PMB033 Tick Tock Twang: Jon Brooks, Helmut Zacharias, Supercasanova, Boots Randolph, Frente Cumbiero

PMB033: Tick Tock TwangThis week's show attempts to straddle the worlds of alarm clocks and twanging surf guitar. Alarm clocks are provided by the Advisory Circle's Jon Brooks who has somehow managed to craft an entire album made entirely from the sounds made by a Braun AB-30 alarm clock. The twanging guitar comes from Stories in Sound and the Surf Teens. In between that we also have another track from Helmut Zacharias, two tracks from a West Coast band who are new to us at the Moonbase, Supercasanova, a welcome return of skweee and a cracking piece of electronic tropicalia from Frente Cumbiero.

The Dalek Vicar also returns with a reading from the Haiku Solar System.

PMB032: Bob Dylan at 70

PMB032: Bob Dylan at 70On the show this week we wish that grandfather of the modern folk song, Bob Dylan, a very happy 01000110th (that's 70 for you decimal heads) birthday. Every track on the show this week (with one exception) is a Dylan composition, though the arrangements are not necessarily ones he would approve of, being as they vary from big band now sound, through hysterical spoken word to steel drum and chiptune. However, we feel that without exception they enhance and greatly improve on the original.

MC Zirconium warns that a large dog with eyes the size of saucers once haunted this area.
