Tune in this Saturday 5th September from 3-6 pm Eastern Time (8-11 pm UK time) to Lord Kelvin the Harmonic Analyst on Trash Flow Radio on WAIF 88.3 FM, Cincinnati (listen on their radio player here.)

Lord Kelvin will be presenting a 3 hour homage to the Japanese ambient music satellite St. GIGA that ran for ten years from 1990. Weed’s very own One Deck Pete has contributed the Rule of the Twelfths mix which will be aired during the first hour of the program. Tune in on Saturday and sail away into space. Thanks go out to Justin Patrick Moore for putting us in touch with Lord Kelvin. #st.GIGA #ambientyvibes

And the heat in there is impressive too! Look at the build up of brandling worms at the bottom. We’ve just seen on the web you can buy them, 100 for £11! All we did is put a wet piece of cardboard down the bottom of the garden. Two days later, worms! Thanks to the great Bob Flowerdew for that! #theuniverseinthecompostbin

Here’s a mono recording off an online SDR earlier today of the second in the series of One Deck Pete’s “Tunes to cheer you up” which was transmitted on Free Radio Skybird via Channel 292 on 6070 kHz. The tune is Ceremony by Mikhail Ovez, the Mark Gaetani Remix on Zedanubi Records. The comments “Why ain’t it in dolby stereo?” and “It isn’t even a clear recording so why bother?” don’t count as it came to us here via the ionosphere on those there short waves.

And here’s news of next week’s transmission…

A trio of great tunes for the weekend, the first courtesy of Funkology via On The Wire on BBC Radio Lancashire, the second courtesy of the excellent mix from Zombies in Miami on the other week’s Beats In Space here. Last not least, featuring the great wordsmith Lee Perry on a brilliant tune from Sherwood & Pinch.
