Napalm Death playing for children on the BBC

I have to thank my buddy Travis Johnson for alerting me to this bit of incredibly surreal realness: extreme metal legends Napalm Death performing on a BBC musical program for children (apparently called What's That Noise?). I really have nothing more to add to that. Just, wow. Perhaps most amusing of all is the band's decision to play their infamous second-long masterpiece "You Suffer" from their classic debut Scum. Or just the fact that's near impossible to get extreme music on ANY television show, let alone a children's program.

Yes, that appears to be the BBC children's program "What's That Noise." The presenter is performance poet Craig Charles, who went on to be in the cult TV show "Red Dwarf."

Pretty wild to have Napalm Death on such a show. One loves the BBC.

Quite a mixed bunched, the old chap on xylophone, Patrick Moore, made maps of the moon used by both Russia & the USA in their explorations and the later's landing.

Bill Steer's other band, Carcass, appeared in an episode of Red Dwarf. Small world.
