Stephen and Gillian are Crackers

Apparently they are writing the music for the new Robbie Coltrane series of Cracker which is currently being filmed in Manchester. Heard this on Revolution Radio at lunchtime today when Stephen and Gillian had popped into the radio studio and were plugging their first ever show on Revolution which is at 4.00pm on Sunday 15th January for three hours.

Revolution is based in Oldham ( Owl Dom for Jack_H, gettit?)96.1 I think.

Coltrane himself actually asked them to write the music for the series so he must be a fan of the Other Two.

Actually saw Coltrane while staying at the Radisson Hotel in Manchester just before Chistmas. He had come down for breakfast just as we were leaving the dining room. He was still eating breakfast when we checked out 2 hours later. He's a bit fat.

congratulation to Stephen and Gillian, i hope the next job will be with Speilberg about ufo movie :\ohwell:

That's cool news!

Should this not be moved to the "Music For Pleasure" forum?

So, some more music with Gillian- yay! :)

Just listning to 'The Revolution' Live online now - http://www.revolutiononline.co.uk/

They are playing TRUE FAITH

After playing TF the dj mentioned that S&G will be doing that show 4-7 next sunday, 'as a warm up to next sunday when Andy Rourke will be joining' the station as the sunday DJ.

Go, Stephen and Gillian! She must bbe getting bored at home - watching her band tour around the country you'd get a bit restless.

Probably wont get that series over here - maybe in about 2010 it might be shown at midnight on the ABC.

Will any saint out there be postiung some highlights from this radio program anywhere to upload for lonely people with nothing better to do like myself?

Follow the link to the radio station I posted above - you can listen live over the web!

Thanks Con!

Have to do some serious work to hear this - both internet computers are in siblings rooms who are refusing to vacte for the evening. This is on at like 2 in the morning here.

The only good thing the other two have ever done is manage to make revenge sound good. Let's get this solo project business sorted out once and foir all. Buy 'Electronic' then 'Music for Pleasure' and fuck the rest. My facourite spin-off band is New Order, a popular Joy Division offshoot.

What about the next video of the other two ?I liked very much " Someone like you",unfortunatley King Kong was more strong than the rose.

WHEY! Two great reasons to be cheerful.Gillian back in studio,and another series of Cracker!

Top program.

Laughed at Stephens comment that British Sea Power had 'fallen out of favour with NO fans - I dont know why but I like 'em'.

After going to the trouble of finding the link (& posting it here, & adding it to my faves), I never got to hear any of the show - 3 hours long & I missed ALL of it

Conrad - you didn't miss too much. They didn't talk alot - just played some good music that you've probably heard before.

Highlights of chat included

• Importance of being ernest - dedicated to 'tilly and grace'
• The above British sea power comment
• Playing a song from the o brother where out thou soundtrack (the down to the river to pray one) and Steve recommending the film
• Steve wondering how his 6 yr old daughter Grace has taken a liking to brian eno (or whatever) and playing Bliss on her request _ If I recall, Gillian requested Plug in Baby by Muse and Hey Ya by Outkast Steve played Substitute by the Who and some band which Gillian said only drummers would enjoy

How can some people can be bored in AUSTRALIA,

considering what the term 'cracker' means in the US, i was a tad surprised when i read the title of this thread. ;)

oh, and my great-grandmother's name was fanny. seriously.

i reckon this virtual one character is the one who's crackers

Yes,and i m proud if this virtual one is a cracker,why ,because i don't care if the sun don't shine,where i m going i see light,the real light is inside, take it easy

Hey i'm just kiddin with yer ,Virtual:D

I like your style .Keep it up:D

I know ,it's joke that's why i like neworder forum; cause sometimes i found freaks messages cut and virtual one wqas not "the wild one movie",but if you want to be this johnny ,the stars still bright to everyone.

Can you elaborate? Did I say I was bored somewhere or something?

Whats the US meaning of the word cracker anyway? You've got me wondering now. Its not just a good looking person is it or someone who does crack or is it something a lot more devious?

A cracker is typically a white person from the south, like Alabama or Mississippi, and is a bit of a racist, backwards freak.

Evereyone must be proud about his culture and the colour of his skin,i'm a white race and proud,in the past racism mean against all blacks but actually the deal changed ,it means fight the white people to win much money , and i m sure it's not an April fish or a Belgian story, only one way to one god .

So was my great-grandmother's. Guess they stopped giving names like that when the connotations changed.

Embarassing names aside, I think it's really good news that Gillian is making music again.
