PMB057 Och Aye The Moon (Acapulco Brass, Roger Whittaker, Caribbean Session Musicians, Telly Savalas, Ivor Cutler, Ken Mullen, Tartan Brass)

As you will know, dear listener, the Moonbase periodically detaches itself from its lunar moorings and hovers over various parts of Scotland. We therefore thought it was about time we played a selection of tracks inspired in some way by that great country.The seed of this idea was the purchase of a CD from a charity shop which has a most extraordinary title. A title which in fact prompts many questions to be posed in one's mind. All will become clear as you listen to this week's show.

PLEASE BE WARNED: At several points in this week's show, some truly diabolical attempts are made by your two hosts to put on a Scottish accent. We realise in hindsight that this was probably a very bad idea. Especially as most of our listeners either live in or originate from Scotland. We therefore offer our humblest of pre-emptive apologies and hope that our audience is not decimated as a result of this week's show.

MC Zirconium would like to make it clear that he thinks his Scottish accents are great, so there.

PMB056: Whistle While You Yodel (Shlomo/Swingle Singers, Tex Morton, Slim Gaillard, Mary Schneider, Ronnie Ronalde, Whistler Wilson)

Loyal listener Squig is to thank for suggesting this week's theme which explores yodelling, whistling, beat-boxing, throat singing and many other novel uses of the human voice.

It turns out there is a goldmine of extraordinary vocal recordings out there and we've found several artists who are new to us at the Moonbase but whose work we feel will be featuring heavily in future shows. If you have an idea for a theme for a future episode of the show, dear listener, please let us know.
