On my show this month:
Seems to be a lot of anger around in this month's show, all of it perfectly understandable and of course brilliantly channelled. There's a debut session from the wonderfully forthright Digital Resistance for a kick off and they're joined by, among other things, a powerful post-Brexit broadside from Flesh Eating Foundation and the another track from the rage-infused Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs album. Though less acerbic their approach, The Unthanks put the whole things beautifully into historical context.
There's a whole load of lockdown-inspired releases, including some brought-forward tunes from Ranil, Japanese dub from Chazbo, a superb track from the latest Shed Collective compilation from Macerator and a fundraiser EP from Jangly Mark & The Benefits.
Add to that a new Woog Riots single, a glimpse of the new Madonnatron album and a featured compilation from Berlin's Ekar and another three hours stuck indoors really doesn't seem such a bad prospect after all.

On the show NEXT month:
For the second time this year, The Jungles!!! feature in the show, this time with a recorded session to follow the excellent live extract we featured earlier in the year. There's also a featured compilation from France's La Souterraine label, one of many labels around the world who've certainly pulled their weight in easing any lockdown blues over the last few months.
We also have glimpses of new albums from Fontaines DC, The Wolfhounds Deerhoof and The Beths, a new EP from The Mauskovic Dance Band and soundtracks from Mogwai and Blanck Mass. There's also something from the annual compilation from Lithuania's Cold Tear label, a 1930s release from the Greek underground, some stunning Senegalese guitar from Tidiane Thiam and Tanya Donelly covering The Pixies, every bit as well as you might expect her to.
Retrospectively, we Peel back... to three featured recordings from forty years ago this month and of course pay tribute to the rich legacies left behind by Dave Greenfield, Florian Schneider and Little Richard.

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.
