BBBC Presents: The Late Show with Tashi

Hey there folks! This is Tashi tuning in for your listening pleasure. I'm here to play requests, take calls, answer questions, give advice, diagnose your individual psychoses, or even just chat.

I've settled in with my peaches and cottage cheese and I'm ready for anything!

To kick off the show here's Pink Floyd's Welcome to the Machine:

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
Where have you been? It's alright we know where you've been.
You've been in the pipeline, filling in time,
provided with toys and Scouting for Boys.
You bought a guitar to punish your ma,
And you didn't like school, and you know you're nobody's fool,
So welcome to the machine.
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
What did you dream? It's alright we told you what to dream.
You dreamed of a big star, he played a mean guitar,
He always ate in the Steak Bar. He loved to drive in his Jaguar.
So welcome to the machine.

 

And now, a word from our sponsers.


Thirsty? Need a pick me up? Tired of the everyday thing? Drink Pepsi! Because we own everything, even you.

 

Ha! A prank caller!

Hi there, Jones! That's an excellent choice, one of my favourites. And here it is.

//drags out the piano and begins to play Chopin's Nocturne No. 15 in F minor

 

And here's a song that's one of my favourites by the Beatles:

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru deva om.

Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
Thay call me on and on across the universe.
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box,
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe.
Jai guru deva om.

Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter shades of love are ringing through my open ears,
Inciting and inviting me.
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns,
It calls me on and on across the universe.
Jai guru deva om.

Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Jai guru deva om,
Jai guru deva om,
Jai guru deva om...

This shocking news just in! Walmart franchise hates children! More startling details here!

 

Thank you for that informative...information.

And here's another song for this lonely, lonely night. Yoko Kanno's Rain.

I don't feel a thing
and I stopped remembering
The days are just like moments turned to hours

Mother Used to say
if you want, you'll find a way
Bet mother never danced through fire shower

Walk in the rain, in the rain, in the rain
I walk in the rain, in the rain
Is it right or is it wrong
and is it here that I belong

I don't hear a sound
Silent faces in the ground
The quiet screams, but I refuse to listen

If there is a hell
I'm sure this is how it smells
Wish this were a dream, but no, it isn't

Walk in the rain, in the rain, in the rain
I walk in the rain, in the rain
Am I right or am I wrong
and is it here that I belong

Walk in the rain, in the rain, in the rain
I walk in the rain, in the rain
Why do I feel so alone
For some reason I think of home

 

Still around Tashi? I've just been cooking dinner.

 

Hey there! It's absolutely dead here.

I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder
Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Goin' to a party where no one's still alive

I was struck by lighting
Walkin' down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep
It's a dead man's party
Who could ask for more
Everybody's comin', leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door . . .

(Don't run away it's only me)
All dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man
Waitin' for an invitation to arrive
With a dead man . . . Dead Man . . .
Got my best suit and my tie
Shiny silver dollar on either eye
I hear the chauffeur comin' to the door
Says there's room for maybe just one more . . .

I was struck by lighting
Walkin' down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep
It's a dead man's party
Who could ask for more
Everybody's comin', leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door . . .

Don't run away it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
Don't run away it's only me . . .

 

Yeah, I noticed! Oh well, I'm sure we can whip up some witty banter for the next 10 minutes before I have to go again!

 

Yeah it doesn't help that my internet dies every ten minutes.

So how goes it? Have a good time with Beck?

 

Ooh, yeah baby.

I don't think anyone's listening anyway and the only way we're going to up the ratings this late at night are if we're posting naked and posting pictures.

And I'm not even sure THAT would get Community out of its slumber!

I'm going out though, so I'll see you tomorrow.



Oob, I'll pick one more song as well.

 

Oh excellent! Where are you going?

 

I've got a game of netball to play then I'm going out to the DMC DJ Championships to watch some DJ's go nuts.

Here's my song: Wake Up by Eskimo Joe

Hey there young girl
Throw it up here
And I'll catch it in my tree
Throw it higher
If you bring a ladder
Then we can be near
That's no secret
I?ll tell you all about it on your next birthday
You won't believe it
There is one thing that you can do for me
Let me show you what it is

When I wake up, in the morning
You look so good, you look so good
When I get up, when I'm yawning
You look so good, you look so good, to me.

Hey there, I know
Everybody else chose to get up too late
Wear our blue jeans
We keep a lot of pockets and some pants out back
Breakfast, Oh no!
You think I could have just an extra piece
We should go home
There is one thing that you can do for me
Let me show you what it is

When I wake up, in the morning
You look so good, you look so good
When I get up, when I'm yawning
You look so good, you look so good, to me

You won't believe it
You won't be there

 

Well you have fun Kerryn! I'll see you tomorrow. Maybe I'll give posting naked a try and see who notices.

 

Hehe. Be sure to let us know.

I know I'm going to have one of those nights.. I just spent 10 minutes looking for a bloody bra.

Oh well. Have fun tonight! I'll see you tommorrow.

 

Bye bye!

"Saying Goodbye" from The Muppets Take Manhattan

Piggy : Saying goodbye, going away
Seems like goodbye's such a hard thing to say

Kermit : Touching our hands, wondering why

Both : It's time for saying goodbye.


Scooter: Saying goodbye, why is it sad?
Makes us remember the good times we've had
Much more to say, foolish to try
It's time for saying goodbye.

Gonzo : Don't want to leave, but we both know
Sometimes its better to go

Rowlf : Somehow I know, we'll meet again
Not sure quite where and I don't know just when

Floyd : You're in my heart, so until then

Elec : It's time for saying goodbye.
Mayhem


Fozzie : Somehow I know, we'll meet again
Not sure quite where and I don't know just when
You're in my heart so until then
Wanna smile
Wanna cry
Saying goodbye

All : La la la la, la la la la
except It's time for saying goodbye
kermit La la la la, la la la la
&fozzie La la la la-la la la.

 

Well I suppose it's time for a news update.

And it appears that there is absolutely nothing going on.

More on this breaking story as it developes.

In the meantime, I'll play a few songs for you.

//begins her own improved version of Brahms' Lullaby on the piano

 

For those of you that might still be listening at this hour here's Billy Joel.

Goodnight, my angel
Time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Wherever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away

Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
WHen we went sailing on an emerald bay
ANd like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep
THe water's dark
And deep inside this ancient heart
You'll always be a part of me

Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry
And if you sing this lullabye
Then in your heart
There will always be a part of me

Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabyes go on and on...
They never die
That's how you
And I
Will be

 

These two songs are going out to audio_karate

Living inside a barrel
A thousand years earlier than expected
Poor unfortunate one
They're all standing in your sun
Like that's just so unexpected
Hey ooh
And now I wake up to the sounds of video games
There's a line
Run for your life
Before butterfly's wings
Bring down everything
And staring into teacups
Try to bring it all a little closer to something
Nowhere, nothing
Don't cry at me
Cry at the movie screen
And keep your ticket torn in your pocket for the next six weeks
Hey ooh
There's a line
Run for your life
Before butterfly's wings
Bring down everything
Everything (x3)
What you do for now
Will it do for now?
What you do for now



EPONINE
Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius
I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now
You're here, that's all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
And rain will make the flowers grow.

MARIUS
But you will live, 'Ponine - dear God above,
If I could heal your wounds with words of love.

EPONINE
Just hold me now, and let it be.
Shelter me, comfort me

MARIUS
You would live a hundred years
If I could show you how
I won't desert you now...

EPONINE
The rain can't hurt me now
This rain will wash away what's past
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
I'll sleep in your embrace at last.

The rain that brings you here
Is Heaven-blessed!
The skies begin to clear
And I'm at rest
A breath away from where you are
I've come home from so far
So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius

I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now

That's all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close

MARIUS(in counterpoint)
Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine,
You won't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt you now
I'm here

I will stay with you
Till you are sleeping

EPONINE
And rain...

MARIUS
And rain...

EPONINE
Will make the flowers...

MARIUS
Will make the flowers... grow...

 

Well now don't I look silly since audio_karate's editted her post.

Here's Let's Make This Precious by Dexy's Midnight Runners. The dedication goes out just to B'omarr.

Let's Make This Precious
Pure, this must be, it has to be.
Pure, let's make this pure,
(Do you mean it?) Yes I do,
(Then let's sing it) Certainly, but
First bare your hearts and cleanse your souls
(And then?) Let's try and make this precious, like this.
Let's make this precious.
We're striving over here
(Ever nearer?) I think so
(Visions clearer) of course, of course.
But still we must forsake all to win
(All temptation?) everything (for salvation?) now you're talking
Then let this apply to all we do
(And then?) Our striving will guide us
And somehow I think that we'll win.
Let's make this precious,
First let's hear somebody sing me a record
That cries pure and true.
No not those guitars. They're too noisy and crude.
The kind that convinces refuses to leave,
There's no need to turn it up.
If it's pure I'll feel it from here
Let's make this precious, (I think we probably will)
Let's make this precious, (I think we probably will)

 

Eep! Yessir, Mr. UK Sullustian, sir!

Yeah I, I got to know your name
Well and I, could trace your private number baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
I want some

Well I...I set my sights on you
(and no one else will do)
And I, I've got to have my way now, baby
(and no one else will do)
And I, I've got to have my way now, baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're havin' fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come

*You spin me right round, baby
right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round

I, I got be your friend now, baby
And I would like to move in
Just a little bit closer
(little bit closer)

**All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come

(*Repeat)

I want your love
I want your love
(**Repeat)

(*Repeat and fade with ad lib)


Don't hurt me!

Well it looks like this DJ needs sleep before she falls over and dies so I'll leave you with a few songs before the autoDJ comes on before Derek and Erik. Here's Protection by Massive Attack and Goodnight by the Beatles. Gnight all!!

This girl I know needs some shelter
She don't believe anyone can help her
She's doing so much harm, doing so much damage
But you don't want to get involved
You tell her she can manage
And you can't change the way she feels
But you could put your arms around her
I know you want to live yourself
But could you forgive yourself
If you left her just the way
You found her

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

You're a boy and i'm a girl

But you know you can lean on me
And I don't have no fear
I'll take on any man here
Who says that's not the way it should be

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

She's a girl and you're a boy
Sometimes you look so small, look so small
You've got a baby of your own
When your baby's grown, she'll be the one
To catch you when you fall

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

You're a girl and i'm a boy (x4)
Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter
Just runnin' round and round, helter skelter
And I've leaned on me
Now you can lean on me
And that's more than love, that's the way
It should be
Now I can't change the way you think
But I can put my arms around you
That's just part of the deal
That's the way I feel
I put my arms around you

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
You're a boy and i'm a girl (x4)




Now it's time to say good night, good night sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light, good night sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me, dream sweet dreams for you

Close your eyes and I'll close mine, good night sleep tight
Now the moon begins to shine, good night sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me, dream sweet dreams for you

Close your eyes and I'll close mine, good night sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light, good night sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me, dream sweet dreams for you
good night, good night ev'rybody
Ev'rybody ev'rywhere good night

 

Caller: Is this Jobo?
Yes.
Caller: I love the show!
It's Speewwy's, not mine.
Caller: Oh.

How embarrassing.

Hey there, and welcome to night number two of the Late Show. I'm running a little late tonight, had some problems involving three rabid cats and rat guts, but it's all fixed now. While I'm settling, I thought I'd play a song I came across today that I thought was interesting. It's called "Stars and Moon" and it's dedicated to everyone that's listening right now. All two of you.

I met a man without a dollar to his name
Who had no traits of any value but his smile
I met a man who had no yearn or claim to fame
Who was content to let life pass him for a while
And I was sure that all I ever wanted
Was a life like the movie stars led
And he kissed me right here, and he said,

"I'll give you stars and the moon and a soul to guide you
And a promise I'll never go
I'll give you hope to bring out all the life inside you
And the strength that will help you grow.
I'll give you truth and a future that's twenty times better
Than any Hollywood plot."
And I thought, "You know, I'd rather have a yacht."

I met a man who lived his life out on the road
Who left a wife and kids in Portland on a whim
I met a man whose fire and passion always showed
Who asked if I could spare a week to ride with him
But I was sure that all I ever wanted
Was a life that was scripted and planned
And he said, "But you don't understand ?

"I'll give you stars and the moon and the open highway
And a river beneath your feet
I'll give you day full of dreams if you travel my way
And a summer you can't repeat.
I'll give you nights full of passion and days of adventure,
No strings, just warm summer rain."
And I thought, "You know, I'd rather have champagne."

I met a man who had a fortune in the bank
Who had retired at age thirty, set for life.
I met a man and didn't know which stars to thank,
And then he asked one day if I would be his wife.
And I looked up, and all I could think of
Was the life I had dreamt I would live
And I said to him, "What will you give?"

"I'll give you cars and a townhouse in Turtle Bay
And a fur and a diamond ring
And we'll be married in Spain on my yacht today
And we'll honeymoon in Beijing.
And you'll meet stars at the parties I throw at my villas
In Nice and Paris in June."

And I thought, "Okay."
And I took a breath
And I got my yacht
And the years went by
And it never changed
And it never grew
And I never dreamed
And I woke one day
And I looked around
And I thought, "My God...
I'll never have the moon."

 

Speewwy and I appear to be the only ones on tonight. Well folks, welcome! Let's see what we have here... *starts to make some pasta* YUM!
