Episode 34 Hooray! or should that be Boo! It's festival season, and indeed this was recorded on Glastonbury weekend, we weren't there but instead we stay warm and dry and try and capture the excitement of Stretford Pageant, and we find out who was headlining Glasto last time Dr Volume was there a verrrry long time ago.

This was only partially successful, but the fact that DJ Rules spent the show with his 'cans' hanging limply from his ears like a bedraggled spaniel didn't prevent us from delivering you another spectacular circumnavigation of planet Groove. The songs come thick and fast, big and brassy with hits old and new from: Andre Williams, Art Brut, Caravan, ...

Once again we veer back and forth from the past to the future and beyond with a playlist more mixed than than the reviews of the new Radiohead LP. We also discuss Record Store Day, plug our website far too much and DJ Rules poses the question "What is Love?" and the slightly harder conundrum "What IS Dubstep?".

Don't worry we'll be back very soon with a normal podcast but hope you enjoy this little diversion. We at Medium Wave have been diggin' the "Cosmic Yacht Rock" of the mighty Seahawks of late (check 'em out here http://seahawks77.wordpress.com/) Inspired by their salty space shanties, we decided to use one of their tunes as a starting point for our own musical yacht trip.

Far from it, instead we regress to age 14 and get strangely over excited about having some female company in the pod as we welcome the lovely Sophie to give her opinions of our musical selections and throw in one of her own. Soph goes head to head with our computer generated voiceover artist, introduces the concept of minty jeans, tries to ignore DJ Rules showing her his 'interesting 7 ...

Peel had his Festive 50, we've got a Seasonal 17. Dr Volume has narrowed his down to a Top 12, while DJ Rules has whittled his down to 5 so he can play some NY NoWave and Pentangle tunes instead. We also discuss what TV-unfriendly surprises we'd like if we were on 'Noels Christmas Presents' and we find out who has finally restored DJ Rules faith in House Mu ...

It's nearly Xmas, and you'll be hard pressed to tell whether thats a roaring log fire in the background or the crackle and hiss of DJ RUles' vinyl collection. This episode we stumble upon the unexpected theme of poetry and the spoken word set to music (well for at least four of the tunes anyway). Elsewhere we discuss whether the campaign to make 4' 33" Xmas number one is the work of a bunch of humourless, spoilsport music snobs and DJ RUles ...

A distinctly spooked-out feel to this show, not sure why but check the photo montage for this show..it's dark!

It's Grim Up North but this week we crack open a bottle of Badgers ale, dish out the Pork Scratchings and DJ Rules goes back to his soul roots.

We dust down our microphones at the vast Medium Wave studio complex and it's soon business as usual with another guided tour around our combined record collections. DJ Rules has come back from his sabbatical with a far-away stare in his eyes, a beret replacing his Kangol titfer and spouting something about 'Conscious Jazz'.
