Mark Whitby

On my show this month:
This month, the brilliant Spidersleg stops by with an exclusive session, while show favourites are queuing up with new material, including tracks from forthcoming albums by White Hills, Xiu Xiu, Sam Amidon and The Pocket Gods plus a remarkable one-off swept up from the cutting room floor of Marissa Nadler.

Elsewhere, we get a remarkable sonic titbit from Mr Peppermint and tasty morsels are tossed from the freshly heaving tables of Th' Parish, Butter Fingers and firm favourites' The Chasms, who test fly their new garage soul offshoot project The Wrong. All this, and Peel Back & Sniff delves back over thirty years to relive one of the most memorable Peel Session moments in history.

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.
