Today's Tedious Link:A Tribe called Quest, Can I Kick It
Today's Transcript:A photograph is what you take with a camera, and according to the famous saying, the camera never lies. 'Lies' was the title of the second album, released in 1988, by Guns N' Roses. Guns N' Roses are still fronted by Axl Rose, who is the original member left after he fell out with everybody. 'Everybody Hurts' is the title of the REM song covered by a selection of artists in order to raise money for the people of Haiti. Haiti is on the same Carribbean island as the Dominican Republic. Republica was the name of the mid-90s band fronted by a lady called Saffron who had hits including 'Drop Dead Gorgeous' and 'Ready To Go'. 'Ready to go' is something your wife, girlfriend or mother is unlikely to say before you as you prepare to leave the house. 'House' is the title of the highly successful US series starring British actor Hugh Laurie, who used to be the foppish of the brilliant Stephen Fry. Fry is one way of cooking fish fingers, with the others being oven bake or grill, under a medium heat for about 15-20 minutes. If you don't want to burn your fingers when handling fish fingers you could use a pair of tongs. The singular form of 'tongs' is 'tong', as in Pete Tong, who's the first voice you hear at the start of the classic track 'Can I Kick It', which links to A Tribe Called Quest and 'Can I Kick It'.
Chris: It might not. I'm not sure Dave. We might have a different version.
Track begins to play...Chris: That's not Pete Tong.
Dave: Nope.
Chris: I mean he is...he does sound like that, but that's not him.
Dave: Yep...
Chris: See, now we're alright. We're cooking with gas now.
Dave: Welcome to the weekend!
Chris: Has this been checked, Aled, this version?
Aled (in background): Hang on! Hang on!
Chris: What? What?
Dave: Essential selection...
Chris: Ohh, I could have got all the Pete Tong "eh-eh-eh-eh-essentials" in, Al...Aled, am I playing this thing? Yes or no?
Aled (in background): No.
Chris: Why not?
Aled (in background): Because it's in the wrong store.
Chris: It's in the
wrong store. Which means that this song hasn't been checked for foul language and violence. Although, I don't believe there to be any bad language in A Tribe Called Quest, I think they were mainly a, er, harmonious group of people.
Aled: Is it possible to use it for the beginning, cos that's the bit you like, and then go to the other version?
Chris: Have you got the other version?
Aled: The other version.
Chris: Alright. Well I can mix it, if you want.
Aled: That's fine.
Track begins to play again, exactly as before...Chris: And you say that's Pete Tong?
Dave: No, that's not Pete Tong.
Chris: Right, now where should he come in, Dave? You do it.
Dave: A Tribe Called Quest..Quest..Quest..Quest...well, something like that.
Chris: Alright. The new version you've given me is exactly the same. So you're saying this is from the 'friendly' pile?
Aled: Er..the one I put in is from the non-friendly pile. The other one says the words 'radio edit'. From the friendly store.
Dave: Al, if this goes wrong language-wise, who's strictly liable? Is it me or you?
Aled: Me.
Chris: Will I get into trouble?
Aled: No..you'll just be slagged off in the papers.
Chris: So should I just play this song and shut up? Alright.
Flaws:Seamless once again, despite the issues with the track.
