| Neil Jenkins - January 2007 Neil Jenkins gives the new music a short rest during January while he celebrates Dandelion Radio's hosting of the Festive Fifty by looking back over the previous 30 years of that musical feast initiated and hosted by John Peel. He picks a favourite track from each year, some predictable perhaps, some not, and takes you on a temporal voyage from the very first Festive Fifty in 1976 to the last one held in John's absence in 2005. As you'll see, John may not have been with us at the end of the journey, but he wasn't forgotten. | |||||

| Rachael Neiman - January 2007 In January's 'Rachael Neiman Experience' we attempt to combat those post-Christmas blues with a fine selection of hand-picked musical gems! We have pristine London-based electropop from Arthur and Martha and Kate Nash, electronic madness from Northampton's Gordon Ramsey Project and Melbourne's sensational Toxic Lipstick, the unique vocal talents of Spinmaster Plantpot, dark pop from Teenagers, New York's Pretty Flowers and Holly from Angelica's new band the Lovely Eggs, the unique 1930's inspired sounds of The Hot Potato Syncopators, fabulous riot grrrl from London's Tits of Death, pure pop loveliness from Norwich's Master Solo, Coming Soon, Sweden's Lovekevins, Tesco Chainstore Mascara, Germany's Woog Riots, France's Milie Croche and the utter genius that is Ryan Hardy. Also features a very unusual leftover Christmas song from Adam and James and songs from our 3 featured albums, the Two Dogs and Various Artists tracks from the new Transformed Dreams compilation ' Ammelahoelehop', 3 tracks from the new free download compilation 'A Century of Fakers' released on Kirsten's Postcard Records from Italy featuring a selection of European indiepop bands covering Belle and Sebastian songs and 4 tracks from the superb new tweecore compilation 'Yay for Cuteness' released on Valiant Death Records. | |||||

| Rocker - January 2007 Rocker's January 2007 show is a three-hour epic, with the usual mix of what's currently doing it for/to him. There's a featured artist LP from Manhattan Love Suicides and also a featured compilation - the triple vinyl "Total7" set from the ultra-cool Kompakt label. The show includes two competitions, with CDs up for grabs by Loney, Dear. and Horowitz, as well as copies of C86 fanzine Iconoclastic Cardies, and tracks from Jokke Ilsøe; Hello, How Are You?; Tapper Zukie & the Musical Intimidators; Mr Ronz; James Zabiela on Charlie May vs Sasha; and of course the ubiquitous "many others" | |||||
