If we get a three-hour-mix by the Chems then I don't need any other Christmas present.

or maybe this announcement would be an awesome Christmas present . . . (http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af290/DJ7FLAME/christmasmagic1600_zpsinzcqwg1.png) (http://s1016.photobucket.com/user/DJ7FLAME/media/christmasmagic1600_zpsinzcqwg1.png.html)
Well, I believe this type of gift is way too big to fit through the chimney - unfortunately :'(.
The show is a retrospective of their career. They're choosing all the music and they'll be playing old session tracks etc.
Then, in the final hour, BRAND NEW MIX!!
Three hour mix I bet not. I would shit my pants for a live session, but again... probably not, considering their live show philosophy. If we're lucky, I think it'll be like their XFM show, with Laverne in the room too. Probably some interviews, with a confirmation of a 2016 tour (fingers crossed), discussion on how the South America shows went, maybe some talk about Ed's absence, whatever they are willing to reveal. And a chance for a DJ set at the end, maybe the last hour. They'd want to make listeners wait so they're tuned in to the whole show.
But I have a feeling they're not even going to be there for the full three hours. It's going to be Laverne doing a her show about whatever the hell for an hour or two, and the Chems will come on for a interview and stick around for maybe 20 minutes maximum. Tom and Ed will want to be home for Christmas, so the interview is probably pre-recorded too, maybe even over the phone. She'll play Wide Open or some track everyone's heard before, pretend to talk to them "live" for a little bit, then back to her all purpose Christmas special. Still a good chance to hear them say stuff and talk about things, which is great fun and all, but nothing actually special.
Which is totally a missed opportunity, because I can't imagine many people will be spending their Christmas evenings listening to BBC 6Music, instead of, you know, being with family... So they could easily get away with a pounding and self-indulgent Chemical Christmas set.
I have a headache and it is making me cynical.

Ah come on - where's your festive spirit? In the quiet times we long for something like this, even a tiny bit... And with the likes of iPlayer you can still enjoy turkey and parlour games with the folks...
As for listening to radio at Christmas - I still recall hearing Radio 1 playing the bulk of the Glasto set on (I think) Boxing Day 2007, from the start, including Burst Generator. Driving back somewhere, big surprise when it came on, and still unable to get a copy from anywhere...

They are there for the full 3 hours. She spoke about it on her show the other day. It's already been recorded. They're talking about their career, playing their favourite songs and old session tracks, then a new mix in the last hour.

Forgive my humbuggery, I take it all back! End of semester has me down. This is going to rule!
:music
3 hour mix would be cool, including a DL link for it.
Oh it's at 10am on Christmas Day. Well some of us are kinda busy that day. I imagine there will be a listen again option, there usually is for BBC Radio even if it's just a normal show. Better be.

This is amazing 3 whole hours of them. I wouldn't mind hearing them chat extensively about music they like etc. anyway. its been a while we've been lucky to have that lengthy type of interview.

A Chemicals Carol.
Listeneing to 6 music yesterday, they said it would be the chems with Laverne for 3 hours, featuring a 30 minute mix.
Just hearing the ad for it. They talking about their past, their music, remixes, collaborations and live stuff, about the forum, they ban the champagne spiller, letting Toms hair grow back and they made the 30min mix.
Quote6 Music's Chemical Christmas
On this most festive of day's, what better than to be joined by Ed and Tom AKA The Chemical Brothers who chat to Lauren for 3 hours, picking some of their favourite tracks, and some choice tales their over 20 years plus together. From their early days at Uni, to playing Heavenly Social, their Radio 1 Evening Session mix, their relationship with Glastonbury, wanting to work with Bob Dylan, searching for absconding rappers, and catching the attention of mullet-based rock demi-gods. They've done it all. And as a gift to the listeners, Tom and Ed have made an exclusive and unique mix for the show - The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present & Future.
https://soundcloud.com/thepumisher/bbc-6-music-chemical-christmas-teaser-mono
I bet it's going to be a 3 hour live cooking show revolving around the special Steve Dub Jerk Chicken recipe with some music discussed alongside the cuisine procedure. Ed's probably gonna flip and switch records from time to time interrupted by some casual kitchen sink psychology tidbits from his thesis ;D.
we should use the chat for this!
I doubt I'll be able to listen to this at the mother-in-law's :(

It will be a remix of the Soulwax remix of Hey Boy Hey Girl, titled Unwaxed Soulwax Hey Wax Boy Girl DJ (Chemical Brothers Leave The Moon Remix)
no other tracks
See you all in 9 hours
remember to use the chat (http://forum.thechembase.com/index.php?action=chat)
Ima try and be around for this but on the off chance I'm Christmassing too hard, someone is recording it right?
If someone manage to record this completely will be the best christmas present so far.
Did you guys see this program as well ?

Breaking news:

Missed out on the Borthers Gonna Work It Out part but started recording right at its end. Hopefully this show will still be available after broadcasting.
They usually upload each programme after airing on the BBC6 website

Uploading this right now.
One file is the whole show (including the minimix), just cutted the news out, and the other file is the minimix only.
But i've got an shitty upload and have to leave now for about 2 or maybe 3 hours, so links won't show up until 5 or 6 pm.

Here is the complete broadcast as mirror on uploaded => http://uploaded.net/file/y4w8kfd6 (but i don't think this works quiet well because testing the link says that i need premium membership to download)
I've uploaded both on my OneDrive, but i don't know how Microsoft acts in legal questions if i post the link in public - and i don't want Microsoft to close my OneDrive, or more horrible, cancels my complete Microsoft account which i'm using for mostly everything digital (pc, tablet, phone, xbox, onedrive, skype etc)
If you just want to listen to it for another month, you can do this on the 6 music page => http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06s1fkw
Thanx Pum for the link!
Really enjoying the broadcast so far. Lego builds, the hacienda, coachella, etc.
So the Beth Orton/Chemical Brothers cover of Tim Buckley's I Never Asked to Be Your Mountain was happening for a time being.
Here is the thing, I think part of the instrumental is not lost.
In Tom's Psyktronic mix (at like 17 mins in), there is a similar part here: https://youtu.be/MGiNr1bctzw?t=80
Just imagine Beth Orton's voice instead
The Doves remix is so beautiful. I hope it will be released separately someday, otherwise I'll just extract it from the Mix.
Wow, 42 people are in the mix!
They played a tribute to Last train to Tracentral by KLF with the train SFX and synth riff nice.
That Dove Remix is pretty dope! The whole introductory segue with Waterfalls and Last Train is mesmerizing!
And this poll needs another check box: Chems being introduced by Vin Diesel!
Gotta be honest, Dove remix make me cry, was beautiful.
Edit: Actually, everything almost make me cry, it was like a wonderful tale of the musical journey and lifetime experiences. Magnificent special.
Finally listening now. OMG Cocteau Twins. <3

Why is it 1min longer than the mix i've recorded? I even got a couple of seconds of silence before and after the mix, but mine is 28:05min and the soundcloud-one is 29:24
Listening to it again now on BBC in full, its great they have the track listing with all these programmes afterwards too.
I think so far another great moment is when Jonathan Donahue from Mercury Rev said they were responsible for Deserter Songs for giving him confidence in his voice as well. woah.

Maybe they edited it a bit?
Question: the Direct Buki labeled track is this sort of an alternative version of it or is this an entirely different track with just the "freak y'all" vocal sample?
Btw, I love the AKS lfo sound effect at the end.
That great part of the KLF tribute (last train to trancentral) is actually from the White Room movie they did:

Its another track they've used underneath (an edit they've probably done) with the 'freak y'all' sample they used for direct buki. Im trying to shazzam it to figure out what it is but its not enough to register. i've heard it heaps of times too its so annoying. Its one Soulwax used a bit too in the past in there sets I think.
Thanks Pum. Spending the final bit of My Christmas break enjoying the mini-mix.
I'm afraid it will remain exclusive to this mix (just like the Teardrop Remix in another mix).

I don't want to hear it either. Maybe we should all politely ask Tom on twitter to release it.
Muchas gracias, Pum :music
Made the Dove guitar loop my ringtone the other day. It's just that awesome.

I think the original track is on the first Alter Ego album but I can't remember which track, maybe Beat The Bush
I would love to hear the Beth Orton track.
Ooh, this is exciting! I've been too busy Christmassing to listen to this until today.
So far I've just listened to (and downloaded in WAV quality) this thing from soundcloud:

Ok, it's dumbass time: I've downloaded No's 1 & 2 of the three available for the complete show on Sendspace. But they won't allow me to right click and EXTRACT the files. Out of frustration I tried just double clicking which gives me a message "Windows can't open this file". It doesn't even
try to default to Windows Media Player (which it usually would do if I foolishly double click a zipped music file). What am I doing wrong?
Incidentally these dont look like the usual zipped yellow/brown folders, just a white square (one plain white, one with an orange dot or square in the middle)
I guess theyhad this thing in the can on or by 8th December. A little reference to the first track of the mix here:

For the whole show you need to download all three parts. Sendspace hasn't allowed me to upload files larger than 400mb so I had to split them. Only the minimix is one file.
Ok. That occurred to me after my comments above. I now have all three parts in my Downloads. None of them look like normal or zipped files.
So, now what?
Put all three in the same folder, then choose the .oo1 file to unpack - normally the program you unzip with (even the ones build into your os) recognise the other two parts and extracts the complete mp3
There are two things I learned from the 30 minute mix from last Christmas.
1: Paul McCartney didn't sue TLC for borrowing from his Waterfalls track, but he probably could have.
2: I don't know what the track before "System of Survival" is.
Ok so the second one isn't really learning....yet. But if anyone knows, please advise.
Any other comments on this tracklisting would be good too (helpful comments that is - before ya'll take the piss)

Hi and welcome!
That seems to be the case, yes. Maybe there's one lucky DJ out there where this thing's hiding behind a sofa or something.
I'd like a copy of it too because it's so great.

Thanks for the reply :) Yes well we live in hope Tom might release this one day...
I'm listening to KLF's Chill Out album right now and there seem to be all the parts that are used in the Christmas special, even though the tracklist says Last Train to Trancentral. Did the Chems just edit the ones on Chill Out and stitch them together for their mix?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5S_lktstwrs
Doves have been guests on Radcliffe and Maconie's show on 6 Music the other day, but they haven't said a word about an official release of the Brothers remix
Stumbled across this thing today in my music files. I'm not sure I had listened to all 2.5 hours of the program that preceeds the 30 minute mix.
Some thoughts that occurred to me today:
1) I Never Asked To Be Your Mountain by Tim Buckley gets played. Tom mentions that there's an unreleased cover version of the song that they did with Beth Orton ("It might stay unreleased!").
Ed: Is it on tape?
Tom: It's on cassette tape...no, I think Ive got it actually...it's a good 'un.
2) Kraftwerk's Numbers gets played. Well, OK it's no secret that the Chems like Kraftwerk, I think they both went to see Kraftwerk at London's Royal Festival Hall the last time they played. But this particular track choice perhaps reinforces my guess that "Krafty - Numbers" mentioned in this thread (https://forum.thechembase.com/index.php/topic,1043.msg18193.html#msg18193) is probably the Kraftwerk track.
3) The United States of America - The Garden Of Earthly Delights has some psychedelic laughter at the beginning of the track. I'm not saying it has been sampled, but it did make me wonder if it was inspiration for the MAH laughter.

Well yes I know it's released NOW! It's fun to hear them talk about it THEN.
Oh also re that United States of America track, not one of the Youtube uploads I have listened to has the laughter at the beginning of the track. Just the version played on the radio show. So if anyone jumps on Youtube to listen to the track you won't hear what I'm referring to.
EDIT
Also listen to the sounds at 35.04. Do these sound familiar?
