On my show this month:
The excellent Get The Fuck Outta Dodge are our session guests for this first show of the new year which, as usual, looks ahead with considerable enthusiasm to what's in store for us in the early months of 2022. That includes a featured compilation in the form of the latest Thomas Imposter Joy of Six offering as well as tracks from new albums by the likes of Cat Power, Yard Act, The Wave Pictures, Bob Vylan and Vonamor.
Naturally, we don't ignore some excellent releases that snuck out towards the end of 2021, especially as the category includes such delights as the Lisa Pung album, Jay Glass Dubs remixing Laura Agnusdei and a couple of tracks from a cracking Ghanaian compilation courtesy of Analog Africa.
In addition, of course, this being the month of the festive fifty broadcast, our Peel Back... section features three highlights from the chart of twenty years ago.

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.
