Did anyone notice me being sick?

Yeah, today's show was a bit of a toughie, MeRobin was recovering from a send-off/birthday bash, while Mepaul had woken in the wee small hours to travel from Kutna Hora to be in Brno to pilot the ship. For those of you who dont know your Czech geography, Kutna Hora is what's known in the biz as "'kin miles away"...however my trip did provide me with the chance to observe two fantastice pieces of grafitti - the one above, and another which countered that emotion:
Lovely.
So anyways, off to find some more good sheed for next week. In the meantime, check out the playlist to find out more about all the wonderful choonery we showered you with today.
Tra!

Happy Birthday to you.
Today is Macca's birthday and as if by magic me and paul both turned up at the DIY CHart How today with Paul McCartney Songs to play. Mepaul had selected Paperback writer as a greatest track of all time, a selection that MeLoveYouLongthyme's scientific tests verified as a great.
And Merobin turned up with the 1980 McCartney single, Temporary Secretary which is remarkable for being the first Electroclash single ever released. To celebrate I played google image lottery with the search term, "Macca" and the above was the first picture out of the bag. Probably not a picture of Paul Mccartney but you never know....
Today's featured artist was Ellis Island Sound find out more here.
Today's playlist is here
catch ya next week.

The Happy COuple.
Today's show was, in our own special way, dedicated to that great institution of marriage. When two young people declare their undying love for each other and promise to be faithful to each other in front of all the friends and family and then get hideously drunk and dance til morning to silly silly songs.
and today's show, as our new tag line reflects, was a dedication to that other great institution, the wedding disco.

Today's Seriousness and Chin Scratchery For Grown-up listeners...
...yes, after the carefree rockery of last week, and the Swedefest the week before, this week we decided to kick back and chill. Lots of mellow stuff but with a dark edge - Brightblack Morning Light, Kazumasa Hashimoto, Thom York and Plan B. Just to prove its not all about happy clappy bleepy stuff with us. Sometimes music can be earnest, like a concerned mother discussing her son's marks with his geography teacher.
If that makes no sense at all just go to the playlist , where you can find ways of listening and even downloading many of today's tracks.
Next Saturday we play a wedding! Which means we must be well on the way to being "professional entertainers", non? But dont you worry, we'll have the usual mixture of shit hot tracks pumping out over dat internetty next week. In the meantime, enjoy the Boards Of Canada....
Laters!

The Boards of Canada
It seems that the brothers ambo are up to their secret message tricks once again. they've made a link available via some obscure invisible button on their web site contacts page to a picture which looks like this and another secret image behind that one which looks like this:-
code named red moon it seems to be coordinates for a location or encrypted code of some kind for something or ... who knows.
some young "wag" on the boards of canada forum has replied with this little gem:-
which is probably the funniest thing I've seen all year. Since it's unlikely that the top secret gig will be in Brno - but you never know with the Boards of Canada - I've managed to track down this wee video clip for you listning and viewing pleasure!!
classic BOC! -
