The Bing Selfish Radio Show: Selfish Tales
[Repeated from Monday 2pm.] Selfish Tales: Selfish in Space - Part 1. In a post-scarcity universe, an intrepid team of space explorers encounter (and epitomise) scarcity of good sense, good anticipation and good music when they stomp into the middle of a civil war between Experimentalists, Avant Gardists and Improvisers. Will they manage to make a bad situation worse? A deep philosophical meditation on the nature of art, interstellar navigation and reality, with jokes. Selfish Tales is the latest emanation from The Bing Selfish Radio Show and brings you stories you never knew you wanted to hear. Expect music, including in this case, experimentalism, avant gardism and improvisationalismisticality, plus actual songs, voices, sounds and surprises. We can't tell you much more right now, or you'd just steal all our ideas and do it all yourself with a finely tuned grant application.

Fog Cast
A series of late night deep listening soundtracks presented by Robin The Fog. Tonight's episode opens with a spool of tape containing the sublime composition 'Reflections' by composer Phil Ellis, purporting to date from the late '70s to early '80s. We're playing it partly as an appeal, in the hope that somebody can help us track Phil down as this may be the first time the work has been heard in 40 years! We also hear tracks from 'Eleven Fugues For Sodium Pentothal', the new solo album by former Stars of the Lid member Adam Wiltzie, plus recent works from Will Gardner and Field Lines Cartographer. To close, a second Phil Ellis piece, 'Unquiet', followed by four extracts from Maryanne Royle's installation 'Look at this Land, Look Around You' at Gallery FRANK in Littleborough. Come drift into the night with us... Further details at: robinthefog.com. [Repeats Sunday 2.30am.]
