On the show this week we celebrate the imminent 100th anniversary of birth of the First Lady of the Hammond Organ, Ethel Smith. We also have some fabulous retro-futuristic radiophonic pop from the Monroeville Music Center as well as a couple from a new compilation of spaced-out disco from across the gamut of European library music labels – and some nerdcore.
In addition to the music, MC Zirconium may or may not be telling us about talking plants, UFOs landing in Brazil and the Colonel’s secret recipe.
