The GIve give give of this week's show was provided by

Instant Automatons
Back in about 1987 - 88, I remember my Dad asking me what music I liked and I replied, Indie Music. I was thinking about The Jesus Mary Chain and the electrohippies and jesus jones and similar bands, which Janice Long and John Peel were playing to me. I figured I knew what I was talking about. I remember my Dad's reply, "So, your sending off blank tapes to obscure bands in magazines and getting them to send you their music" - I looked at the old man like he was a proper martian. Little did I realise he knew exactly what he was talking about. In the Late 70's and early 80's people were distributing their own music by themselves via blank C60 and C90 tapes that buzzes around the world via the 80's equivalent of the internet (the postal service). Possibly the founders of this movement - or at least one of the most notable bands were the Instant Automatons. find out loads more about them from their website.
