Little Dragon. Klapp Klapp. So tonight we have lots of amazing

things, Aloe Blacc, more things to come from him. More stuff at the

piano. A room packed with really extraordinary people.

because of the increased weather temperature throughout. It means we

have heavyweight talent here tonight. Let us hear some things

from their new Luminous LP from The Horrors.

# We are the ones that the light shines down upon

# If we start, it's just a wish we made

a guest here from one of my favourite punk groups, the Slits. It

is Viv Albertine! You describe this in your book. The punk thing, when

it came out, it was 38 years ago or something. Surely not! Near enough.

How would you describe it to somebody who had never been there?

It sprang out of very dark times which are hard to imagine now, how

grim London was. Everything was grey, there was rubbish everywhere.

There was nothing to do, nothing on TV, no youth culture. We weren't

rated in anyway or given a voice. So punk sprang out of having nothing

else to do, it was that or die. And what made you want to be in a band?

It was a slow process. I loved music from very young, but I saw Patti

Smith's album cover, and she looked like a real girl, a bit boy. And

then I saw Johnny rotten perform, he was from north London and went to a

comprehensive School, he was like me except a boy, and I realise that was

what I was going to do full top and was he an easy person to be in a

band with? Who started off playing the saxophone, and that is how he

invented the pogo dance, because he had the saxophone to hold, so all he

could do was John Bob and down. You heard that here first! It was the

live excitement of it all. You went on tour in 1977. We are treated

differently as a girl group? Yes. The Slits were told to get off the

tour bus, go straight to your rooms, and not be seen until the morning,

because how you dress is too offensive. The boys, the Clash and

so on, they were allowed to hang out in the bar, that the Slits mustn't

be seen. We had to to bribe the driver to take on the bus. People

spat at us. We have a little clip here on Omnibus.

The infamous Slits, an all girl band who have never made a record. They

have refused offers from several record labels.

# I'm so glad that you belong to me # We want to be free...

#. APPLAUSE

And the book is great. You are very frank about things in

the book, very clear. Was it an enjoyable process going back over

those times? It was like going through your attic and seeing the

letters you had written. But I could only talk about the moments that

happened when I was in the room so that I could experience them. So I

didn't do a lot of research. It isn't a timetable. It is just

emotional memories. And one of the things was the lead singer, who

sadly is no longer with us. What was so special about her? I think Ari

was one of the most underrated people. She was across between Tina

Turner and others. She invented new dances, had a new look. She was

thrown onto the stage, and she had no inhibitions.

Looking back at the 22-year-old ewe, there are some great pictures. What

advice would you give that person now? -- the 22-year-old you. Don't

think that you now? -- the 22-year-old you. Don't

ahead and do it. Don't give up. APPLAUSE

Thank you very much for joining us! And she is right. And now, from

Kentucky, but now living in Nashville, with a lovely sound, we

welcome Sturgill Simpson. # I've seen Jesus play with flames.

# In a lake of fire. # That I was standing in.

# Met the devil in Seattle and spent nine months inside the lions den.

# Met Buddha yet another time and he showed me a glowing light within.

# But I every time I glare in the eyes of my

# So # You meet and greet and cheat along

the way. # There's a gateway in our mind that

# Where reptile aliens made of light cut you open and pull out all your

# Tell me how you make illegal pain.

# Tell me how you make illegal something that we all make in our

brain. # Some say you might go crazy but

then again it might make you go sane.

# Every time I take a look inside inside that old and fabled book.

# I'm blinded and reminded of the pain caused by some old man in the

sky. # Marijuana, LSD, psilocybin, and

DMT they all changed the way I see. # Marijuana, LSD, psilocybin, and

# But love's the only thing that # So don't waste your mind on

nursery rhymes. # Or fairy tales of blood and wine.

# It's turtles all the way down the line.

# So to each their own til' we go home.

# To other realms our souls must roam.

# To and through the myth that we all call space and time.

# Over and over. # I get to know myself.

# Over and over. # There ain't nobody else.

# It kills to watch you love another.

# I should have known better when I caught you wild. # You were

incredible. # Never knew you like I know you

now. # You are illegible.

# Imperceptible the lines # That form the screw.

# It kills to watch you love another.

# Over and over # I get to know myself.

# Over and over. # There ain't nobody else.

# A receptacle of lies. # Construed to waste your time.

# It kills to watch you love another.

# You know. # Over and over.

# I get to know myself. # Over and over.

# There ain't nobody else. Imperceptible, the lies. # Construed

to waste your time. # It kills to watch you love

another. # It kills to watch you love

another. # It kills to watch you love another

#. Thank you the The Afghan Whigs. We

enjoyed Sturgill Simpson before that. Now, a man that is rocking

number ones all over the world with endless records and endless

successes, he will be in a film and we lovely him madly. He is Aloe

Blacc. # Solider in the city.

# No job to occupy my time. # What else you expect me to do

except crime. # It ain't stealing if it's

somebody's fair. # Refuse to lose with this trouble

on my mind. # Join it all.

# Come knocking at my door? # Where the police don't see me

anymore. # Hopped in that backseat so many

times before. # Solider in the city.

# I'm a solider in the city. # Solider in the city.

# Trying to make some cheese out of all these things.

# Want to find a queen but all I'm seeing is tramps.

# Everyday feels like I'm away at boot camp.

# Bad ass little kids busting out the street lamp.

# Neighbourhood hustler come knocking at my door.

# Got to pay my debts, need to settle the score.

# Cause I don't want no more trouble from these fellas no more.

# Solider in the city. # I'm a solider in the city.

# Solider in the city. # Solider in the city.

# I'm a solider in the city. # Solider in the city.

# Can you hear me marching. # Left, left, left, right, left.

# Fight to survive, try to stay alive.

# Left, left, left, right, left. # Fight to survive, try to stay

alive. # Can you hear me marching.

# Left, right, left. # Don't you know?

# Left, left, left, right, left. # Fight to survive, try to stay

alive. # Left, left, left, right, left.

# Fight to survive, try to stay alive.

# I'm a solider in the city. # I'm a solider in the city. #

APPLAUSE # We're going to forget.

# All the things you could've said. # Whatever's going on.

# Now you're standing alone. # Bet I'll forget the loss.

# We know where you are right now. # We know why you wanted somewhere

to go. # So now you know.

# Turn away. # So now you know.

# Turn away. # And now you know.

# You can mean what you say. # So now you know.

# Turn away. # So now you know.

# Turn away. # And now you know.

# You can mean what you say. # Ready to forget the loss.

# Never let the good things go. # Now just be going when you're out

in the cold. # Beyond the fear of letting go.

# Out there on the shore tonight. # That's the life you put aside for

# So now you know. # Turn away.

# So now you know. # Turn away.

# And now you know. # Turn away.

# You can mean what you say. # So now you know.

Horrors. So now our next guest, I met in the gash of the Avlon Hotel

Thank you, Little Dragon. Now I'm joined by Aloe Blacc! Great to

Thank you, Little Dragon. Now I'm been playing it very loudly. What

are some of the things been playing it very loudly. What

it? I wanted to make an album that still had a soulful feel, but

it? I wanted to make an album that introduced some of the other areas I

am hip-hop and rock, some things that

my fans don't generally hip-hop and rock, some things that

me but I have done in the past. You like to mix things together.

me but I have done in the past. You You're very huge number one hit,

Week Me Up. What is it like to fill a dance floor?

Week Me Up. What is it like to fill do as a forte. If my songs can be

mixed into any different genre, that is cool. You have also been acting

in a film about James Brown. Have you done acting

in a film about James Brown. Have first feature film.

in a film about James Brown. Have enough to get a role in its

alongside some brilliant actors, playing one of James Brown's early

musicians. Is it an enjoyable thing? It is a different craft. It

is -- I'm used to music where I have control over everything, but with

acting, you have to surrender yourself to the director. Your

single, The Man, is that autobiographical? Not so much. I'm

trying to capture that triumph over adversity, to give people something

to sing when they want to make it to the next level. There is this

interpretation of Elton John's Your Song, not to be confused with a song

for you. Do you ever seen that? Could you do us a bit of that?

# I've been so many places in my life and time.

# I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhymes.

# Acted out my life in stages, 10,000 people watching.

# That we're alone now, and I'm singing this song to you.

# I know your image of me is what I hope to be.

# I treated you unkindly, Harling can't you see?

# That there is no one more important to me, baby, can't you see

through me? # Because we're alone now, and I'm

singing this song to you. The wonderful Aloe Blacc, we will

hear from him or later. Top voices at the piano. And now we welcome

back in this corner, the Afghan Whigs.

# Flame. # The time when things would change.

# Still I was a slave. # Waiting to be saved.

# The body sleeps, but I. # Am not too proud to roll.

# On the bad streets. # You'll know this when it's time to

go. # Strange.

# The soul you leave behind. # Dream. # The body leaves the bone.

# To sit upon the throne. # The battle waits for life.

# Dream. # Dream your sins away. # Sin your

dreams away. # You're holding back stuff. # Holding back a chain.

# Heavenly demons. # Outside my window.

# Sent here to see. # Outside this world.

# I call the shadow. # You call.

# Through the summer. # You can breathe the air.

# Rest forever. # Because there's nothing else.

# See the way the valley. # Starts to grow.

# Every movement. # Seems to be for you.

# I can see your future in it. # I can see it there.

# I can see your future in it. # I can see it there.

# And all the things you might do. # And all the things you might do.

# And all the things you might do. # Through the summer.

# You will soon forget. # Days get longer.

# But the sun still sets. # You're so fair while.

# Love is yours to choose. # Life is fragile.

# Don't you let it go. # I can see your future in it.

# I can see it there. # I can see your future in it.

# I see you. # I see you.

# And all the things you might do. # And all the things you might do.

# I see you. # I see you.

Thank you to the Horrors, ICU. Before that we enjoyed Afghan Whigs.

APPLAUSE And clock black.

Let's hear some more of his great music.

# Feeling my way through the darkness.

# Guided by a beating heart. # I can't tell where the journey

will end. # But I know where to start.

# They tell me I'm too young to understand.

# They say I'm caught up in a dream. # Well life will pass me by if I

don't open up my eyes. # Well that's fine by me.

# So wake me up when it's all over. # When I'm wiser and I'm older.

# All this time I was finding myself.

# And I didn't know I was lost. # So wake me up when it's all over.

# When I'm wiser and I'm older. # All this time I was finding

myself. # And I didn't know I was lost.

# Wake me up # Wake me up

# Wake # I tried carrying the weight of the

world. # But I only have two hands.

# Hope I get the chance to travel the world.

# But I don't have any plans. # Wish that I could stay forever

this young. # Not afraid to close my eyes.

# Life's a game made for everyone. # And love is the prize.

# So wake me up when it's all over. # When I'm wiser and I'm older.

# All this time I was finding myself.

# And I didn't know I was lost. # So wake me up when it's all over.

# When I'm wiser and I'm older. # All this time I was finding

myself. # And I didn't know I was lost.

# Didn't know I was lost. # So wake me up when it's all over.

# When I'm wiser and I'm older. # All this time I was finding

myself. # And I didn't know I was lost #.

Thank you, Aloe Blacc, with Week Me Up. That is always got time for now,

and we will be back on Tuesday with Kasabian and much much more. But I

think now we should finish off with a bit of a groove. Have you got a

couple of cords? Make a wish! Make a wish and it comes true. So, thank

you to all of our guests who were here this evening. We had a

beautiful knees up with Aloe Blacc, with the Horrors, with Roger

Cicero. The brilliant Little Dragon. And the Afghan Whigs. Thank

you, Viv Albertine, we love you madly, see you later.
