Nick Grimshaw spent part of Thursday's show plotting a very unusual invention with New Music Fix Daily's Nathan Shepherd and Deb Grant. Deb, broadcasting under an electric blanket because she's "always cold", revealed she wants to pitch a "human shaped hot water bottle" to Dragons' Den, prompting Nick to suggest she'd need a tandem bike to transport it. The pair were on to talk about New Music Fix Live heading to Nottingham from 16-19 November, with tickets for the closing night party at Mowtown going on sale that morning at bbc.co.uk/newmusicfixlive, featuring DJ sets from Crazy P, Grace Sands and Big Sexy.
The returning House Music feature, back after a break "with Lauren's blessing", brought in some genuinely odd finds from listeners. Ali in Devon sent in a colleague stamping on egg boxes that sounded exactly like Ant Music by Adam and the Ants, while Ed described hearing Pure by the Lightning Seeds coming from his friend's electric bike brakes while pushing it off a ferry from the Isle of Eigg, despite getting "odd looks from the ferry staff" for recording it.
Elsewhere, Nick played a brand new David Byrne track, Let Me Sell You a Dream, made for an upcoming Alex Gibney documentary about Elon Musk, joking that someone should turn Doja Cat's tweets to Musk into a song next. Nick also marked colleague Jen Supernova's birthday by asking listeners for tracks they'd discovered through her show, to be played in his handover to Lauren Laverne.
