“But I am an equal opportunities micro computer vogeler”

Join Auntie Anna live from sunny Kilburn, London for 3.09 hours of retro micro computer jolly fun and owl based chat on SLAY Radio (the home of Commodore 64* remixes).

Rainy day in sunny Kilburn. Bank holiday should not be battleship grey… but, to brighten up your day she brings you super dupa exclusive from K8-Bit. It’s being the orchestral theme to the brand new Commodore 64 game “Soulless” from Psytronik Software! As if that is not enough we also have an ace play of Max Hall vs Trev Parsons SIDDY treat - SID’s Messij – CoLD SToRAGE Hoopla!

She also wiffles much about the Imperica Horizons ZX Spectrum Event which took place over the weekend. She took down some of her micro magazine collection and much jollity and fun ensued. Fascinating talks, lovely people, and much beepy-noisi, including the fab M J Hibbert and the amazing Matt Westcott, who constructed a Speccy Rick Astley tune live on stage. The nice people from Raspberry Pi were there too which was rather inspiring! You can see some photos here.

Listeners can also find out more about the unique scribbly/art/tweety project 3hundredand65 where a graphic novel type story is being created over the year of 2012 via the medium of Twitter. It’s all in aid of the wonderful Teenage Cancer Trust, and they would love your support! Anna’s tweeting on July 11th and extremely excited! Woot!

As per usual there are the jolliest micro retro tunes, and of course your online requests from the request bucket, and we continue the very first remix.kwed.org remix count down up (RCDU ™) playing every C64 remix tune ever released from 2000-2012. There is much singing, knee worship, and stick to the end as there is an extra special rendition of DJ Skitz’s – R1D1 – with Anna on swanee whistle and Maz on kazooooooo! Beep Beep!

Anorak – you know it makes no sense!
