On my show this month:
Max Blansjaar is the session guest for this month's show and there's a featured compilation from Skep Wax with a second instalment of the Under The Bridge series that manages, to these ears anyway, to be even better than the first. As always, we've also got a whole load of new releases including tracks from albums by Bob Vylan, Blakk Rasta and Pye Corner Audio, singles from Novelistme and Cumgirl8, something from the new Long Hat Pins EP plus EP tracks from Pigmaliao and Akriza & Peace Sine and a David Holmes remix of Orbital. Again, there's so much great new stuff about that there's little time for anything retrospective, though we do have our usual Peel Back... featuring tunes that appeared in session on the John Peel show twenty, thirty and forty years ago this month.

Biography:
My music-related activities over the years have been restricted to such peripheral activities as running a venue and attempting to manage a band to putting together radio shows variously named The A-Z of Punk, Idiot Jukebox and The Diamond Mine as well as masquerading as The Phantom Surfer to produce The History of Surf Music and unintentionally controversial hour-long documentary Surfin' East Kilbride, all of which have made appearances on various community radio stations over the years.
I'm the author of a book on John Peel's Festive Fifty called, with great imagination, The Festive Fifty and a novel that is nothing at all to do with music ... called Balls. I edited a fanzine called The Backdoor in the late eighties, fronted a band called The Beached Whales that never got round to gigging and played amplifier lead and slides with a band who'd rather I didn't make my association with them public. I have what I believe is a healthy contempt for music journalism (even when it's good) and believe the best way to start a band is to put four people who can't play in a room with some second hand instruments, don't feed 'em and don't let them out until they've produced something great. I've tried it on several occasions and no one's died yet.
