DJ Bongoboy will be making a rare trip to Planet Earth (Edinburgh to be precise) on Saturday 19 May. He’ll be spinning some tunes with a distinctly dinosaur and jungle theme at The Beast from 2-4pm.
The Beast is an exhibition of plastersenosaurs created by a young artist called Abe Locke with some drawings by Emma Bowen.
Don’t be shy. Pop in and say hello. Have a cup of tea and a chat. Make a plastersenosaur.
Adults, children and small animals very welcome.
After spending a quiet afternoon enjoying the soundtrack to Daktari with Space Disco Jeff recently (as one does), he suggested that we do a show all about lions. We felt this was perhaps slightly too niche so instead we turn this week’s show over to the wider world of big cats. We also have another version of show favourite Caravan – this time mambo style!

Back in 1979, Italian electronic composer Roberto Cacciapaglia decided to make futuristic pop album with American model Ann Steel who’d relocated to Italy to try to make it big in the fashion world. The resulting album, called simply The Ann Steel Album has been reissued (on vinyl only) by London label Half Machine. You can listen to the whole album on SoundCloud.
Here’s an extraordinary video of Ms Steel in action on an Italian pop show called Tilt:
Thanks to follower @bitsgalore for bringing this lost piece of retro-futurism to our attention.
It’s time to pull on your favourite slacks as we celebrate the exciting world of the trouser. This week’s theme was inspired by Chinese quartet New Pants, who have become something of a favourite of the show in recent weeks and also the extremely mirth-inducing trouser-related contribution to The Soulless Party’s Electronic Encounters project by Dolly Dolly David.

This week’s show (due out later today) is all about the exciting world of trousers. One essential piece of equipment for any trouser enthusiast is a trouser press. As everyone knows, the masters of the art of pressing are Corby. So here’s a look at the technically advanced Corby Trouser Press 7700W
