Utility Fog

Monday, 20th of October, 2003

The usual anomalous beginning to the show this week. Dedicated the first two songs to the usurper king George Bush, on the eve of his visit to Australia to meet his little buddy Johnny and seal with a kiss the free trade deal that will make Australia the 50+Nth state of the USA… More at Stop Dubya.
Following that, a long special centering on the new album by The Books, with a whole host of folktronica, laptop folk, hip-hop with strings, and even rootsy folksy stuff without electronics! Of course the ragga-jungle-breakcore side of things wasn’t left out either.
