we’re mistaken, at no point does anyone say current Premier League footballer. We’re old school – our money’s on Sir Les Ferdinand.

It has been a long time since we plundered Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! for The Joint’s commercial breaks, so repurposing the “definitely not fake ads for fake products” from Office Hours Live on Tim Heidecker’s YouTube channel seems way overdue.

Let’s go full YouTube wormhole and recommend Are Sounds Electrik, especially when they cut up old film footage to create their own promo videos.

A recent favourite of ours is a 1982 single from Ignatius Jones (in today’s playlist) synced with footage from the 1944 film Don’t Take It To Heart .

Only 38 years passed between the release of the movie and the song but it’s now been more than 40 years since the song came out.

Make of that what you will.

In terms of incongruousness, this is up there with the footage of PiL on America Bandstand we mentioned a few months ago. Same year, 1980, but this time it’s Yellow Magic Orchestra wowing Soul Train’s audience.

It’s just sad it took the untimely passing of Ryuichi Sakamoto to bring it to our attention.

Never ceases to amaze us that, 20 years after the fact, media pundits who enthusiastically advocated for the Iraq war are still much sought after for their opinions by the likes of CNN, MSNBC, NYT, FOX ETC.

Thomas Friedman is a case in point.

I wouldn’t necessarily say that this:

disqualifies you from any future public discourse but how about, at the very least, a mea fucking culpa.

For a little bit more detail try RNZ’s Midweek Mediawatch at the 25s mark and the whole of this episode of NPR’s On The Media (but particularly from 11m 10s).

Or, more accurately, in the words of a French composer speaking to a young Burt Bacharach “never ever feel embarrassed or discomforted by a melody that people can remember or whistle”

Of all the in memoriams we read, this one on Twitter made us smile the most (“His eyes did.”)

Good night Burt Bacharach. I sat next to him once, after our debut on Jools Holland. We’d just performed jobseeker. The set assistant ushered me into an empty chair at the table where this old bloke was sat with a pint. I said “do you mind?” He just nodded.

There have been too many obituaries over this last month to do justice to all those who have passed but we’ll make an exception for Edson Arantes Do Nascimento. Here’s a short celebration of the 1970 world cup winning Brazilian team with Pelé taking centre stage. Directed by Douglas Hart, featuring the music of Primal Scream and first broadcast on BBC 2 back in 1994.

–

Today’s playlist is inspired by Dilla Time by Dan Charnas, the one book we managed to finish reading this year.

Not just a biography it’s also a history of rhythm, an explanation of what made James DeWitt Yancey unique and an exploration of his legacy.

Not a Christmas themed show.

Not a round-up of the year.

Just some tunes, lying at the bottom of our Santa sack, that we meant to squeeze into a show this year but never quite got around to it. Until now.

It makes for some unlikely bedfellows. Not sure that Bob Lind should be rubbing up against Bog-shed or that Dollar should be sitting side-by-side with Orielles’ remixes but that’s where we find ourselves at the end of 2022.

Starting the show off at a blistering pace with a track from the new Blair Parkes album “over board”, available right now on bandcamp.

You can still listen to the recent Karyn Hay interview with Blair over at the RNZ website, wherein he talks about his favourite local tunes and the seemingly arbitrary, fluid nature of the names of Christchurch suburbs, long a bugbear at The Joint mansions.

Say, say, say, say summat to me

On an unrelated note, we can’t help imagining that Caroline Polachek is attempting a broad Yorkshire accent during at least part of her latest song.

And on with the show…

First up, let us acknowledge that the misheard lyric meme is tired, dated and had burnt itself out way before memes even existed.

Having said that, we did have cause to stop and stare in wonder at our speakers the other week when we listened to the opening verse of The Weeknd’s “Less Than Zero”. The accompanying lyric video confirmed that we had misunderstood the words and that the couplet in question wasn’t actually hippo & Zippo but hero & symbol.

Far be it from us to advise Mr. Tesfaye on song writing, but we just can’t help but feel that our take is slightly better. After all, it does actually rhyme. Plus, no matter what anybody tells us, we still hear a song about semiaquatic mammals and lighters.

In the absence of any spare time during the holiday season to listen to our usual quota of new tunes, we’ve had to re-examine the songs that didn’t make the playlist cut first time around.

Good job too. How could we have originally overlooked Eris Drew’s attempt to cram 30+ years of classic dance music loops, beats, breaks and samples into one album? Or the post-punk crunch of M(h)aol? Or Lucy Duncombe’s soaring, sweeping voice? Or… or… or…
