With general election fever looming over our tiny island this month, the members of the B-Music assembly retreat to the Keepers Cottage to grunt, snarl, manipulate the truth, talk over the top of each other and make creative promises they cannot keep. Welcome to Arty Political Broadcasts. This month The Finders Keepers Radio Show looks at art school pop in all its guises – from DIY punk to flamboyant rock excursions; from punk poetry to opinionated pop via agit new wave, visiting theatre, sleeve art and a whole host of global artistic pop funk gestures along the way. Gathered for this one-off special message stalwarts Votel, Shipton, Mitchell do there utmost best to cram too many opinions into one space and overwhelm the listener in true parliamentary style joined throughout the show by original B-Music honcho, writer and closet situationist obsessive John McCready. Sporadic visits from extra special guests Graham Gouldman from 10cc, poetic spokesman John Cooper Clarke and Jane “Silver Globe” Weaver make this edition of our monthly mutant music magazine all the more enthralling while Graham Massey takes our reluctant mascot Tapeworm from the tip to the Toolshed and we keep the punkish paraphernalia rotating in vinyl and cassette form way beyond curfew. Consider this parliament hung(over)!

With the wake of a new season the third episode of Finders Keepers monthly radio magazine returns to your devices ushering musical lost property, foreign fuzz and multiple micro-genres via our regular cosmic conduits at the radio chronic workshop known only as the Keepers Cottage. This month’s episode is punctuated by the concept “Jazz Is Not A Four Letter Word” – a ten-year-old title that was original earmarked for part of a series of releases on Doug and Andy’s hibernating Delay 68 label. Alongside other quadratic genres folk, prog and glam, jazz was once a misunderstood section known to polarise tastes like marmite and mustard sushi burgers but as many hapless vinyl junkies will testify the j word forms the backbone to some of the best record collections in the world and it obviously doesn’t take a bunch of Saxonic nerds from Blighty (such as our guest Graham Massey from Biting Tongues/808 State) to fight its corner… but let’s do it anyway. Expect some of the finest skronk platters from all corners of the globe in this months Jazz themed episode including free/spiritual/cosmic/improv/electronic and other permutations of the joyful noise with various random bursts of unrelated vinyl bliss in the mix courtesy of Votel, Shipton. Mitchell, Ozploitation purveyor James Pianta and not forgetting our favourite ferric oligochaeta Mr. Tapeworm. The jazz amnesty is in session; Iguarglaphones must be left at the door.
