This one is a little later than planned due to a combination of being distracted by a cricket match (which ended in a bore draw due to the visiting team behaving in a very strange way) and the late arrival of a number of impressive releases.

A dozen Different Noises this time firstly a trio celebrating the work of this weeks birthday boy and Manchester music legend  Tim Lyons plus a range of things that were too long for an hour long radio show and in some instances would have scared off the casual listener. https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/gg9yr8/DifferentNoises5.mp3 PLAYLIST The Things - 1,000 … Continue reading Different Noises 5
