On my show this month:
Although I'm not entirely averse to the appeals of Eurovision, the spread of artists from across the continent in this month's show is entirely coincidental. One of our featured compilations - Uneven Paths - showcases 'deviant pop' from across Europe In the eighties and early nineties. Three cracking releases from France - Chocolat Billy , Gratuit and Low Jack - jostle for space alongside Germany's Maugli, Death & Delirium from Austria, Hinds from Spain, Strict Nurse from The Netherlands and Estonia's Threes And Will .
A second featured compilation comes in the form of the latest in the 'Eccentric Soul' series from Numero Group and there are a couple of excellent new releases from the Owd Scrat, while other great new tunes come from The Scottish Enlightenment , Flesh Eating Foundation and Manfred Hamil , among others.

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. 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.
