Hooting Yard: Rancorous Squeegee Goblin

This episode of Hooting Yard On The Air contains the story ‘Ice Chaos’ which was written including words sponsored by listeners, in aid of raising funds for Resonance FM.

Now, it has been pointed out to me more than once that I am hardly qualified to talk about extreme weather conditions, as the only weather we get at Hooting Yard is rain, sometimes torrential, sometimes a drizzle, and this is true.

What my critics fail to note is that, ensconced in a cabin somewhere over by Blister Lane Bypass, we have a superb forecaster. I speak, of course, of Little Severin, the Mystic Badger. When it comes to predicting the weather, Little Severin is second to none, not even to the BBC’s magnificent Dan Corbett. If you have not watched Dan, visit That’s The Weather For Now and be amazed. Little Severin the Mystic Badger has not yet been blessed with a fan site all his own, but it can only be a matter of time.

Hooting Yard: Terrifyingly Pale Fists

I was sent some tickets in the post yesterday, as a special treat. I know that Tim the radio meteorologist says that Thursday will be a day of driving rain and howling gales, and I know that it will be the fourth day of our fast, and we will be famished, but I am determined that we go. The alternative is that we spend yet another afternoon trying to tether the wild goats, and I am not sure I can take much more of that, so the balsa wood factory it will be.

I’m ready for my close-up: Imbolc Day

Originally broadcast on Imbolc day (Groundhog Eve if you’re American) which means we’re half way to Spring… To celebrate this minor event, Alex Fitch is sticking his head out of his metaphorical burrow and looking forward to various events in the cinema and home entertainment. Tonight’s show includes interviews with Matthew Sweet (Silent Britain) about his Doctor Who audio plays, Tom Purcell (animator) about winning “Best Imaginative Response to the Subject of War” at the IWM student film festival and Geoff Andrew (BFI) about forthcoming screenings at the NFT.

Red Zero Radio: Atomhead

Atomhead ploughs a chaotic path of blistering squelch. Reminiscent of Xenakis’ late 60s electronic work the music operates at the border of dancefloors and power electronics. This set was recorded live at PUNXTC in Strasbourg, a very memorable Hangars Liquides party, 12 Nov 2005.

This set was first aired as part of the decibel breach show
