Stuart Maconie’s Freak Zone

I was recently made aware of a radio show in England called “Stuart Maconie’s Freak Zone” – I checked out some of their playlists; I think I would feel quite at home with this radio show playing in my home. The show is on BBC6, and comes out of Manchester. Here’s a sampler “Playlist”, taken from a few months of the show:

etc.

So, think you could stand to hear some of this music? I have all of the above tracks on vinyl or CD. Drop me a line, if you are interested to hear it and we’ll see if we can work something out. With this genre of music, I feel I should offer a cassette of it, or something!

p.s. do you like my new icon? it's a drawing of how I feel sometimes...
