This week's show is now available via the BBC iPlayer. Please listen again any time between now and the start of the next programme.
At what age are you supposed to stop celebrating your birthday?
I missed the memo.
This week's show is - therefore - somewhat coloured by the close proximity of my birthday (the night previous). Fortunately the excellence of the new Welsh music contained therein ameliorates rum-fumed witter and rambles.
For example, we have two tracks from Future Of The Left's forthcoming EP Love Songs For Our Husbands - which you can pre-order now. They're a freshly cooked, super-spiced, authentic Himalayan curry in a world of humdrum, after hours, ghee-saturated reheats.
Lead track - The Male Gaze - has a riff so mighty, it should be wearing a cape and more sing-a-long-ability than Max Bygraves' karaoke robot army.
I snuck another track off the EP into the show right at the end - and, due to not having included it in my painstakingly prepared show notes, I got the title wrong. I've been self-flagellating ever since. It's been kind of fun.
In other news, we have debut plays for Straight Jacket Legends, Estrons, Blues Church, Dr Landstrom's Virus, Rosie Smith, Huw Costin, Za Sonic, Set Aside, Human Is and Tidal.
Please send music direct as a download link to: themysterytour@gmail.com or via the BBC Introducing Uploader.
It's also worth underlining that this week sees the release of Short and Curlies' debut album At The Dance. It's an unpredictable and wonder-filled long player, shaped in the moment by Euros & Megan Childs, Sweet Baboo, H. Hawkline, Laura J. Martin and R. Seiliog. Bees love it. And bees rule.
Elsewhere Huw Williams talks about the Welsh protest song and Ben 'Soundhog' Hayes eulogises the rest of Free's back catalogue that isn't All Right Now'.
I'm off hunting sunburn.
