Lee Adcock - August 2017
In prior years, I've often framed this month's synopsis in the whole "back-to-school" schtick appropriate for this time of year. However, with the advance of Athens Popfest and my first trip to Knoxville (for another gig, of course - go on, guess who) looming on my ledger this August, the old frame seemed inadequate. Indeed, any frame won't capture this exact frame of mind, which is - where? Maybe stuck somewhere in the middle of Dennis Callaci's sprawling tone poem, trying to discern the environs; or maybe on the sidelines of the dance floor, watching Moon King and Annie Hart work their magic. Or maybe I'm down in the trenches with Priests and Dasher, hiding from hostile forces. No, no, not that. Well, am I floating in the clouds with Frankie Rose or (Sandy) Alex G? Or, no, higher - could I be up in the stars with Le Fruit Vert and Cathode Ray Eyes? No, definitely not. This real state I'm in, I'd place it between the blunt force of Deafcult and the humble ramblings of CHUCK - that is, in an abstract killing spree, but way too self-conscious to feel any pride from the conquest.
(Also featured in this episode of "Lee's Existential Crisis": back room curios from Melvins and Graham Dunning, an 8-minute odyssey of percussion with the Secret Drum Band, and highlights from the homebase from Hand Sand Hands and Small Reactions.)

Mark Whitby - August 2017
We've got a truly special session in the show this month, featuring the always remarkable Cuban Boys, plus special guests they've roped in to re-work tracks from their recent album. The results are, I can confidently claim, truly unique and wonderful, even by their very high standards.
As it's August, I'm off to the Green Man festival later in the month so I'll be playing some of the anticipated highlights of this year's festival, including tracks from The Oh Sees, Hinds, Moddi and Madonnatron among others. There's also a Green Man-themed Peel Back..., plus an extra, extended Peel Back... to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of John Peel's final Perfumed Garden show, which aired in all its five-hour glory this month back in 1967. We also find time to cram in three tracks from this month's featured compilation - three glorious soul tunes from yet another wonderful album from the very reliable Soul Jazz.
And of course there's the usual bunch of new, recent and forthcoming releases, including a track from the new Baker Island album, something from what is sadly going to be the last album from Chuck, a truly extraordinary remix of a Diane Marie Kloba tune and something new - and, as you'd expect, very noisy - from Estonia's Threes And Will.

Pete Jackson - August 2017
There's a number of new tunes from very established artsists this month, expect to be astonished by the likes of Public Enemy, The Wedding Present, Cornershop, The Telescopes, Laibach and I, Ludicrous alongside slightly newer bucks such as Feorm, Violent Pacifists, Manwel T and Labasheeda among many others.
As usual there's a good geographical range, from South Carolina to Zambia, Germany to Mali, though Manchester may be slightly over-represented thanks to a great new compilation of independent music from the city's history.
