On my show this month:
An hour from Rocker to start the year, including new tracks from Wild Billy Childish & CTMF; Crabber ; Cabiin; The Lovely Basement ; The Just Joans ; The Charlie Tipper Rebellion; and Lande Hekt .
There's electronica from Aalson; Prolapse are remixed by Faust ; there are new tracks from both T.Rex and Swell Maps - the former recorded in 1975 and newly mixed for release, the latter from a recently recorded forthcoming album.
This month's Rocker's Shellac Attack is from 1945 out of California, while this month's Educating Elizabeth record is played to mark the passing of guitarist Steve Cropper.
As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: The Stax record label took its name from the surnames of its founders - Jim Stewart and Estelle Axton.

Biography:
I am proud to be a DJ for dandelionradio.com - as far as we know we are the only radio station inspired by John Peel - I was a Peel listener from 1976 to 2004 and it was his open minded attutude to different genres that has shaped my own tastes. It is a great buzz to be carrying on the great man's work and bringing previously unknown artists to the attention of our listeners.
As well as my radio DJing I have been known to drag my crates around the UK - I currently hold DJ residencies at monthly indiepop nights Sunny Inside Presents in Stoke-on-Trent and Big Pink Cake in Bristol, as well as co-promoting and DJing at Bristol's monthly vinyl-only Northern Soul night, Getting Together. I have also appeared as guest DJ at some of London's finest indie nights: Twee As Fuck; How Does It Feel To Be Loved; Lost Music Presents; and Scared To Dance.
I run eclectic CD-R label Local Underground, and am promoter and resident DJ for related gigs & events as Local Underground Presents. I also play out a progressive house set as B_Man - you can download some old mixes here. In the Bristol, UK area I have DJd for Manna parties as well as Empathy, and Voodoo nights. My ambient / chillout / dub reggae / punk / soundtracks / psychedelia sets are also much in demand in certain (crop) circles. Over the years I have also been known to play keyboards / drums in various ensembles. I record most of the bands' sessions for my show in my recording studio, StAR Studios, which, like me, has a busy schedule!
You can find me on MySpace here, and on Facebook here!
