PMB002: Billy Strange (17/10/10)

Welcome to our second podcast, in which we celebrate the music of composer, arranger and guitar-twanger extraordinaire, Billy Strange (thanks to tweeters KingNirdle and JanDerrer for the suggestion). In addition to that, we have music from another of our listeners, Soulless Party, as well as chiptune, space age bachelor pad music and a brand new track from Stereloab.

Plus, MC Zirconium will be telling us all about Nobel/Ig Nobel, eye glue and clown congress.

The Historic Future of Project Moonbase

Dear Listeners,

Some of you may know that we recently delivered our last Leith FM Project Moonbase.

After years of faithful service, we rebelled, lining up the station in the cross hairs of our disruptor beam, for a moment contemplating its fiery demise. Then the crazy-fog lifted and we left on good terms, or a least we would have, had anyone been there.

You may be saying to yourself but, but, but, what, eh,? What will I do with my Sunday nights now? Must I form a meaningful relationship with my children or read improving literature? CERTAINLY NOT! Through the magics of the interwebs we are reborn! Fresh from having our brains transplanted into the bodies of giant killer robots, we are launching a spangly new podcast and you dear listener can ...ahem... listen to it, with your ears.

Where can I listen to the brand new Project Moonbase podcast?

Tune your browser to the Project Moonbase website.

Subscribe to our RSS feed for the Project Moonbase podcast.

Follow us on Twitter.

Join our Facebook group.

It's just like the future should be.

When will I be able to listen to the podcast?

We will aim to make each podcast available from 8pm on Sundays so as not to disrupt your Sunday evening routine of biscuits, pickles, chiptune and Wing.

Exotic Pylon Podcast

The lovely Jonny Mugwump of Resonance FM's Saturday night show Exotic Pylon has kindly offered to host the first ever podcast edition of Project Moonbase.

It was posted on the Exotic Pylon website on Saturday 24 July.

You can also listen to it directly here:


This edition of the show is slightly different to our weekly show on Leith FM. For the podcast we look at the science behind Project Moonbase and answer the following important questions:

• What is it all about?
  
• Where did it all come from?
  
• How does Bentleys' Paradox fit in?

There will be practical exercises throughout, together with stimulating music and discussion.

Check back here on Saturday night for a tracklisting for the podcast.
