Space Lady Live
I missed that Radio Clash fave Space Lady aka Susan Dietrich was touring earlier in the year, and even came to the UK! Drat! Here’s the cover that made her famous, stealing Major Tom from Peter Schilling, live busking in 2013. In fact Night School have released a Greatest Hits last year? Last to know,…

RC 243: Aural pOddities 4: Aryan Dogs, Acid Chickens & A Blind Man’s Penis
(collage – ‘Broadcast Your Sound Judgement / Servicing Audio’ 2013) Oh dear – what have you done to deserve this? Another dose (in the chloroform/over sense) of strange songs, outsider music, song poems, aural terrorism and just plain wrongness. Big thanks go to Junk Shop Juke Box, Music for Mentalists (Bevis Frond), Music for Maniacs,…
