Remember, Shackfans, he will be on Gobstopper tomorrow LIVE from New York! Featuring an interview with the official New York Correspondent....me!

Hope you were all listening....

Fucksticks! I thought it was about six-ish. Damn body clock. I will listen on the replay.

'laura', who has just been speaking to john on 6music, was in two of my classes last week. she seemed like a very nice young lady...

Has anyone else been enjoying The Museum Of Everything and The Very World Of Milton Jones on BBC7 on friday nights? They make me chuckle in my sleep.

Listening to Radio Two's The Record Producers. Tday focussing on Swain & Jolley. Imagination still sound quite phenomenal and I now have a new found respect for Spandau Ballet's True. I'll get over it.

On tonight's Gobstopper extravaganza:

We’re joined live by one of the UK’s top cult comedy actors. He’s bringing his musical show to Stockton next week… from The Mighty Boosh, it’s MATT BERRY!

As Cleveland CAMRA prepare to announce their Pub Of The Year, we’re joined in the studio by one of their leading lights – the lovely DENISE POWELL!

We catch up with a critically acclaimed indie band bringing their acoustic show to Middlesbrough next week – they’re the brilliant I AM KLOOT!

Plus we look forward to Middlesbrough’s final match of the season, an occasion being branded as a “retro day” – with fans encouraged to dress up in their ageing kits from yesteryear! We speak to the men whose idea it was, from supporters group The Twelfth Man, it’s GEOFF THOMAS and JOHN DONOVAN!

Check my signature for listening details, and if you'd like to submit a tale about old computers you used to use (last weeks hot topic is being rolled over), please send it to:

gobstopper@bbc.co.uk

Cheers.

THIS IS GOOD.

Will he be on before 7:30? I won't be back from yoga before then, see.

I reckon he'll be on first, so possibly at about half 7 once we've blathered on about my holiday and read out a few e-mails.

I would ask Fischer to confirm it, but I'm very lazy.

What computer was the Supergran game on? That was awesome.

I'll have to listen to it tomorrow, but this is a great lineup.

Are you going to I am Kloot gig?

It was a fun show last night, although Matt Berry was somewhere between nervous and quietly coy. Very odd. We did get an unexpected call from the managing director of Chips (Teesside based computer store NOT TV themed around cops on motorbikes) which was good. I'm also waiting for confirmation that we can do an outside broadcast from a pub.

I think I'm probably going to miss I Am Kloot because the next day is my housewarming and I will need all my reserves of money and/or sleep.

Fischer is being drafted in for extra shows this week, so if anyone can listen live between 1pm and 4pm today or tomorrow and offer him electronic message support, he'd appreciate it.

Hee hee - Bob's doing a show now!!

He's gone all primetime.

"This is Cher...."

Linky poo

Ah, too bad. The housewarming will be a good time though.

It's always a little jarring the way Gobstopper ends so abruptly when you Listen Again. Good show, by the way.

Listening now...

Shackers, please tell me someone gave you the correct non-ice-based hockey terminology for North America before the show is over.


*bites her tongue*

Sadly not. I blame Julie - she should have told me during our first night in "Tronno" when I impressed her with my hockey knowledge and by the fact I called it hockey.

It's field hockey isn't it? (I googled)

Hai!

I like "grass hockey", though. Sounds like a fun sort of athletic weed-based activity...

I did. You just never listen to a word I say.

I'm just listening again now, this is priceless, Shack! It's either field or ball hockey, depending on the rules and the terrain... and the sticks. We discussed that just before you mentioned how our sports commentators were talking directly to you.

The conversation is coming back to me now. I was talking about EPSN presenters yesterday with Miniature G. He agreed that he thought is was bizarre.

I listen to EVERYTHING you say. I'm just forgetful.

This Wednesday, a momentous event will be occurring:

The last ever, ever, ever edition of How To Recycle A Goat!

Rather than just sit and cry on air (though I will be doing so in between songs) I'll be playing just a load of good music and chatting with my mate Neil, who I have done some shows with in the past and who will give some slight structure to the rambles.

Playlist will include:

The Smiths (obviously), Kate Bush, Kraftwerk, The Fall, Dylan, Bowie, Blondie, Ramones, Clash, Aphex Twin, a couple of oddballs from various film soundtracks and a host of other stuff that I'll just choose on the day.

Link is in my signature.

Shameless plug.



Only half an hour to go. *sigh*

Plug worked, I always forget about peoples radio shows even though I intend to listen, so I now have the link ready to go.

I'll listen while I have my tea.

It's because we're alllll so talented.

Good luck with the show Ed, I'll be on my way home and stopping at a friends for a brew so I'll miss the show, but I hope it goes well. Did you hear anything more off that chap I told you about?

Cheers. I haven't heard anymore from him but that's primarily because I've had lots of work on and it looks like I'll be heading to Leicestershire to work for a few months anyway, so I'll look into radio jobs once I'm back up North.

Oh bugger! Sorry Ed, I missed your last show.


Wife Of Rolex

Always good to hear some Mudhoney on the radio.

Good show you small calf.

You could tell it was my last show by the fact that I chose songs that prominently featured swearing in them.

My Dad has kept recommending that I listen to Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie's show on BBC2 and I'm finally listening to it. Very entertaining.

Having done my last ''How To Recycle A Goat'' ever, I now have to go through the pain of the final ''Mighty Fine Shindig'' ever. If anyone wants to listen in (it should be great fun) you can do so by going to www.sureradio.com and listen from 7:30 to our mammoth 3 hour spectacular!

Bumpity bump.

Linkety-link

This song is poopoo Maian.

Not my choice, I'm afraid. My choices will be of a greater quality.

Aye, it was that lasses, just figured I'd say something to acknowledge that I am listening.

Your acknowledgement is appreciated.

Nearly forgot. Listening now. Maian has Edgar Wright's laugh.

What a cool/odd compliment!

Lee Scratch Perry mix on 6 music now!!!

On tonight's Gobstopper show....

- Fly Me To The Moon editor Rob Nichols comes in on the proviso we have the Champions League final on the telly in the corner...

- We interview Phil Cornell, the bloke what wrote last Saturday's Doctor Who episode...

- And we have live music from local singer-songwriter Bo Cayce.

We would also love love love people to mail in with "Things that are popular but you can't understand why..."

So even if you have one now, mail it in and we'll read it out later.

So far we have tomatoes, Jamie Oliver, The Champions League Final and oral sex.

gobstopper@bbc.co.uk

Fanks - check my signature for the online listening thing...

I'm sure I can spare 45 minutes of my time...but then alas the footie.

But of course mon petit frere. Good luck for the deja vu final.

This time two years ago I was also doing the radio show...

I've sort of got into this habit of tidying the house on Sundays and listening to the past week's Gobstopper. It's proven a good way to kill three hours of time and be moderately productive. Usually, anyway. I was happy up until the guy who was just on (Paddy someone?). Maybe it was his cadence, or possibly the subject, but he was so boring. Bob and Shack must have been counting the seconds until they could put more music on.

All of Jon Ronson's radio series is brilliant. It's funny and fascinating and features an array of wonderful guest contributors - including Jessica in the 'Irrational Thought' episode.

You can listen to them all here.

You'd be mad not to.

I keep forgetting about Gobstopper due to Shack's absence. I'll just have to listen again.

Afternoon...

I think I am safe in saying this bit of information now, although I gather there have been some PM's kicking around, but after my next show on Gobstopper (the 4th of July - "..it will be OUR Independence Day..") I will become a fully fledged weekly sidekick for Bob "Bob" Fischer and will receive renumeration in the form of petrol and biscuit expenses.

Every Wednesday from then you will know where I am, a boon for stalkers and members of the fanclub.

Also, I've not been about for a while because I've been trying to get a few things sorted out. I'm not quite there yet, but I expect I'll be back at some point soonish in a fuller capacity. Peas out.

You should get the crazy redneck hero from the film on the phone, you're big-time enough to get Randy Quaid right?

If we're big enough for Marky Ramone AND Peter Purves, Quaid is a fucking shoe-in.

Eeeeyy! Congratulations Sir Shack! I shall endeavour to get listening in more regularly again - it's been difficult the last few weeks.
Come back to us soon!

Honestly, you wait a while for exciting Shacknews and it all comes along at once...

Gobstopper podcast is happening in a matter of weeks as part of a big national BBC launch. Mr Barraclough (our bossy woss) has sorted it all and it'll be a weekly 20-minute compilation of speech from the show (no music allowed), and be on the main Beeb website.

Together we can make Gobcast great.
