On my show this month:
With Edgars Lisp in session and tracks from new albums by Method of Defiance, Dubkasm and Pissed Jeans July was always going to be a particularly fine month for music.
And it wasn't hard to find other fine stuff in the shape the Clark Kunt remix of Micachu & the Shapes, albums from Pantie Hamster, My Odd Gong and Battlehooch, plus a preview of the forthcoming Radio Arabia EP and Anonymous Bosch album.
This month's Peel Back & Sniff takes in snippets from the formidable back catalogues of Spirit and Procul Harum and
Mark lets us into one of his secret passions with a hearty dollop of Western Swing on 78. And the lazy get finally gets round to playing a track from that amazing Crocodiles album. About time too.

Biography:
My music-related activities over the years have been resticted 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.
