Also, that choice of David Morales' Hideaway from 2018 instead of the 1995 De'Lacy/Deep Dish version(s) is a travesty! Bernard's a funny mixture of humility ("maybe we weren't that good, we were just being played at the time) and his old headstrong self. He did well to remain polite as the interviewer repeatedly called the Chemical Brothers a Manchester band. I think Wikipedia may be responsible for that. They did meet at Manchester Uni and shared a student house there, but they came from London/Henley and when they left Uni, they left Manchester.

Yeah. I'm guessing that, with the track selection, he mixed things up a little bit to keep it interesting.
I imagine he's been asked to contribute to similar discussions many times before and probably finds it boring to repeat himself with the same tracks over and over ('Ride A White Swan' / 'Voodoo Chile', being the first records he bought, 'Anarchy In The UK', 'Trans Europe Express', 'Warszawa' etc.).
'Twisted Tenderness' was a definite odd choice though. It hardly made him. He made it.
Maybe he was given a 'brief' prior to the programme which stated 'play some records that sum up you life and that you'd love to hear'.
Having never heard the programme before, it may be that guests do the same as Bernard each week.

An absolute thrill, I imagine. The live footage at 2.09 is presumably taken from Zach's support slot at a New York NO gig a year or two back; NO's name clearly visible on the left of screen. The face masks/covid19 stuff is very au courant but part of me wants to forget about that stuff during the five minutes of this track... Well, speaking of new music and Covid19, if this isn't an ideal opportunity for Bernard and Co to make some new music in lieu of live gigs, I don't know what is. Have a word Zach!
