is brought to you by the number 4, the words 'rammed', 'full',
'of', 'sonic' and 'treats', and the letter 'Ff' (I love that Y Ffug song).
I'm not trying to shape the kinds of music that get sent to me but I'm very
keen to hear from Wales' sonic extremities. I must have written a blog here
about how civilised, comfy and nice music broadcasting (TV and radio) has
become. That's all very lovely, safe and to be applauded but music (mostly)
evolves and moves forward because of pressure and influence from the
hinterlands.
This show is happy to be home to the hinterland... nothing to do with 成人论坛
Wales' , but how good is that?
You can send music to me (the track you regard as being your best) either via
the or direct to my inbox聽themysterytour@gmail.com (where you
can also send gig info, new releases and any other correspondence). A short,
factual biog is best, good music does the best talking.
On this week's show, the hunt for fascinating new Welsh sounds continues...
Debut plays come for Casino Thieves, DJ Cymru, Y Ffug, Giving In To Ghosts and The
Hollows.
Ben 'Soundhog' Hayes talks about the Top of the Pops compilation LPs of the 70s and 80s and plays one of their most intriguing re-recordings.
I do something mortifying down the microphone. My mum's going to kill me, she may even stop my pocket money.
Have an excellent, music-filled week.
