Big interview in the early parts of tonight’s show with the lovely Greg Seiler (Comatone) & Alon Ilsar (Foley, Gauche etc), whose Trigger Happy album is out now. Fantastic stuff.

Also some lovely droney stuff from Sydney’s Moonmilk, and post-rocky sounds from Melbourne’s Laura.

In Japan I found ginormous quantities of spin-out stuff, like things sitting on the shelves that you never see. More next week (and later!) but tonight we have a couple of newish Japanese releases: Live in Japan captures 13 & God with fantastic sound quality at a brilliant performance from 2005, and includes an otherwise-unreleased (to my knowledge) track. And there’s a delightful Japanese tribute to Penguin Cafe Orchestra that I’ll be sampling more from in the coming weeks!

Finally, I featured a number of 3″ CD releases. London label disco_r.dance recently put out a series of 12 3″ CDs from mostly (entirely?) London-based artists, covering a lot of electronica plus some freak folk and other weirdnesses. Heaps of great music there and I played material from half of the 12 releases…
And much-loved Leeds duo the remote viewer have released a very limited new album in the form of 2 3″ CDs, on their beermat-based spinoff 3″ label mobeer.
