"Adamski and I are at the supermarket on Wednesday evening. We're about to have tagliatelle at his gaff, so we're here for fresh parmesan and napkins. He's flummoxed and indecisive at the remarkable range of serviettes on offer, including the special edition, Diamond Jubilee Union Jack jobs. Eventually, he opts for some 'seaside-y' ones that remind him of napkins once given to him by his mum. As we approach the checkout I ask him what he thinks of "this jubilee business." He calmly reflects that he is "a bit of an anarchist." He questions the cost of the whole shebang "and the Olympics!" When he asks what I think, I respond that "I'm trying to assess the proceedings without anger or cynicism."
We've been in Adrian Sherwood's studio all afternoon, covering an Englebert Humperdinck classic for Adamski's 'Neo-Waltz' project. Before we began work, Adrian regaled us with his special jubilee remix of Lee Scratch Perry's daftly perverse Queen Elizabeth's Pum Pum. It commences with Barack Obama toasting the queen, and continues with extracts from her maiden Christmas address in which she pledged the nation her heart. The other voice you hear on Adrian's deranged 'skank' is Lee's, jabbering about her majesty's privates. "Keep jumping for I" he drawls. It's a hysterical mash-up. Adrian grins impishly at its punkish naughtiness."
