Dandelion Radio

Gareth Jones
It's February and love is in the air. Well sod that. Here's 2 hours of absolutely no love songs!
Eclectic as usual, there's rap/hip-hop from The Good People

and Afro-Latin sounds from Yanga

. There's also experimental and arty electro from Cute Girls Doing Cute Things

, Pas Musique

, Grand Veymont

and even an electro track from They Might Be Giants

! Plus new garage-psyche-rock'n'roll tracks from The Chocolate Watch Band

, Weird Omen

and Snakerattlers. All this plus a brand new track by Glasgow lo-fi electro-punk-pop legends Bis

too!
This month's 'Secret Songs from the Sixties' come from The Tornadoes

and Lulu

who will be singing in four languages! There are also some secret songs from the Seventies because I'm playing 3 tracks from a new Cherry Red 3-CD box set of Junk Shop Glam obscurities called 'All The Young Droogs' featuring tracks by Hustler

, One Hit Wonders

and Steve Elgin

.
The 'Soundtracks of the Strange' come from the 1980 film 'Tusk' and a current puppet theatre play in Chicago called 'The Stranger and the Shadow'. And for the cover versions section, I've chosen covers of songs by artists who died in 2018. So there are songs originally by The Fall, Aretha Franklin, Chas Hodges (Chas & Dave) and Pete Shelley (The Buzzcocks).
So please be my valentine and join me for my February show.
