- PMB065: Introduction to Personal Computing (Perrey & Kingsley, Wing, The Bran Flakes, France Gall, Bruce Haack, Covox, Joel Vandroogenbroeck, John Baker, Gianni Safred, Jonathan Gibbs)This week on the show we kick off a new occasional part-work series of shows in which we aim to introduce listeners to the exciting new world of personal computing. This week's topics include computer safety, jazz computing, computer romance, programming yourself and computing in German.1 hr 3 min
- PMB064: The Birds (The Advisory Circle, Spacedog, Moondog, Julie Andrews, Jean-Jacques Perrey, Neal Hefti, Rick Jones, Ivor Cutler, Jim Fassett)Prompted on the one hand by the inclusion of an owl-themed track on the new Spacedog album and on the other by a seagull-themed track on Jonny Trunk's recently released collection of music and songs used in Fingerbobs, we thought it an appropriate moment to celebrate all things avian by making birds the theme of this week's show. This is part of our ongoing exploration of the animal kingdom. If you have a particular favourite branch of the evolutionary tree or if there is a genus or species you are particularly keen on, do let us know and we will do our best to make it the subject of a future show.59 min

Please assemble in the Company Theatre (managers in the Grand Circle, everyone else in the stalls) where our Board of Directors will present this year's original stage musical outlining the ups and downs of the last 12 months and how we can all do better this year. There will also be a hilarious reference to Brian in marketing around the 34 minute mark.By the end of the show we hope you will all feel fired up and ready to rush back to your franchises to SELL SELL SELL!!!57 min
- PMB063: Punk’s Not Dead (The Wurzels, Tracy Thornton, Coconami, Bruce Graham, Boop Beep Beep Boop, The Swing Easy Orchestra)Chiefly inspired by the remarkable discovery of a whole album's worth of punk covers played on the steel drum(!), we decided it was time to dust off the ripped tartan trousers and attach chains of safety pins to our lab coats as we turn the whole show over to punk rock. Please rest assured, dear regular listener, that this is the Alternative History version of punk rock where one can quite happily use the music as a backdrop to the enjoyment of creamy stilton and several glasses of fortified wine.1 hr 7 min

- PMB061: Bubble and Squeak (William Shatner, Little Roy, Oxykitten, Rufus Harley, Mrs Miller, Eric Winstone, The Ravens, Muzzy Marcellino)After gorging ourselves on some great music throughout 2011 we thought it seasonally appropriate to collect together some of the tracks which didn't make it into some of the shows last year but which are nevertheless great pieces of music.1 hr 24 min

From the publisher's feed
Project Moonbase is filled with music to surprise, delight and occasionally horrify you. Made by someone who really cares (and his prisoner). We bring you music you’ve never heard before that will put…
a smile on your face, open your third eye and make you dance. We love space age bachelor pad music, library music, charity shop cheese, hauntology, ping pong stereo, moog music, sitar-driven psychedelia, lounge, the retro-futuristic, contemporary electronica, soundtrack music, radiophonics, euro-pop, orchestral-pop, industrial-opera, hyphens, 8bit, chip tune, skwee, uneasy listening and steel drums. We’ve been known to salute the theramin, sidle up to an ondes Martenot and smile beneficently on the ukelele. Every episode includes the unnecessary news: the strange, the weird, the futuristic and the fun. Join us now and in the future!
