PMB007: First Lady of the Hammond, Ethel Smith (21/11/2010)

On the show this week we celebrate the imminent 100th anniversary of birth of the First Lady of the Hammond Organ, Ethel Smith. We also have some fabulous retro-futuristic radiophonic pop from the Monroeville Music Center as well as a couple from a new compilation of spaced-out disco from across the gamut of European library music labels - and some nerdcore.

In addition to the music, MC Zirconium may or may not be telling us about talking plants, UFOs landing in Brazil and the Colonel's secret recipe.

PMB005: Gateway To Continental Europe (07/11/2010)

On this week's show we discuss the shocking result of the recent vote as to whether DJ Bongoboy was right to play L___ M_______'s version of All the Single Ladies, we attempt to redress the balance by playing Wing's version from her brand new album and we also have music from Norway, Belgium, the US of A and Brighton. Wing in fact was kind enough to send us a signed photo, though we are not entirely sure what activity is taking place in this picture. If you have any suggestions, do please tweet us or send us an email. In addition to the music, MC Zirconium will tell us all about Winston Churchill being no longer with us, new bases on the Moon and why not try cigarettes?
