SHORTFUSE
an electrifying weekly fusion of stand-up poetry and spokenword
A few weeks ago I was talking to our reclaimed resident DJ David Bush about how all long running TV shows have their own distictive theme tune played at the start of each section of the show. SHORTFUSE has been running every week for over 5 1/2 years, and we need a theme song. Every week leading up to our final show of 2005 - which will be held on Thursday 15th December and will be our Xmas Special SHORTFUSE Poetry Idol Rival Idols 2 - we are auditioning three different songs. The audience's favourite potential theme song each week will go forward to the ultimate SHORTFUSE Theme Song Showdown (oh yes) held on the Xmas Special. And we will use the winning song to intro the show every week...forever, or until I get bored of it. Whichever is the sooner. So, is there any song you think would make a good SHORTFUSE theme tune? Or what first 30 seconds of a song do you want to make people hear everyweek? Send us your suggestions, bring us your records and CD's, come and make noise every week for your favourite, come and stamp your feet at the Xmas Special. Poetry has never been so democratic. Or so frivolous. The weekly winners so far: 1) How soon is now by Hundred Reasons. (Originally by The Smiths) 2) Dr Who by Orbital. 3) Growing on me by The Darkenss. 4) Solomon Bites The Worm by The Bluetones. 5) Waiting for my man by the Velvet Underground. 6) Subterranean Homesick Blues by Bob Dylan. 7) (unknown) (some kinda mixed up 60's electro circus music) 8) Chicken Payback by The Bees.
