On my show this month:
Still without a copy of the new Gonjasufi album at the time of recording the show, I decided the only thing for it was to make the best damn Gonjasufi-less radio show possible. This effort was aided considerably by a session mix from Dementio13 and bolstered by new releases from the likes of Venetian Snares, Pindar's Apes and Black Dice.
From right across Europe came reinforcements to aid us in our quest, including tunes from Zabo T from Portugal, Switzerland's Argot Digamma, Belgium's Mumbai Science, Italy's Dziga remixing France's Guitoud with predictably stunning results and a couple of old but certainly far from jaded Hungarian tracks from Pajaro and Street Violence. News of our plight reached the southern hemisphere, the result a double feature of Metal Postcard releases courtesy of Australians Worng and Ollo and a further Antipodean brace from Feral Media's excellent Hinterlandt-inspired compilation.
From rather closer to home, for me anyway, get acquainted with show favourite-elect Long Hat Pins from Salford and bathe further in the glory of the magnificent Snailhead while sampling a melodic gem from Liverpool's Tear Talk and marvelling at the results of the rather wonderful Churn Milk Joan collaboration. Throw in a few more blinders from the Abaga, Bleeding Gold and Melting Records labels, add loads more I don't have space to mention, and you forget what it was you were missing in the first place. Until next month, anyway.

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.
