| Kevin Robinson - January 2014 This month sees not only the first programme of 2014, but my very first show for Dandelion Radio. I have a few leftovers from 2013 to share with you and a selection of releases that arrived over the festive period, including tracks from the new albums by Shopping, The New Sound Of Numbers, and Blanche Blanche Blanche. Also included for January, the "Throbbing Gristle meets Eddie Cochran" wall of noise of Girl One And The Grease Guns, Poland's finest reggae dubstep export Radikal Guru, the relentless, primitive "thug pop" of Brooklyn's The Pampers, a haunting rendition of an old Peel favourite by The Space Lady, an oddity from yet another Lee Perry compilation from Althea and Donna, a Peel Session number from over 30 years ago by Eek-A-Mouse, plus a punishing track lifted from the latest extraordinary release by Demdike Stare. Oh, there's also a new song by The Fall group from Manchester. You may have heard of them. | ||||

| Mark Cunliffe - January 2014 So, it's January and what notable things have happened in January's past? On 4th Jan 1809 Louis Braille was born. On the 14th in 1986 UK motorists were required by law to wear seat belts and Income Tax was first introduced in the UK on 14th Jan 1799. What am I bang up-to-date with on my show this month then? Grey Hairs are cock-a-hoop which has sent Tom Dice to be like Humpty Dumpty. The Fucktrots are in possession on a nice Camberwell Carrot which DJ Rashad is going to give you a lesson on. There is a truly wicked session from Cheap Jazz and not one but TWO featured albums from EmptySet and Mazes. | ||||

| Mark Whitby - January 2014 Great new tunes are flying out of the blocks already in this new year and we attempt to feature as many of the best of them as possible, including January releases from Mogwai. Adrian Raso & Fanfare Ciocarlia, Gyratory System and Shy Boys, among others, plus a glimpse of what's around the corner in February, with a little help from Laibach, The Notwist and Yashi. Plus we've got a great exclusive session from Superman Revenge Squad Band in there too. Of course, we don't forget the many delights that made their way into their lives at the end of 2013 either, especially as they included new releases from Ballboy, The Fall and Guerilla Toss plus a couple of French crackers from Papaye and Drive With A Dead Girl. Meanwhile, Extradition Order, Lee Negin and The Drop tease us with taster releases from forthcoming albums and there are tracks from yet another excellent compilation from Australia's Feral Media label, As usual at this time of year, we Peel Back... to the Festive Fifty of ten years ago while pausing briefly to speculate on what might have appeared in a Festive Fifty forty years ago, had such a thing existed. | ||||

| Pete Jackson - January 2014 Pete kicks off 2014 in style with a brand new session from Lord Numb covering some of the music that's made him the man he is today (yes, there's a Bowie track, but oh so much more, including a once-heard-never-forgotten song first heard on an Eighties Peel show). There's new and re-issued tunes from across time and space, with San Francisco being heavily represented by albums released in 1968 and 2013 alongside punk gems, awesome 70's psychedelic rock from Zambia and a larger than usual dollop of dub. There's also a tipped cap to the recently departed Junior Murvin and Lou Reed and the traditional revisiting of 2013's best session tracks - this year including Sandfingers, Black Twig Pickers and Manwel T. | ||||

| Rocker - January 2014 A packed three hour show - including a featured album from Candy Twist Records, and new tracks from The Wolfhounds; Flowers; Slum Of Legs; The Jet Age; The Proper Ornaments; CTMF; Sock Puppets; The Wednesday Club; Dutch Barn; Caves; Fireworks; Flowers; and Supersuckers. There's electronica from Monkey Safari; Ame; and Cuebur remixed by Shlomi Aber - also there's a track from the current Burial 12" which is astounding as always - and there's also an amazing remix by The Pachanga Boys of a track from Australian band Jagwar Ma. The Manhattan Love Suicides make an unexpected but very welcome return with a stunning taster track from a forthcoming album, and their bass player Adam has been busy, also featuring as he does on tracks from T.O.Y.S and The Wednesday Club. This month's Educating Elizabeth record is a wonderfully poignant soul 7" from 1965, while this month's Peel's Big 45 is a little known side project of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band, from 1980. As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: There are currently only two doubly landlocked countries in the world (countries with no sea coastline surrounded by countries which themselves have no sea coastline): Liechtenstein and Uzbekistan. | ||||

| Sean Hocking - January 2014 Well it's another year and if 2013 is anything to go by we are going to be drowned in new music this year. This show is somewhat LA heavy as I spent a few days there in December soaking up the music scene old and new. Took the other half to see her favourite bands who'd all got together to raise money for music for public schools in the USA as it is no longer part of the curriculum there ... yes beyond bizarre isn't it? We saw the players in the 1980's Paisley Underground scene including the Three O Clock, The Rain Parade and The Bangles (who were surprisingly good). It's nice to remember when real bands played pop songs and the real discovery for me were the Dream Syndicate, a great alt rock band who are well worth re-discovering; and for the singalong at the end they even brought on a now rather ancient Rodney Bingenheimer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodney_Bingenheimer) The Mayor of Sunset Strip. If you find his name unfamiliar have a read about him on Wikipedia and you will be amazed by the effect he's had on music and musicians over the years. Whilst in LA I also met up with the guys who run one of the best labels on the planet at the moment. Burger Records out of Anaheim and only a short distance from the original Disneyland. They specialise in producing wonderfully scuzzy pop punk gems from Southern California and beyond . With nigh on 600 releases now under their belt I'll be dedicating a hour long special to the label in 2014 but in the meantime I've included songs by the likes of The Memories, Cherry Glazerr, Apache, The Resonars and others to pique your interest. In the show I've also included a few highlights from one of the 1980's (and through to today) finest record labels, Flying Nun Records from New Zealand. I'm noticing more and more acts, and especially American ones, are paying homage to the great bands on the label such as the magnificent Clean, Chills, Tall Dwarves and the Bats who I remember seeing in a run down cinema in Sydney in the mid eighties and I also remember the daze I walked around in for about a week after seeing them! Also in the show new tunes from China based Gui Gui Sui Sui and his raw blues played on a skateboard fashioned into a guitar, I kid you not. Also something remixed and something new from London's Das Fluff as well as a few other goodies. Thanks as always for listening to Ring Of Fire. We'll be back next month with new goodies from you. And if you're a White Fang fan in the UK or mainland Europe ... keep your ears and eyes open they are heading your way very soon. | ||||
