Tag: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Tertiary to Hexagonal Phases

On Thursday Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams reached 40 on Thursday, the first radio broadcast was 8th March 1978, and there is a new 'Hexagonal Phase' to celebrate. So as well as it being #h2g2week on Radio Clash, this edition is celebrating the music of Hitchhiker's, related space and electronic themes interspersed with interviews with the writer and creator, Douglas Adams, and of course Arthur, Marvin, Ford, Trillian and Zaphod... This was recorded on Friday, and have to say the Art of Noise gig was amazing - bumped into some old mashup friends, DJ Food / Kev was DJing, and it was great to finally see Anne, JJ and Gary do Close to the Edit. I danced like a loon! (and yes Max and Paul Morley made appearances via video). P.S. I forgot to explain the title...it's a word I made up a child reading HGTTG, 'froopy' which was like 'hoopy' and used to say it all the time...it was my word for something that was cool or great.
