Here is what is currently playing on Dandelion Radio
 East Germany Etcetera
This month X-Ray Moon has decided to give a nod to the two anniversaries of, on the one hand the creation of East Germany in 1949, and hence it is their 75th anniversary this year; and on the other hand, it is the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Having lived in Berlin, he wanted to doff his imaginary Punk hat to the people who he became very fond of, and who made him very welcome in their city and in their former East Germany.
X-Ray Moon wanted to celebrate a moment that is important for European history and remind people that the 'Ossies' made good music too (sometimes).
We have some Punk, with the likes of Feeling B and Nina Hagen , for example; some Experimental music with, AG Geige , there is also a little East German Jazz, with Manfred-Ludwig Sextett , and there is some Ska.
So then, for one time only X-Ray Moon hopes you enjoy – both in musical terms and as an intriguing gesture towards a country and a culture that no longer exists – EAST GERMANY ETCETERA.
