Nice S9 signal here.  Announcer with british accent.  David Bowie song from 1965 that I had never heard before (thanks!).
ID @0123 and into 'You're on by Mind' by The Birds (not the Byrds). Snail Mail addy (include a couple bucks), + email and ID at 0126z
"You'd Better Run" by Robert Plant (never heard this before either).

The theme is Songs before they got famous...

Thanks for the show!!!


P.S.  Kilokat - Shazam says the Space Odyssey remix was 'Also Sprach Zarathustra' by Deodato  (looks like it may have a utube video)....

First noted around 0105 UTC with that great remix of the 2001 Space Odyssey theme (I'd love to know who did this).  S5-S7 with Andy Walker, sounds like the same program heard and reported here recently.  Thanks Z!

Thanks refmo!  Found this too:

Respectable S9 signal here tonight, but a good amount of summer static crashes. British announcer with various pop tunes.
