![]() ![]() Having spent much of yesterday moving cacti and succulents between different parts of my house and greenhouse, I can totally understand that. Jane: Yeah, that metaphor was not lost on me, I have to say. Brilliant, but terrifying.ĭean: Well, I suppose when you're really into cacti and succulents, they do take over your life a bit. You guys slowly turning into cacti was brilliant. I think it's going to give me a nightmare, that video. It takes a certain kind of brain to be able to turn this stuff into a song, accompanied, I must say, by a wonderful video, which is absolutely amazing. For me, as somebody who loves all the Latin names, it made me ridiculously excited. One of the things I love about this song is the way you recite all these Latin names. I liked it when I used to go and I keep a lot of cacti and succulents. Are you a member or an ex-member?ĭean: I have been a member of the national society and I'm still a member of the Leeds branch, but I don't quite have enough time to keep going to all the meetings. Jane: Now, this isn't something you just come across and think, "Oh, that's a great theme for a song. I am the singer and bass player and I have written a song about the British Cactus and Succulent Society. I am in a band called Biscuithead and the Biscuit Badgers. I'm going to play the song in full at the end of this episode, but first let's hear from Dean about his inspiration for the tune.ĭean: My name's Dean. How, pray tell, you may ask, can one write a song about the BCSS? Well, Dean has managed it and it's absolutely gorgeous. It's called BCSS, which is short for - as regular listeners will know - the British Cactus and Succulent Society. Just follow me at and also at to join in.ĭean Murray is lead singer of Biscuithead and the Biscuit Badgers, a wonderfully eccentric British group who have created a song that cannot be surpassed. If you want to add yourself to this merry band, then just head over to the show notes at to find out how.ĭon't forget that Houseplant Hour is on Twitter at 9 o'clock on Tuesday GMT, and that's becoming ever more popular, a chance to spread the house plant love. My new Patreons this week include Heidi, Emma and Ms Holly, who all became Ledge Ends. If I don't have any questions, I'll just waffle on as I always do, but it would be lovely if you could join me to celebrate my 200 Patreons in all their brilliantness and we can also talk about whatever you want to chat about. I will be on Facebook sitting around waiting for somebody to ask me a question. I'm delighted to say that I have busted right through the 200 Patreon mark, which means that Facebook Live is coming this very Wednesday at 7pm GMT. ![]() Well, I'm glad to say that the unnamed theme that I talked about in the last episode has come off, and that means we'll be hearing a track from Biscuithead and the Biscuit Badgers, and it's an ode to the cactus and succulent world! I'm going to be talking to the man behind the song about his inspiration for it. Hello, and welcome to Midweek Bonus No 4. ![]() BCSS BY BISCUITHEAD AND THE BISCUIT BADGERS ![]()
