4pm – Bob Stanley
Bob Stanley is a member of Saint Etienne and writes for the Guardian and the Times when he isn’t face down in a Schweppes crate full of 45s. He will soundtrack your afternoon tea with a selection of improbably beautiful records: expect popcorn, pre rock, girl groups, Brill Building obscurities, fuzzy 70s pop, and something called ‘ghost disco’.
6pm – Colin Greenwood
Colin, who you may just recognise from the band Radiohead, comes down to Domino Radio to play us through some of his records.
8pm – Jon Hopkins
jon brings two exclusive mix tapes to the show with some jolly banter in between, sadly not including some great off-air tips on how to poach an egg in cling film!
the first mix showcases some historical gems from our dear friends at fence records..
the second features a broad and often surprising selection of jon’s current listening habits.
9pm – Cat’s Eyes
Cat’s Eyes are a duo, formed by Rachel Zeffira, a renowned Canadian opera soprano and classical multi-instrumentalist based in London, and Faris Badwan, the singer from British psychedelic-rockers, The Horrors. Their debut album, called simply ‘Cat’s Eyes’, is a romantic pop masterpiece fusing the spirit of mid-’60s productions by Phil Spector, Joe Meek and Shadow Morton with a fiercely modern, experimental premise.
10pm – Anna Calvi
Anna Calvi came and played midnight music.
Dim the lights.
11pm – Geologist of Animal Collective – sick’d and stoned
sick’d and stoned
like it says.
Saturday
12am – Max Tundra’s Rotogravure
Max Tundra’s Rotogravure was a long-running radio show on Resonance FM, on which I played a bunch of music which is never played on other radio shows, plus the occasional bit of music which is. Rotogravure has been off air for a while now, so it’s nice to grab a bunch of records I love and go into a radio studio and play them.
1am – Old Jock Radio
Just to fill you in OJR stands for. Old Jock Radio is an internet radio show that has been broadcasting on a weekly basis for the past 7 years, It’s a mixture of chat, comedy and whtever music takes their fancy. Steve Mason has been part of it since it begun and OJR have kept ion air come hell or high water. To tell you all the bizzare stuff they have done on air would take all night but suffice to say with OJR you never really know what’s gonna happen.
2:30am – Cass Browne – Gorillaz
4:30am – Pram presents Haunted Houses
Transmission
‘An empty house on a dark night disturbed only by the wind blowing the wooden shutters, the tap dripping slowly into the sink and the echoes of former inhabitants.’
A collection of themes, cut-ups and clips from films and soundtracks that have influenced the band interspersed with original recordings including an excerpt from their current project Shadow Shows.
Shadow Shows will be performed at Edinburgh Film Festival on Thursday 23rd June

5:30am – Ipswich Community Radio
The Men For All Seasons are DJ Ugly Boy,
The Fat Funkster and Ipswich’s Cultural Attaché AKA ‘The Fox’
DJ Ugly Boy is so ugly he has had to confine his career to radio – and in particular to obscure community stations that have no budget to pay presenters. DJUB likes to play ‘challenging’ music – or ‘crap’ as his listener(s) describes it. To avoid scaring the public Ugly Boy has to constantly wear the mask of a handsome, intelligent middle aged man.
Fats is a direct descendent of Willie ‘Fatty’ Foulkes who played in goal for Putney. Willie was an England international weighing over 22 stone. He was an immense man with a deep-loathing for both centre-forwards and referees. The Fat Funkster weighs over 30 stone and has a deep loathing for any music apart from 70s funk and the Radio Authority.
Responsible for Ipswich’s cultural ‘offer’ the Fox is a part-time poet and …. well that’s about it. The Fox aims to put Ipswich on the cultural map using the power of poetry. The local council is still awaiting the results of this innovative and revolutionary approach to town planning. Needless to say the number of people visiting Ipswich has reached an all time low. Curiously, during the same period, visitors to Putney have rocketed.
7am – Jude Rogers
When you think back through your life, do you remember the songs that shaped it? Writer Jude Rogers (The Guardian, The Word, New Statesman, Red) takes us back to Abba at the kitchen sink, Yazoo at the operating table, Morrissey in the bedroom, The Breeders in the indie club. Through songs, she remembers lives lost, people loved and lessons learned, taking us through the moving, tender soundtrack to her own life.
7:30am – Ryan’s Spine Tinglers
This show is dedicated to exploring songs that have the certain something necessary to make the hairs on your neck stand up. Perhaps it’s in the composition, the recording, the story behind it, a single minute detail that to identify with or a combination of any of these. It’s a reaction we’ve all had to a song a one point; a tingling, chilling sensation caused by a rush of endorphins and it’s absolutely my favourite reaction any song can conjure. So I’ve collected together some B E A U T I F U L that give me the tingles every time Hopefully it wont just be me this time and you’ll get to enjoy some lovely endorphins yourself.
8:30am – To Rococo Rot – Stefan Schneider presents Roots Speculation Part II
I started listening to Reggae music in the very early 80’s when I discovered Dub albums from Prince Jammy or LKJ. When I started playing bass guitar with Kreidler in 1994, those reggae bass lines were a huge influence on my playing. As I failed to properly play off beat syncopations my bass lines sounded more like country or new wave.
Darryl Moore who’s been a friend and then collaborator of to rococo rot introduced me to some thrift stores in his Brixton neighbourhood where I did endless listening sessions to Jamaican 7” inches. Most of the tunes on my mix are gems from those humid bargain places.
9am – Krissi Murrison – NME
NME editor Krissi Murison presents a show dedicated to Music’s Ultimate Cult Heroes. Inspired by a recent issue of NME in which David Bowie, Arctic Monkeys and more picked their unsung idols, this show is an hour dedicated to the strange, freaky and inspirational, featuring everyone from The Sonics to Syd Barrett, Can to The KLF.
10am – James Yorkston
I put this show together fairly haphazardly, I just let my iPod shuffle along and decide what song was next, so occasionally the mixing isn’t super slick. Also, I became aware halfway through that my speech patterns and links were sounding a bit a bad John Peel impersonator – which wasn’t helped when Ivor Cutler popped up for a song. I enjoyed doing it a lot though and it’s a good show, full of music I love. I’m glad too many of my own songs didn’t appear. I also glad the dog sleeping at my feet didn’t wake up and bark howl along to the music.
11am – Rupert Murphy & Jordan Smith – Serious Questions
Jordan Smith and Rupert Murphy are an altogether worrying answer to a question that nobody asked. Jordan provides the looks and whimsy, and Rupert, the incessant derision.
In Serious Questions, their Saturday morning show, these astonishing dweebs will attempt to solve such mysteries as… Which industry is crying out for a prestigious awards ceremony? Which animal would generate the most pay-per-view revenue if fought in a bath situation? And what really is the best thing ever?
Punctuated with a farntarstic selection of music, encompassing everything from Fleetwood Mac to J Dilla, via Grinderman and The Avalanches, Jordan and Rupert are certain to provide not only answers, but also a matchless aural accompaniment to brunch and, to an extent, lunch.
… Like a pair of supercharged croissants shoved in your ears. Miss it not.
1pm – Punk Shop with Sean Rough Trade
My name is Sean. Sean Andrew Forbes. I’m 44 but haven’t quite grown up yet. I’m a punk – in mind, body and soul. I don’t own a mobile phone. If you look at wikerpedia it says that i’m well respected….never believe what you read on the internet. I Like Domno Records but if truth be told I like Domino Pizza more.
2:30pm – Boz Boorer
Boz Boorer is going to send down the wire, any minute now, a mix tape of some of his favourite grooves, which may be a little bit of glam, punk or rockabilly, possibly all 3.
It’ll be top quality, honest!
3:30pm – Honest Jon’s
Honest Jon’s the shop opened in Golborne Road in 1974. Does this make us the oldest independent record shop in London (England / the world) still trading? Near enough I would think.
The original owners were Jon Clare and his school mate from Liverpool, Dave. “Dave was into James Brown, I was into Clifford Brown” is how Jon describes their primary specialisms, soul and jazz. Reggae also was an early passion. Rae Cheddie – who worked for Jon and Dave, and who went on to represent the Bullwackies label and much else – remembers Augustus Pablo and Horace Andy driving up to wholesale a boot-full of disco 12’s. To this day Mark and I (we worked for Jon for years before taking over the shop in 1992) retain a devotion to these genres, now bolstered by much digging into music from all around the world (not to mention London).
The label we started in 2002 with our mate Damon Albarn as a third partner is a reflection of these far-flung loves. Tonight I am mainly playing music we have released on the label in the last 10 years. There’s a nod to our bebop roots with a track from my main man Sonny Clark, and just like the old days we still take deliveries from singers and players – this week Bernard from the Abyssinians, Jah Shaka and Dr Alimantado have all brought in their records – so I finish with Dr Al’s masterpiece, Best Dressed Chicken In Town, with the Upsetter at the controls, fresh copies of which he brought in to us this morning.
Next time you’re in Portobello, do pop in for a visit?

5pm – Robert Wyatt & Alfie
‘it was a beautiful day for the long drive to louth in deepest lincolnshire to see robert and alfie in their lovely cottage
a most pleasant afternoon was spent musing on some of robert’s favourite jazz and pop tracks, and smoking ALOT of cigarettes..
tune in to hear a completely unedited, intimate and highly revealing recording of all the chat – live and direct from the wyatt’s front room.. ‘
Jonny Bradshaw
6pm – Paddy and Clare
Paddy and Clare met at Domino HQ in 2007. They shared a love of techno and (most) things electronic. Here they bring you a live mix of techno and house spanning the last thirty years, no running order, no agenda, and no seamless mixes. It’s just two bags of records they love, and some musings which may occasionally be informative.
8pm – Dead Air
The show is based on the monodic modal singing of Ancient Greece and the pre-islamic Near East and I have tried to explore the difficulty of logistical pronouns in the Age of HyperRealism. Maintaining at heart a problematic dialogue with the 21st Century’s twin Catamites Strumpet and Skank. Ultimately it is a failure because I don’t know my arse from my elbow
10pm – Clinic
The Clinic show is a fairly wayward compilation of music that has influenced the band over the years.
A mixture of punk, psychedelia, funk and hi-nrg, it ranges from The Residents and Millie, to the Electric Eels and the Liver Birds theme.
A bit of fun just in time for the BBQ season!
11pm – Drag City Records presents Rockin’ Rian’s Rockin’ Ark
“Our version of music. Guaranteed to satisfy the most tolerant listener.”
SUNDAY
12:30am – Billy Reeves – Indie Disco NOT ‘Indie Disco’
Indie Disco not ‘Indie Disco’ – Disco was THE proletarian sound of the ‘70s; and was bought to you but some very small labels at the start. The stories of Disco pioneers is just as interesting as that of the label-dudes who set up jazz, soul, R’n’B and punk. Here’s a beginner’s guide to the great 12 inchers that were released by these Independent labels (before the big guys spoiled it all..).
Billy Reeves is Staines’s greatest ever broadcaster and second most successful songwriter (behind his dear friend and nemesis Rich Archer from Hard-Fi, who’s actually from Kingston anyway).
Reeves is chums with Domino as a result of knowing Laurence “The Hoss” Bell, with whom he worked at the legendary record label Fire records for a week in 1993. As Reeves came in as head of press Bell had dug a tunnel out and was setting up Domino.
He is a Brentford FC fan, and fills his Saturday with pain and joy as a football commentator for BBC London 94.9.
1:30am – Peter Perrett – The Only Ones
‘Listen, right, The Only Ones. That’s the band I’m looking most forward to seeing. I worship The Only Ones. I saw them play in London about three weeks ago, and they were incredible. Just totally fuckin’ mind-blowing. Peter Perrett is a fuckin’ god; he’s got one of the best voices I’ve ever heard in my life. Just beautiful. Even Serpents Shine is an amazing album. I think it’s a masterpiece. I think Pete Perrett only ever writes great songs. And, as I say, a beautiful voice. Great lyrics. I’m a fan, as you can guess, so I’m looking forward to them. They’re playing the same day as us, so that’s an honour to be on the same bill as The Only Ones, you know? Totally incredible, just like… space music, you know?’
Bobby Gillespie
2:30am – Quasi
Driving around in a van for weeks at a time…music music music, coming & going, then BOOM something just splits your skull wide open. Listening to music that brings you back to the whole reason for wanting to play music. Or, you are in some hipster bar, & its a drag, why are you even there?, but then the DJ gets on a roll, stuff you know & love, then deeper – stuff you’ve never heard but is slaying. You have to ask what is THIS? Just a couple songs really, & crap is transformed to gold. Beautiful!
4am – Max Tundra presents Kimitaka Matsumae
Kimitaka Matsumae is a very talented Japanese gentleman who makes music for children’s TV programmes, computer games and you. However you have probably never heard of him. This is a shame as he is one of the most deliriously talented, eclectic, genre-wallopers out there. After this one-hour taster of the great man’s oeuvre, you’ll be itching to track him down. Say hi from me when you do!
5am – Chocolate Bobka
6am – Paul Sandell presents Beautiful Dreamers
7am – Jude Rogers
When you think back through your life, do you remember the songs that shaped it? Writer Jude Rogers (The Guardian, The Word, New Statesman, Red) takes us back to Abba at the kitchen sink, Yazoo at the operating table, Morrissey in the bedroom, The Breeders in the indie club. Through songs, she remembers lives lost, people loved and lessons learned, taking us through the moving, tender soundtrack to her own life.
7:30am – Introduction To Jazz
‘People don’t like Jazz’, Art Blakey, the great Jazz drummer, once said. ’ A name doesn’t make the music. It’s just called that to differentiate it from other types of music’. Unlock your mind for an hour and listen to some Jazz…let me introduce to you an hour of ‘Jazz for people who don’t like Jazz’.
8:30am – Alasdair Roberts – Female Voices of the World
Alasdair Roberts is a musician based in Glasgow, Scotland. Most often a guitarist and singer and wide collaborator, he interprets traditional ballads and creates new pieces of music which draw in various ways on the traditional musical material of his home country of Scotland and the wider world. Alasdair Roberts & Friends’ most recent CD/LP ‘Too Long In This Condition’ is available now on Drag City Records (USA/North America) and Navigator Records (UK/Europe).
For Radio Domino, Alasdair brings us an hour of some of the world’s most distinctive and powerful female voices – from Mexico to Iceland, from Sardinia to Tajikistan.
9:30am – The Pastels – Thomson Colour
Made in response to a suggestion from Domino that our show could feature a lot of our favourite film music. It does, and out of that, other music we often have around us at home. Thomson-color is a film stock that Jacques Tati used for Jour De Fete. At the time it proved unpredictable at process stage and he abandoned it, but in the end, in a finally restored version, it redeemed itself giving the film an extremely particular look.
11am – Caught By The River
If Caught By The River has a sound, it’s the the gentle splash of float to water, the lazy birdsong of a balmy spring afternoon or the idle chatter of a pub garden conversation. In musical terms? Basically anything that fits that bill. Founders Jeff Barrett, Andrew Walsh and Robin Turner bring Caught By The River to life with a couple of hours of pastoral radio featuring guest contributors from the website
1pm – Cass McCombs – Eavesdropping on the Competition
A swarm of cicadas, accompanied by Kris Gillespie, is going to explore an hour of rare, live and unreleased material from the enigmatic Cass McCombs, a listening experience that is sure to add to the mystery.
2pm – Spinney Records featuring Vashti Bunyan & Memory Band
Spinney is a little place where some forgotten music gets dusted down and sent out into the world again. Folky stuff like two of the most lauded but rarest UK folk albums of the early 70s; Vashti Bunyan’s “Just Another Diamond Day” & Barry Dransfield’s self-titled album from 1972; Wil Malone’s proto-synth R&B soundtrack to the 1972 British horror film “Death Line”; the early recordings of Sheffield’s Artery – the band that made Jarvis Cocker form a group himself. There’s been recent folkier work on the subsidiary Hungry Hill includes music by The Memory Band, Nancy Wallace & Anthony Reynolds.
The Spinney Show will air some more neglected music and will feature live appearances from Vashti Bunyan and the Memory Band amongst others.
3:30pm – Brunch Grooves Peter B. and Wells C.
The rich aroma of coffee is enough to open your eyes, but what about your ears? Brunch Grooves is the expertly cooked musical concoction to start your day off right. Ingredients include two turntables and rich, warm vinyl in the varietals of rare groove, soul, funk, jazz, latin, soft psych and more; music with a groove, but not overly hyperactive, so you can ease into the day like the effortless motion of curtains blowing on a sunny spring morning. Put on a pot of french press, flip a few pancakes and sit back and enjoy the Brunch Grooves.
5:30pm – Eat Your Own Ears
Eat Your Own Ears prides itself on promoting music from across the spectrum of genres and which defy genre classification altogether. We programme unexpected but complementary line ups at our events with the hope of bringing together different groups of music fans, creating new audiences and delivering inspiring music to all.
Eat Your Own Ears has made a reputation for identifying potential talent, and building the live profiles of the emerging artists it promotes. As such, EYOE put on the first London shows for Animal Collective, Bloc Party, Battles, Franz Ferdinand and many Mercury nominated acts such as Antony and the Johnsons, The Horrors, The xx and Florence and the Machine, all of whom have gone on to become extremely successful and in some cases household names.
6:30pm – Other Voices
We gathered in the heart of Dublin a City shot though with music, song, language and literature. It was one of those afternoons, time stood still.
Jospeh O Connor the writer of Star of the Sea and of the tender and magnificent Ghostlight began to speak of the notes of music dropped into his ear at a very early age. He talked of Joyce and Synge and Yates and Ska and Reggae and Elvis Costello. Villager Connor J riffed through blood and chocolate and urged us to drop a needle on “I want you”. We closed our eyes and listened to Costello rage. Conor plucked a tune for Dylan he unsheathed his silver dagger and gave air to the old ballad. I had taken down some old recordings, a version of St Dominic’s preview by Van Morrison recorded some 15 years earlier in Temple Bar on a Tuesday afternoon, “All the tables are completely covered…The record company is paying off all the wine…A rare smile from Van”. Adrian Crowley slipped in and we heard his warm murmurings from Other Voices. Radio show always be like this, a personal invitation to the heart of a conversation and a musical convention shared.
Domino would like to thank Tinpot productions for making this show happen.

8pm – Jon Savage – Garage/Psych Punk from 1966/67
Jon Savage is the author of “England’s Dreaming: Sex Pistols and Punk Rock” and “Teenage: The Creation of Youth 1875-1945”. He is also the co-editor of “The Faber Book of Pop”, and the writer of the award winning documentaries “The Brian Epstein Story” (1998) and “Joy Division” (2007). He has produced several compilation cds, including two for Domino: “Dreams Come True: First Wave Electro 1982-7” and “Black Hole: Californian Punk 1977-1980”. In this show for Domino Radio he returns to one of his prime inspirations, Garage Psych Punk from 1966/67.
9:30pm – Late Night Tales
The Late Night Tales series was established way back in 2001 with Fila Brazilia taking to the controls and mixing up the first of what would continue to be the choice of music connoisseurs worldwide.
The idea was to let the world’s best artists delve deep into their collections to create the ultimate late night collection.
Since its conception, we’ve seen the likes of Groove Armada, The Flaming Lips, Four Tet, Belle & Sebastian, Air and many more step up to produce their own individual take on the concept.
The series continues to dazzle with recent albums from Nouvelle Vague, Lindstrom and Fatboy Slim all exploring vastly different styles but all delivering a perfect musical package.
Not only is it a collection of the artist’s favourite tracks and inspirations, there’s also a special, and exclusive might we add, cover version included. This is the chance for our compilers to tackle a hidden gem or pay tribute to an idol by creating something totally new and exciting.
And as if all this wasn’t enough, each mix is put to sleep with a special Late Night spoken word story, taking in the likes of David Shrigley, Bootsy Collins, Brian Blessed, Alex Turner, Will Self and more recently Paul Morley.
So there we have it, look back, look forward, relax and enjoy…
Are you sitting comfortably?
11pm – Domino Pizza Party
MONDAY
12am – The Fifth Element presents The Four Elements
Who is The Fifth Element? Our saviour? Or a lost cause? A movement? Or a missed opportunity? A rebirth? Or an elegy? Who knows?! Who cares?!
Let’s dip our hands into the mercury & dissolve our extremities listening to the dissection of those holy forces holding our collective sanities together: ‘The Elements’! Fire! Earth! Water! Wind!
Intriguing elucidation by resident poet Isabelle Parkinson.
1:30am – Sons & Daughters
2:30am – Purgatory with Stephen and Dan
“Domino’s foray into radio broadcasting brought two employees together to embark on their virgin quest through the airwaves. After the best of intentions, the end result could be best described as moribund.
However, if you still care for music by the likes of The Gun Club, IRS era REM, The Fall and Serge Gainsbourg, then this could be the show for you.”
3:30am – Domino Competition Winner
5:30am – Fred Macpherson (Spector) -‘Hands Up Who Wants to Die: Songs of Rejection and Reflection’
Named after the classic opening lyric of The Birthday Party’s ‘Sonny’s Burning’, ‘Hands Up Who Wants to Die’ is an hour of music for the despairing and disenchanted; a late night foray into some of the more brooding records in my collection. From iconoclastic legends to forgotten NME hype bands and unsung grime heroes, ‘Hands Up…’ isn’t a show bound by genre, but emotion – so tie yourself to your most uncomfortable chair and get ready for the comedown.
“The world is my oyster, but it’s only a shell, full of memories.” – Roxy Music, Song for Europe
