Though I'm of the traveling persuasuion, I don't take that many flights. It seems a little wasteful if I do - there's no hurry and I want to see as much of the journey as I can. Tonight I am taking a plane, though - from Hong Kong to London. I could go overland, but this time I really don't have the time or the money. Don't get me wrong, I know there's a lot of people who find flying either distressing or dull, but it still excites me somehow. It's something to do with being up amongst the clouds. They look so odd up there, it's like being in another world. I like going through thunderstorms too, though it seems to scare the other passengers. This mix was made to listen to as you fly. An hour's listening time should cover the allowed listening time on most short-haul flights. Not all the tracks here are about flying - some I just thought would sound good up there. There's no mention of accidents at any point.1. The Divine Comedy - Tonight We Fly2. Girlfrendo - Air3. The Flaming Lips - In the Morning of the Magicians4. Clearlake - Winterlight5. Flanders & Swann - By Air6. Goldfrapp - Fly Me Away7. Angela Morley - Kehaar's Theme8. Vangelis - Blush Response9. Douglas Adams - Learning To Fly10. Gruff Rhys - Skylon!11.

Since this week is the first in the Chinese Year of the Rat, and since China is where I live right now, a rat-and-mouse-themed podcast seemed suitable. Why rats and mice? Because the Chinese don't make a distinction between the two... not just a justification for using that Adam & The Ants demo, I promise.Here's what we have for you today, then:   1. The Walkmen - The Rat   2. The Specials - Rat Race   3. Mogwai - Ratts of the Capital   4. Blood Brothers - Rat Rider   5. Ride - Mousetrap   6. Cliff Carlisle - Mouse's Ear Blues   7. Roland Rat Superstar - No. 1 Rat Fan   8. Adam & The Ants - Mice In Freefall (demo)   9. Sonic Youth - Rats  10. Syd Barrett - Rats  11. Rats - Rats Revenge Pt. 1  12.

My original plans for this week's podcast had to be hastily shelved when I realised there were only 13mbs of space left for me to use. Instead of skipping a week here's an alternative - a mono pod with sounds from the days before stereo was even invented.The 1930s were the decade of the great depression, but also saw the lifting of prohibition in the USA. The jazz and blues that had remained relatively underground in the secretive late 1920s became the soundtrack of the age, with big bands starting to replace smaller groups. The music here is presented roughly chronolologically, with a couple of exceptions.1. Cab Calloway and his Orchestra - Minnie The Moocher2. Fletcher Henderson - Fidgety Feet3. Leadbelly - Goodnight Irene4. Tommy Dorsey's Clambake Seven - The Music Goes Round and Round5. Duke Ellington & The Washingtonians - Rockin' In Rhythm6. Charles Trenet - Je Chante7. The Benny Goodman Sextet - I Got Rhythm8. Fats Waller - It's A Sin To Tell A Lie9. Andrews Sisters - Bei Mir Bist Du Schön(p.s. if anyone has any suggestions of songs about mice, rats or robots then please feel free to leave a comment below)
