Sat, 13 March 2010 ![]() Friday! March! The twelfth! Twenty-ten! 7pm Eastern! Midnight GMT! Whatever time that would be in New Zealand! Yes folks, that was the time that the first ever live edition of The Paul And Spike Show was broadcast across 88.5 World FM and Radio Six International, kicking off their celebration of ten years streaming online. And here is that broadcast, warts and all. (newscasts not included)
* musical construction/ innovation
* lyrical genius [the brilliant banality of The Day Before You Came by Abba, for example...]
* 'game-changers' [Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood versus censorship by Radio1, I'm looking at you...]
* personal reasons [the song that captured the moment of your first kiss, for example...]
* that kind of thing... ------- Remember - you can always keep in touch with The Boys by emailing theusualaddress@gmail.com, by catching them on twitter [@spikester @higginbothamp] on Facebook, and by joining the Google Wave at wave.paulandspike.com ----- Ten years streaming, eh? Amazing!

Fri, 5 March 2010 0:00:00 - Paul is still sounding like he's talking into a yogurt pot on a 1940s radio broadcast, recorded on a wax cylinder that has been stored in a jar of warm purple jam. That's been kept in direct sunlight. We got complaints last week, can you tell? Thank Skype for that, it loves to drop the quality of a call when it thinks bandwidth needs to be preserved. The show operates off of $20 bandwidth, what could possibly go wrong? Plus, The Boys update you on next week's live show. Comments[0] |
Fri, 26 February 2010 ![]() 0:00:00 - Not only is there talk of lawyers, cheap tequila, taxes and FM morning radio, the show gets legitimised by talk of politics and Tiger Woods. Comments[0] |
Fri, 19 February 2010 ![]() 0:00:00 - Love and beer are in the air chez Nez, but only puke is in the air at Paul's. And on the floor. Plus, there's something ghastly in the colander. Stomach flu reigns supreme at Higginbotham Towers this week, and also at Spike's sister's. Interestingly, a previous episode of The Paul And Spike Show was the trigger.... Comments[0] |
Fri, 12 February 2010 ![]() This week, The Film Geek stops by to say hello, talk about movies and confess how he ditched his wife at some event or other. Charming! Plenty of movies reviewed/commented on, plus the commentariat share their most embarrassing additions to their DVD collections. 0:00:00 Please read this description carefully, as our nouns have changed. Paul has discovered the antidepressant qualities contained in DJ Hero. Mrs Higginbotham... not so much. Wikki wikki wikki wikki! 0:03:44 Rubix cube in hand and wife away, The Boys are joined by blogger The Film Geek for the duration of the show. Plans are hatched for what may be the single greatest retro drink in history. Well, the history of the 1980s at least... 0:11:54 As a time-sensitive legal obligation: "so.. how 'bout that Superbowl? Eh, lads?" Plus, Simon Cowell's hideously poor-taste choice for a Haiti charity single is out-poor-tasted by Paul's. 0:21:06 Iiiiiiit's Pickin' And Grinnin', the only news and current affairs segment to include banjos. (Outside of Tennessee, obviously.) 0:23:42 The Boys and The Film Geek share their Weeks In Stuff, the review/preview segment that helps you make better media choices, either by embracing or rejecting their picks. TFG's been filling up (y'see what I did there?) with "The Tooth Fairy", "Inglorious Bastards" and "The Hurt Locker", and has a million kind words to say about Stanley Tucci's performance in "The Lovely Bones". 0:42:33 Two more Ebert movies crossed off the list for Paul; Spain's upper crust (and possibly a curly-headed bloke called "Médico Que") are destroyed in "The Exterminating Angel" (¡EXTERMINATO! ¡EXTERMINATO!), and "Pickpocket". Also, let down the Bat-Ladder and hand him the shark repellant Bat-spray! On the nightstand, a cheery little tome called "The Road". Aahhh, that'll set you up for the day! 0:55:30 The documentary that Spike can't remember is "The Virtual Revolution", hosted by Dr Aleks Krotoski, otherwise known as "Mrs The Director". Oh, and Pardon Me... have you seen the new NumaNuma-tastic viral video yet? And all the replies? It all comes from Robert Popper's blog. 1:08:04 TFG finally explains how and why he abandoned his wife... 1:09:12 This week's question for The Boys and the commentariat is, naturally, movie themed.

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE SHOW SUBSCRIBE TO THE SHOW WITH ITUNES/GOOGLE READER/ZUNE GET THE LATEST EPISODE AND A FULL ARCHIVE AT WWW.PAULANDSPIKE.COM ------- Sharing is caring! Download the whole show with Bit Torrent, via The Pirate Bay. ------- 00:00 Ah, yes. What better way to start the show than with a few laughs, chuckles and good times, as our heroes discuss why their weeks have been "craptastic" and compare horrific mouth noises. 05:31 Catchup time, with some Over/Under stragglers from last week, discussing their choices for the most over-rated and most under-rated TV shows of the 90s, plus some Facebook love and an email from Spike's Mum. 27:55 Pickin' And Grinnin' - the segment of the show where the week in news is examined under a moonshine microscope. (Apple iPad jokes not included) 30:20 This Week In Stuff, where The Boys help you to make better media decisions by sharing, for better or worse, the Stuff they've been inta. Paul's Ebert list grows ever shorter as he crosses off two more movies; Fritz Lang's "M" and puns abound with "My Darling Clementine". Also, which award-winning guitarist has trouble keeping up with the masters and has been playing the wrong chord on the verse? Paul has the scoop, thanks to rockumentary "It Might Get Loud". Another odd week for Spike with a 'pew pew pew'-filled half hour of the first episode of "Firefly", via a very cool piece of software called Boxee (one X, and no 'babee' at the end), via the miracle of social networking. He was convinced by Terry Pratchett's lecture on assisted death (delivered by a 'stunt Pratchett'), watched more "Torchwood" and "The Rules Of Film Noir". 59:24 Over/Under, where we discuss the things that are over-rated and the things that are under-rated about a particular topic. This week, movie soundtracks. Whether it's the orchestral score or a 'songs from the movie' album, The Boys and the commentariat have some interesting thoughts, including "Titanic", "Nick and Nora's Infinite Soundtrack", "Tron", and two appearances from Paul Williams!

Fri, 29 January 2010 ![]() This week, our heroes are joined by (some of) the cast of popbunker.net, the internets' most pop culturally aware source for news, reviews and previews, commentary, trailers and oddities. Coop (twitter | website), Joey (twitter | website), Caveman (twitter | website) and Heather (twitter | website) drop by to discuss the cult of PopBunker, their week in stuff, and their picks for Over/Under. Why does the opening jingle play twice? um.... don't know, sir. 0:00:00 It sounds like some potential bad news, as Spike sorts out his feelings for Paul. Paul, however, is more concerned about the lack of people using the Paul And Spike Show Google Wave experiment. 0:16:24 Yes! It's back! The week's current affairs, as seen through an oxycontin haze - Pickin' And Grinnin'! 0:18:40 Episode one of "A Very Special PopBunker". Not really. The gang are in, and what a Week In Stuff they've had!
0:51:50 The first Over/Under of the new year is a real head-scratcher. The concave-chested hipsters, the cast of PopBunker and the commentariat discuss their choices for most over-rated and most under-rated TV shows of the 1990s. Some surprising choices for Overs and some long-lost Unders. Thoughts? Agreements? Disagreements? The discussion doesn't have to stop at the copyright notice.

Veteran anchor Smack Torquelson and the "Newsmakers" team take a very special look past the latest news from the Haiti disaster. 0:08:00 Aaaaaaand they're back. A snatch of Radio Six International's top new jingle package, a story that's not fit for broadcast, reference to a turn of the century French artist, and our heroes discuss the last time they played in the snow, what makes New Year rubbish, and what they did on their Christmas vacation. Flyyyyy! *honk* Flyyyyyyy! *honk* Flyyyyyyyyyyy! *honk* 0:29:00 For This Festive Season In Stuff, Paul gets tripped up by a ten-hour entry in Ebert's movie list.

Other highlights include Band Of Brothers, the UK version of Life On Mars, Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs, a four year old who swears whilst playing "Candyland", Torchwood, what it takes to tax Paul's broadband connection, how old age has spurned televisual prudery, and why the Nintendo DSi has been so damned disappointing. 1:07:35 In addition to revealing the brand-spanking new way to get involved with the show (and if you need help, shoot us off an email... you know what we're talking about) The Boys take some emails/tweets/facebookage and Wav... uh...

The Paul And Spike Show: January 22nd, 2010.
In this scaled down, not-a-season-two-premiere show, the boys are hit with abandonment, scheduling conflicts, technical difficulties and basic ineptitude. Bodes well for the rest of the year, don't it?
