Chemical Spotting

Haha I'm watching it as well
Tbh a little embarrest because the commentator recognized it before I could

I have a feeling that musically, it won't get any better than this for the rest of the show

Was it actual Chems or a cover version? Sounded a bit funny to me, but there was a lot of noise over the top.

For me it didn't get more fun than the Austrian entrant. It doesn't look like you're gonna win but hey, there's no accounting for taste!

The Test on 6 Music.


I know, radio is no real spotting, but after hearing the first one and a half seconds i immediately jumped up.

Andrew Weatherall 1992

Song To The Siren vox from 45 mins (intermittently) to about 49:39. Then more STTS from 1hr,16 to about 1hr,21.
And also Jesse Jackson "It's Morning Time!" from 56 mins to 58 mins, and 58:50 to 1hr,1min. And again, even more clearly from 1hr,9mins to 1hr,11mins.

As the Chems claim they followed Weatherall around to hear him play STTS in his DJ sets, then it seems likely they heard him play this Jesse Jackson speech back in '92.

ps Shazam identified Jesse Jackson easily here, but Google "search for a song" didn't...

It's amazing how things come full circle sometimes. When I skipped through this mix and got to that Jackson sample again, it dawned on me that I had heard this "every day of my life" bit somewhere else before:

In the aptly named song "Every day of My Life" from Tom's former band Ariel

If you have SiriusXM, check out this week's (technically last week's) Friday Night Freakout by Drew Carey. It's featured on Little Steven's Underground Garage, which is primarily a premium rock station.

Anyway, It's a three hour show of handpicked tracks by Drew, and he had a set that absolutely killed and consisted of:

The Stone Roses - Love Spreads
The Chemical Brothers - Galvanize
Hot Chip - Over and Over
Stereo MCs - Step It Up

All back to back...

I searched for this movie title and nothing came up in search, so hopefully hasn't been mentioned yet in this thread. Heard this classic track in DC League of Super-Pets.

I guess if you were too young for the 90s and you wanted to do a 30 minute cram-it session of dance choons from that decade, you could do worse than listen to this Megamix the Utah Saints have done for the BBC. There's a bunch of these "Rave Forever" mixes on the BBC website/app at the moment.

6 Music's Rave Forever Utah Saints 90s Megamix.
Includes:
Hey Boy Hey Girl vs. Smokebelch II
Hey Boy Hey Girl vs. Cowgirl

It kinda feels like they were asked to do one of those five minute mini-mixes for Annie Mac, but they did half an hour instead of five minutes.

Speaking of which, the Utah Saints did do a five minute mini mix for Annie Mac back in 2008.
It includes Running Up That Hill which was a US top ten hit for Kate Bush as recently as last summer. And also lots of Chemical-adjacent tracks (artists sampled, DJ'd, remixed by the Chems or even featured in the Chems live show*). And a few seconds of Sammy The Salmon too.

*LL Cool J, Prodigy, KLF, Primal Scream, Sabres, Klaxons, Rolling Stones

No Geography (the track) used as a music bed on Saturday night's Match Of The Day at 53:38.
I was listening to the bass thinking "this is good, what is thi...Oh it's the Chems!"

Ok I was being a bit silly yesterday when I said I posted this in the wrong thread (so then it got moved, which I kinda encuraged). There is a "chemical spotting reason" for this post here. The reason can be found at 1:50 and and 3:37.
