Heads up! Tony Wilson tribute with Steve Morris BBC Radio 2

Stuart Maconie on BBC Radio 2. 8pm GMT Tuesday 14th August

Thanks for that Jeff!

Could someone record it please? I'm going to the Spurs match.

It'll be on Listen Again on the web site for 7 days afterwards.

BTT - starts in 35 mins or so

(in the meantime tom robinson says he is previewing tracks from the new i am kloot album on bbc6)

Morris not on until the second hour.

Did you play Maconies spot the odd one out Fac number game Colin? Which one was it?

The boat on the canal, I think.

The dental work, case against Hannett, the cat and the bucket on Styal Mill's water wheel all sound right to me.

What was the other one

If loving you is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

They used to sing that one to the cat

fac 148, 61, 200, 99, 191 5 in total

I think the dentures are the odd one out. 99

i thought it may have been the bucket on Styall's Mill.Didn't knwo that one but you're probably right , the boat on the canal.

The other on he listed was Fac 61 i think (or was it Fac 98?)- a court case against an errant producer

Nope, there was definitely a dental work attributed a Fac number

I wasn't sure about the hairdresser and I don't recall I Factory endorsed one. But here we go ...

Shorely the errant producer was Hannett.

Didn't know the about Hac hairdressers.

Suspected it might have been the one in Afflecks, cos it was opposite the FAC shop. But that would've been nonsense.

I've seen the Styal Mill bucket.

Never mentioned FAC383. I'm gonna email to make sure he does

Someone said Fac 51 :D

Just said the one that was false was the the Oracle (?) on the Irwell

There was a hairdresser's - Fac98

I thought he said coracle. That's a kind of boat, isn't it?

Someone must be near a computer to Google it?

I sent this:

Stu,

I got your quiz right, but the hairdressers was a guess.

Wilson gave us a FAC number (FAC383) last year. We bullied him into it by sending a big lad round with a bit of paper for him to sign.

Looks great on the badges.

We are the Vikings - followers of New Order.

Well, we were.

Say hi to Steve and goodbye to Tone from us all.

Cheers, Col

I was lying on the floor listening to the Magic Numbers when I got Al's text to say that AHW had died.

Quite a moment.

It's Bernard in his yacht

It's probably been said on here before: Transmission is an amazing tune. Proper timeless.

What was Steve on about church organs for? I missed it 'cos my Mum started talking to me.

He said he buys from the guy who was in the previous song? as he apparently converts them into digital ones.

summat like that

Some sort of van der Graaf Generator connection, I think.

Transmission just never gets dull. As soon as I hear that machine drone, I get a shiver.

It's a song I try not to listen to too often, so I don't ruin it.

The start is the best bit, then it gets better.

"Quite late on and a lot of rubbish was being talked" in Strawberry.

Lovely euphemism for being fcuked.

That was their chance to read my email though

Ah now this is my teenage years now, Guy called Gerald

Marcel King - Reach For Love

Class.

I remember when Voodoo Ray got in the charts - Smash Hits printed the lyrics!

That is a great song - don't remember that one.

Will this work?

Can't believe that I forgot all about this!

YOU'RE ON!

hehe well done got your email on air

Hope someone recorded that!

wheh hey he read out yer email Col!

"But the vikings only have one phone.they all share it"

Ha ha - they sent Ian over to bully Tony into playing them on the telly, we sent Tim to get our FAC no.

Nice one

you said you sent a big bloke round!

do you win £40 though?

can't believe nobody got it right - it was bloomin obvious - he said the coracle was fac 200 the factory number for substance. i entered & told him off for using such an obvious fake number but he didn't read mine out, did mention the menstrual egg timer concept & he skipped over that

Print the legend, Hib!

Biggy's harder quiz then - who designed the timer?

Morrisey's mate Linder

the "conceptual" egg timer you mean?

more interestingly does anyone know if there is tape of barney & hooky doing that elvis song they talked about?

HOORAY!!!

Well done Dave

Dave knows more about New Order than the drummer does

i take it back - he did read mine out after all with the egg timer! fancy him not knowing about the singles ending in 3...

mind you i sent him another when he said nobody got it right pointing out that okay, fac 191 was the factory cat, but did he know that fac 189 was a single by miaow?

Used to always see Vini Reilly around when I lived in west Didsbury. He looked like he'd be blown over in a strong wind.

Ah, Palatine Road in the late 80s - the eye of the storm.

I just told my sister about the email and she asked "what's a fac number?"

So she knows even less than Steve!

Yes indeed - bizarre!

Brilliant, Nick. Exactly as I remembered it.

Listen to my moment of fame again here...

The hairdressers belonged to Andrew Berry - of Morrissey's Hairdresser on Fire fame

I should have this available as mp3 in the morning some time.

Likely to be a wee bit big for me to webserve to yous.....not sure what the best way would be....maybe do it the "old fasioned way", tho it will be a double CD.

Whatever works, Doc! Go for it!

Right, tis captured, anyone got 50MB of webspace?

Or shall I start a weed?

Nice one Col!

Doctor? wrote: Right, tis captured, anyone got 50MB of webspace?

I completely missed this as I was working...

Start a weed, I reckon?

Right then, over to the unkempt end of the garden.....

Wouldn't yousendit.com do the trick? 50 Mb isn't much...

Why not just go to the BBC site and listen there?

Cos it'll only be there for another 5 days? Cos "johnny foreigner" can't listen in? Cos apparently I'm the only bugger round here with the tools to rip it (ie Linux)

Had a chance to listen to this today, nicely done.

Found myself transported for a moment by Sketch For Summer. That's a Blue Monday-esque happy accident of a song if the story is to be believed. Supposedly Hannett pressed some button on some new piece of equipment and it just started making that twittering sound unprompted. Vini picked up his guitar and started playing along, 20 minutes later and the song was written.

Maconie completely fucked it up by segueing it with WIM, but there you go.

Well, you could always use a sound recording program to record from "what you hear", i.e. the soundcard!

(That's what I do, anyway)...

Cheers Ally.

Thanks Ally.

Me too.

Didn't realise it were Linux only!

Well, I was refering to getting a direct copy of the original data, but yes of course, you can do it that way. Actually tried it myself the other night, but wavelab refused point blank for some reason. It would have been easier as it was a total whore to get the right URL. Once I got the genuine link to the realmedia stream, THAT'S where linux comes into it's own.... you just tell the mediaplayer to stream out to wav.

The quality's reasonable considering it's a compression of a compressed stream.

After Maconie introduces Steve he plays some records plus the news so if you skip to 10:50 that's where the interview properly begins.

BIGINRADIO gets his mention around 33:25

Thanks for that Ally, listening to it now.

Thanks Ally!
