RC 386: Bagpipes, Big Smoke & Bling
Bagpipes are the new rock n’ roll, as is fiddles, accordions and folk is not a four letter word. From London to Scotland via Ireland, we visit hiphop, mashups, deep house, the new ANOHNI album, new Grove and new-ish AFX, and visit two kinds of Drakes (and don’t talk about one of them). And the…

Das Koolies – Best Mindfuck Yet ft Rhys Ifans
Forever being behind the curve, I somehow missed that the rest of Super Furry Animals bar Gruff Rhys had reformed a few years ago as Das Koolies. Looks like Gruff Rhys is focusing on his solo stuff? Das Koolies was a side-project of Super Furries that never happened in the early days – there was…

RC 258: Chocolate Jesus And Killer Bunny
Happy Killer Bunny Day! Did you celebrate Postres-ter, and the Chocolate Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus of Puddings, where he beat off the evil hordes of Killer Bunnies by pelting them with eggs which turned them into delicious hollow chocolate, then ritually wrapped them in foil and strange cardboard boxes? No? Well I did. Zombie…
