Project Studio Tea Break

Jump into the PSTB DeLorean, plug in 1kW of guitar pedals, and let's go for a star-studded ride! See Tina Turner, Mick Hucknall, and the drummer from Eastenders clamouring to jump into Puff Daddy's EDM sausage machine. Hear Hawkeye's Imagine Dragons impression, Captain Marvel's Magic Of Pegasus, and Shatner Claus's Gilbert & Sullivan chillout. There's plenty of action fodder too, with Bruce Willis, Mr T, and Vin Diesel all throwing digeridoo shade. Not to be outdone, Jon's been soft-shoe tap-dancing with a pedometer, as well as playing the moray-eel trombone with hundreds of snorkelling mimes. Mike, on the other hand, has endured a tantric single that's left him screaming piano-recording examples in his sleep. Let's hope that he still makes the proto-Twitter Scroll of Honour before he falls on his own wine-pistol...

Welcome to the Rebeccaverse! Yes, you read that correctly, because we're joined by the smack-talking Angel of Christmas herself for our end-of-year spectacular. As you can imagine, the excitement has caused Mike to drop his monocle in his gin and tonic, and Jon to spill his cup of beautiful Balinese angel-cat tea into the hummingbird feeder. It's a musical extravaganza too, as we sing along to 'It's Only A Pumpkin-Spice Subwoofer Moon', 'Twangles The Christmas Squid', and other meditation-metal classics, while swigging our infrabeers for the sake of Auld Lang Syne (and, by extension, Atlantis). Santa's been good to us this year, with news of jellyfish street art (with shading) and cat-related support dogs, as well as the most ripened of Christmas quizzes. In short, the paw of destiny has once more shattered the bounds of time, despite a bad case of sleighbellitis.

The day of Truth has arrived. The day of Justice. The day of Friday. But, even more importantly, it's launch day for Jon Whitten's first ever single under his own name! Yay! The song's called 'How To Make A Mirror', and features, as you'd hope, a herd of harmonising Whittens and the kind of dulcimer playing that only our very own Jon could have shaken a stick at. So what are you waiting for?! Tarry no longer, but head over without delay to the following link and treat your grateful ears to a listen!

https://bit.ly/whittenand

We told you all about Jon Whitten's single release tomorrow, but did you actually go to https://bit.ly/whittenand and immediately follow all his socials in feverish anticipation of the song's arrival?

Deary, deary me.

Well, don't say I didn't warn you...

Casting the veil of anonymity boldly aside, our very own Jon Whitten will be releasing his first ever music under his own name on November 19th -- ie. in just a couple of days' time! It would help him enormously if you could immediately check out and (whisper it!) even follow his social media accounts to stay up to date with the launch. There's steak and potatoes (a capella) to be had. And some Flamenco wrestling too, as you'd expect...

You can find all the links here!

It's another episode stuffed with carefully curated nothing, beneath a comforting veneer of adventure, polished with insanity. Creativity meets the laws of physics with a bump, as Jon trains himself to fall over convincingly in thigh-high leather heels. But that's nothing to Mike's suspicious heatsink-related injuries, which have left him dreaming of magic gofers and a self-emptying plastic volcano. (Serves him right for bringing a rifle mic to an karmic blunderbuss party.) In the wings, The Empress purses her lips like the diva she is, before moving the Archdeacon to tears with Chaucerian English. So pull up a candelabra, pour yourself a refreshing glass of sauerkraut juice, and relax to the sound of grimier-than-thou Luchadors, a purring cheetah, and Morris Minors masquerading as Corvettes.

Despite claiming this whole episode against tax, your intrepid hosts search once more for the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Jon has been chuntering joyously through all the most important notes, despite abuse from his non-bandleader. Even with ravaged thumb joints, though, he's still been chasing headphone-clad cows with his Super Soaker and creating the most offensive video he's seen all year. Meanwhile, Mike has been finger-tutting in the original Javanese, and having the time of his life with happy-clappy backing vocals and a librarian nose-flautist. There's plenty of exciting news to share too, featuring Nirvana's grown-up baby, Switzerland's erstwhile Granstein, and the astounding freeloading of Bing Kerching. But now that RebeccaAngel.net has answered our prayers, will RebeccaAngel.com? Find out in the latest instalment of 'The Quirkening'...

We're back again with a full two watts of pure podcasting power and a shirt full of double-necked electric guitars! Our indoor cat Jon has been busy scaling 30-metre mountains, painting an SM58 like a spy pencil, and making a mic out of a hula hoop. Meanwhile, Mike parts the kimono to reveal the single organ he's been relying on for employment, but (to give discredit where's discredit's due) you have to admire his kitten-perspective cooking blog's Spidey Sense. There's plenty to learn this episode too. How to pull more emotion out of a lampshade. How to get 90% worse at eating silent toasted pitta. How to make lollipops look like trees. And how to reach Zen convergence between calming highlighters and a paradoxically expensive ukulele. Plus, don't miss a guest appearance by the very unhippy Mr & Mrs Clipboard, reminding us all to check the big text again.

As our podcast slips on its Gucci (or is it Prada?) loafers and slides into sloppy middle age, it's time to brew some hot water, suck on a teabag, and ask 'What is a wall?' in a Swedish accent. Jon's been suffering the effects of jitter and bitcrushing, while learning to fail inconspicuously at impromptu outreach. Mike valiantly resists innuendo to report on chocolate acrobatics, whole-body shivers, and a floppy screw, as well as bringing us another banger from Presto Public Relations. (It's about tone and beauty. And Clarkson overwhelm. And an Abbey Road cliché like no other.) That's not all, though, because there's also the tremendous craft of White Woman's Instagram, a pair of 60s space aliens, and some surefire noob tests. So remember: if life gives you lemons, then claim you were going for lemons in the first place!

You can catch the latest show Jon's been working on (called 'Candide, or Optimism At All Costs') at Cambridge's Robinson Theatre until Saturday September 7th:

The Mike & Jon Of Yestermonth valiantly tread water while present-day Mike & Jon pull their finger out and finally find a time they can both record a full episode. Consider it a kind of meta-facepalm...
