“Carol Vorderman's Laser Eye Surgery”

Simon is away again this week so the delightful Fiona (aka “DJ ✨🐴✨”) returns to co-host. It's a rather excellent show, with loads of new music from Alt-J, Tweedy, The Drums, Aphex Twin, and Jamie T, plus classics from The Stone Roses, Joy Division, and Kraftwerk.

Meanwhile, the sweltering San Francisco summer heat makes much of this weeks episode incomprehensible, parts of the studio fall apart (again), Burrito Justice tells us (via Tweet) of a mythical secret cupboard, and talk turns to how Ben got his big break in DJing working the Sunday shift in Cambridge Woolworths.
