This week's show is now available via the iPlayer.

Ten thousand apologies for the lateness of this information. I've spent the last three days in bed wrestling my tonsils. I have no idea what day it is.

I'm having the kind of dreams that would have given inspiration for his fantastical poetry (why is Bethan Elfyn throwing cats at me?), but that just leave me feeling unsettled and brain sore. I haven't eaten a solid piece of food for four days. For the first time ever. I keep seeing bags of Frazzles on the horizon, but when I get close, salivating, they're bags filled with rusty razorblades and the bacon flavouring is unconvincing.

Fortunately the music contained in this week's show is a fine tonic and soundtrack to vivid hallucinations and throaty fed-uppitiness.

Amongst the more familiar troubadours are début plays for: QRed, Murda, Terror Cell, T T D, The Burning Ferns, Huw Haul, Deep J, Vodsel and Venus De Milo.

Please send demos / new releases / gig info and throat lozenges to: themysterytour@gmail.com (high quality .mp3's / download links), or via the Ö÷²¥´óÐã Introducing Uploader.

I recommend reading the blogs linked to below before submitting music. They offer some insight into what we're listening out for, and will help you avoid some of the more obvious pitfalls:

Given the mind-boggling amount of amazing music that we're received already this year (see stats below), this coming Sunday night's show (live from Bangor), will be a Best of 2011 So Far special. A great way to catch up with anything you may have missed.

894 unique songs, 1067 total, 540 artists in 25 shows since 1 January 2011, average 43 songs per show, average 22 unique artists per show, 94% Welsh music.

Tweet me or text me on 81012 (during the show, naturally).

Have an excellent week!
