On my show this month:
It's been great to hear from several show favourites who've been in touch recently - and you can hear new and forthcoming releases from The Sinatra Test , Novelistme, Dez Dare Manwel T and Snakeskin Shoe Review this month.
There's also a shamelessly retrospective element to the show. Alongside the usual Peel Back... feature, we've got some reissued New Order and the Ace album '1980-1982 The Art of Things to Come' as our featured compilation.
But the main emphasis, as is customary, is on the new and in that spirit we present new tunes from Penfriend , Pama International and Harmonious Thelonius, among, of course, many others.
On the show NEXT month:
Mark Whitby is struggling to decide whether his favourite album so far in 2023 is from Nac/Hut Report or Shame. Apart from the unseemly amount of time he spends exercising his own mind with this, it's hardly significant as there's plenty of room in his show for both, along with many other of the best the year has had to offer so far, including Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs , Neon Kittens, Orbital and Deerhoof , among others.
The featured compilation this month comes from the Kalita, with some fine recordings from West Africa; there's another new track from The Sinatra Test, a reissue from Horace Andy and a single from Zoom Unit scattered across the show, plus something new from Stefan Dowsing an artist who last appeared in these shows more over 15 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.
