I played 3 tracks by Data 70 in tonight’s show, from the new CDÂ Space Loops: The Complete Sessions. By coincidence, Data 70 have put a few tracks on Soundcloud in threes. Â One of this 3, is one of the 3 I played tonight (am I making sense?):
Also in tonight’s show was this by Deerhunter, who curated the wonderful ATP Festival last weekend:

Also, a rather lovely cover by The Shelleys of a song made famous by Shakin’ Stevens, in which guise it was the first 7″ I ever owned.

Saturday begins with two hours of 70’s kids cartoon Hong Kong Phooey on the excellent ATP TV channel provided for the weekend. Refreshed by the antics of the titular kung fu practicing canine, we venture forth into the unknown. [I ventured forth a little earlier than the others and caught Hello Saferide, in Reds. I was rather impressed by her Swedish knack of finding a good tune, and sentimental lyrics. Ed]
Hello Saferide - melodic romanticism
Between the four of us (me, Albert, Simon and Jim) we can conjure up little previous knowledge of Boredoms despite the fact that they appear to have been going since about 1942 and have released about half a million records. The notes about them printed in the frankly beautiful programmes (coming with 4 different covers featuring Matt Groening penned caricatures of Iggy, Joanna Newsome, Daniel Johnston and someone we didn’t recognise [either She & Him or Lightning Dust, the jury is still out – ed]) weren’t much help either. In this we simply read a breathless treatise about Boredoms being Japanese, having a penchant for using lots of drummers, and being a bit ace.
