We also managed to fit in tracks by two of Malcolm Middleton's favourite songwriters/guitarists, Jackson C. Frank and Davy Graham (who plays Edinburgh and Glasgow in May).

The comedy song of the week was a reggae gem by Clancy Eccles called 'Fattie Fattie' and I managed to get away with the extreme self-indulgence of playing two 9 minute long songs, by David Thomas Broughton and Sun Ra. What more could you want from a radio show?

Chris Bathgate of Edinburgh band Sans Trauma came into the studio to choose some tracks * and chatted about his time touring the US playing bass with Arab Strap. Our resident expert in obscure gems, Digital Plamf, chose a little known Fife band as his Unsung Heroes of the week, and on top of that we had Jonathan Richman trying to steal a girl from her stoner boyfriend and a terrifying stalker song from UK antifolk nutter Paul Hawkins.
