our live guests this week are a new streamlined Econoline - now a 2-piece - sounds like it's going to be a much more stripped down thing than the Econoline of old with Piers and Ian playing all sorts of things.

not much bag info today - but it will have in it the new Snowblood CD, more Failsafe cdrs from NZ, the Davenport Family (5x 3") box set, new releases on Mandolin Records and much more....

the recently returned Howard Aggregate will be back with us again - an unexpected literary treat is assured.

presented this week by Chin Keeler, Kev Head and Roxanne Stephen - maybe Charlene Katuwawala and Howard Monk as well.
