This week's show is now available via the iPlayer. Please visit the link any time between now and the start of the next programme.

I'll keep the banter to a minimum. Don't want to detract, you see, from the sounds.

Oh, and what sounds!

We have some new Future Of The Left. The amount of words in that statement is in inverse proportion to how excited I am about this. I've heard a handful of finished tracks from their forthcoming album (no title or release date announced yet) and they're great [understatement]. They're upright and bipedal compared to the phenomenal but, in comparison, primitive sounds of yore. The new line up has given the band more taut space, more scope for adventure, more sonic grist for Falco's mill. My keyboard is hyperventilating fevered words at the prospect of IT, whenever IT arrives.

In fact, I think the Future Of The Left track's ('Untitled', or possibly something to do with very friendly bears) excellence precipitated some kind of meltdown in CD player 2. Because CD player 2 then had a hissy fit and refused to play anything else for the remainder of the show. Which made for an interesting five minutes.

Elsewhere - you'll find debut plays for LannyBOOM!, Presk, Girl Muscle, Christine Cooper and Lleucu Sian. Do any of you know Lleucu? She's brilliant. But I know nothing about her (other than the fact that she's 18 and from Lampeter - more info, please).

Godfather of the Welsh underground, Alan Holmes, brings us some excellent (when it finally gets played) contemporary blues from Holyhead. Lara Catrin translates some Breichiau Hir. Ben 'Soundhog' Hayes gets bubblegum in our ears - it's up, pop, pink and sticky, courtesy of Ohio Express.

Many crimes were committed to hyperbole during the cause of making this programme but I feel - strongly - that they were all justified. Your mileage may, of course, vary.
