It’s the equinox, spring has sprung…or has it? Mini-Beast from the East has the nerve (agents) to spoil our spring, so I thought I’d do what I did with #278 and force the snow to disappear again with a podcast, and it seems to have worked. Yr welcome!

The show is dedicated to Professor Stephen Hawking, black holes, snowcastles and distant friends and their ghost(ly) presences with a wide range of music from metal covers of Adele and Drake, to new-ish hiphop from RTJ and EBM, Icelandic composers, retro and new mashups and electronica, post-rock and even a Bollywood meets modern disco, classic space disco and funk knees up!

If you can’t find anything to like here you are either dead, under a pile of snow, or into purely modern jazz.
