Woo - loads of requests tonight: Russian Circles, MSTRKRFT, Refused, Venetian Snares. But I still managed to cram in craploads of brand-new music as well.

The best from the new was Swanton Bombs' 'Who's Asking.' I love the rawness of this track, I love the middle bit guitar riffery. There's a lot to be said for eschewing the wanky solo in favour of the cranking rhythm, The Kinks knew that and so do Swanton Bombs, even though they sound fuck-all like The Kinks.

The best old track has to be Venetian Snares' 'Einstein-Rosen Bridge.' I'm sure I've had it as a best old track before, it's so utterly awesome. And, as old as it is, it still makes people look up and do good WTF?? faces. Pure loveliness!

And, tonight, I broke all my normal Bzangy rules by playing not one but three tracks currently on Radio One. The first was Wiley because I love it and, hey, it's nice to have (a bit) of my song back in the charts! :-)

Tonight's best new track was 'Three Card Brag' by Diversion Tactics. And this is just one song from an album of pure gold. It makes me happy there's already such a raw, solid hip hop album this early in the year. Sooo good.

The best old track was 'Inertiatic Esp' by twiddly funsters The Mars Volta. Seven years old? :-O
