The Show
On the show this evening we brought you the first two parts of an interview recently recorded with Moog-master Dana Countryman on the release of his debut album 'Moog-tastic'. In addition to that we heard chiptune, ukulele, soundtrack music and possibly something by the Herb.

In addition to the music, MC Zirconium told us about a horse boy, unicorn meat and a dog hotel.

Taking the night off

I'm afraid there was no show this evening. DJ Bongoboy was off getting his dimensions re-aligned and MC Zirconium was back in the hutch having to survive on powdered space food capsules once again.

Normal service will resume next week.

The Show
On the show this evening DJ Bongoboy put on his power shirt, red braces and bright yellow leggings as he took you back to an entirely fictitious 1980s. This was inspired by the release tomorrow of the first studio album proper by "hypnagogic pop" pioneer Ariel Pink. We'll also have music from other bands exploring this sound world plus chiptune, The Herb and the return of our Sea of Tranquility feature.

In addition to the music, MC Zirconium wove tales of wonder about Korean super drink, teeny-tiny black holes and Windows 7 noodles.
