About me

Adam & Joe

As I reflected a few years ago when reading Adam Buxton’s book, Adam & Joe were among the comedians I grew up watching and listening to. Seventeen years ago, I posted an eight-minute clip from their XFM show in which they discussed a new release from the R&B singer R Kelly (who, of course, was not then known to have committed horrendous crimes).

The embedded media player in the original post no longer works, but the original file is still languishing on this server, so I can re-share it today:

It’s certainly of its time – but the sheer joy the pair take in the absurdity of the album is infectious.
