A somewhat disturbing Fade Street/Orphan mashup!
The Fade Street website has just gone up on rte.ie. One section on the website is dedicated to the show’s soundtrack. All the music (bar a couple of background tracks) on the show comes from Irish acts. Here’s the full track listing for episode one. Really love the Jape song (above) which plays over the end credits.
| BAND | TRACK |
| Tallulah Does the Hula | Those Girls |
| Delorentos | Sanctuary |
| Roisin Murphy | Momma’s Place |
| Ham Sandwich | Oh Oh |
| Butterfly Explosion | Turn in You |
| The Immediate | Fashion or Faith |
| Codes | This is Goodbye |
| Alphastates | You Talked I Can Tell |
| Wallis Bird | La La Land |
| Dirty Epics | I Heart You |
| Rags | Razors and Ropes |
| Imelda may | Johnny Got a Boom Boom |
| Pocket Promise | Juno |
| Cathy Davey | Little Red |
| Jape | Nothing Lasts Forever |
“This is North Norfolk Digital: Sustaining and maintaining our core listenership in an increasingly fragmented market place… I just realised I read that from an internal memo… Wasn’t for you to hear. Sorry! Sorry!”
Alan Partridge has bounced back AGAIN and this time he’s landed himself a choice mid-morning spot on North Norfolk’s most popular digital radio station. It’s great to see Alan back. He’s easily my favourite comedy character. Considering this is sponsored by Fosters (not Director’s Bitter?!?) and produced specifically for the internet this could have been incredibly lazy and unfunny, but actually it’s really sharply written and just as funny as ever. No doubt this will re-ignite the rumours of a Partridge movie, which has been in the works since 2005… “Jurassic Park!”
Was very excited to see that Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon have decided to collaborate on a new comedy show called “The Trip”. Coogan and Brydon play “Curb Your Enthusiasm” style versions of themselves just as they did in the brilliant 2005 Michael Winterbottom film “Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story”. (Winterbottom is also back to direct here.)
Imagine my disappointment when I went to the BBC’s website and saw that for some reason it’s only being showed in England, Scotland and Wales. Replacing it in BBC NI’s schedule is “Pop Goes Northern Ireland”. Maybe that’ll be just as good.
*** UPDATE: The Trip is shown at the later time of 23.50 on BBC Northern Ireland on Monday nights. YAY! ***
Fade Street is coming! This show has been a couple of years in the making and there were plenty of times a long the way when it seemed like it wasn’t going to happen. It’s already getting a lot of press so hopefully all the hype will translate into viewers when the show kicks off this Thursday November 11th at 9pm on RTE TWO.
