when Mat Hoods came to visit...

Mat's a lovely bloke from Manchester who, as well as being a top DJ, record collector, music brain and all-round nice man, co-runs the quite brilliant Plimsoll Records and presents regular shows on Purple Radio and StraightUp.

He paid us a visit in Cardiff recently and in between drinking and shouting at each other about records, we managed to knock out a few hours of radio too. I'm not going to pretend that any of it is pretty, but there are some diamonds amongst that rough...

The first was the usual Friday post-pub selection on the Badly Packed Kebab...
