So, having acquired a tape to CD converter, courtesy of Jenny Jet, I played a fair few tracks from 20+ year old mix tapes made by my friend the late, great, Jas Toomer. You’ll notice the sudden drop in volume and sound quality, which of course only adds to the nostalgia!
We also dedicated our show in part to the 400,000+ people who marched for an alternative to public spending cuts. We were there – here’s a kazoo solo, from Emma Bob III!
And this is what we played:
PISS TANK TWAT – Theme from Steptoe and Son
SEX BOB-OMB – Threshold
LCD SOUNDSYSTEM – Losing My Edge
ANDROIDS OF MU – Bored Housewives
BLACK MOTH SUPER RAINBOW – Roller Disco
DIRTY PROJECTORS – Useful Chamber
KAISOKUTOKYO – Dance
REZILLOS – 20,000 Rezillos Under the Sea
ERRORS – Beards
SUPER FURRY ANIMALS – Sidewalk Surfer Girl
PENETRATION – Lifeline
GUIDED BY VOICES – Cut Out Witch
RADIOHEAD – Morning Mr Magpie
AIMEE STEWART – Knock On Wood
Next show is on Saturday 23rd April. Remember you can listen again on BCB’s website, too!
The people behind Emma in that clip seem to be looking to the skies thinking “where is this ethereal, beautiful, sound coming from?” I’ll consider Emma if Wilful Missing ever need a kazoo solo.
I see that like me you seem to have picked up on the politics of ‘Morning Mr Magpie’.
I really should get some more Guided By Voices.

Albert – if you poach EBIII for a kazoo solo, I want in! A cowbell will do me.
