On my show this month:
This month on X-Ray Moon’s show ... The Space Lady sings Major Tom; The Surrealist Temple Band sing about International Women's Day; Rowland S. Howard recounts his thoughts on Dead Radio; and, Abschaum tell us about the Demon at the Door. There are new songs by Fontaines D.C. ; The Bug Club ; New Model Army ; Folly Group ; The The ; and, among others, Bonny Light Horseman . Plus there are some rather intriguing 'long-since-forgottens' from Gil Scott Heron; Frieder Butzmann ; The Ex with Brader Musiki; and, Genesis P-Orridge . Once again X-Ray Moon provides us with what he hopes is an enjoyable, interesting, and quirky blend of new and old, mainly new, tracks – that, he hopes, will introduce the listener to sounds and groups they may not have come across before as well as being reminded of old favourites that really should be plonked down on the turntable once again. X-Ray hopes everyone enjoys the show!
On the show NEXT month:
A show by X-Ray Moon to enable listeners to open their windows wide and enjoy the sounds that will hopefully make up a very small amount for the lack of sun (at least here in the UK as this show is being put together) ... but X-Ray Moon hopes everybody enjoys his show wherever they happen to be. This month there are new tracks by The Albinos ; Thee Oh Sees ; and a June release track from Memorials and some oldies such as Leather Nun ; and, Pigface and loads more. X-Ray Moon hopes everyone enjoys his August show ...

Biography:
Music both old and new. My tendency has always been to be attracted to the 'different', the other, the subversive… something that in one way or another challenges authority or orthodoxy and somehow attempts to shape wider society. Whether that be Punk, two-tone, Krautrock, Rai… etc.
In addition to that though I quite simply enjoy discovering the new, the different and the strange. Sounds, voices and atmospheres from around this small globe we call home are what excite me...
Over the years I have lived in many different countries, and wherever I was John Peel was the background, for many years, that aurally lit-up my adventures. He so perfectly reminded us that the quality, importance and worth of something has nothing to do with its 'popularity', and more to do with how it breaks down barriers and makes the complacent feel uncomfortable. How music at its best can be so much more than just a wallpaper-friendly pop song. So, then, eternal thanks to John Peel, who helped mould many of us…
Plus, thanks for listening. It is a great pleasure and joy to bring these shows to you; I hope you enjoy what you hear.
