It's that time of the year again, the Snooker World Championships at The Crucible in Sheffield, aka my favourite sporting tournament of the year, so to celebrate here is a snooker-themed show for you all. Find within tracks about chalk, triangles, pockets, billiard players, big breaks, mid-session intervals, snooker referees, the baulk cushion, and the finest player to ever pick up a cue, Ronnie O'Sullivan. Bola, Shellac, Von Sudenfed, Half Man Half Biscuit, Samiyam, John Oswald, and Winifred Atwell among many others in here. For now though, c'mon Ronnie, don't let Ali Carter bore you into submission...

In this edition... Japanese thrash punk, old Angolan tribal folk, Norwegian disco, angry Zimbabwean highlife, a load of techno, Italian stuck groove nonsense, vintage Russian choral, funky blues, lots of weirdness, Malian garage, timeless gospel, Mancunian Jungle, and a no-wave Nancy Sinatra cover, with plenty more to boot. Unequivocally the best two hours of music you'll hear all week. It's well decent, enjoy x
