On my show this month:
What happens when humans concentrate their energies on international cooperation rather than barriers? You get brilliant collaborations such as the Japanese-Colombian EP from Minyo Crusaders and Frente Cumbiero, or the Scottish-Italian crossover from The Alien Cormorant and Gold Mass, both of which feature in the show this month, as do Gooooose, from China, who teams up with Berlin-based DJ Scotch Egg (originally from Japan of course) and, also from Japan, Goofy18, who get together with England's Life As Surface Noise, with predictably stunning results.
We've also got a session this month from Kill The Giants and two featured compilations, from the [label}Houndstooth[/label] and House of Beauty labels, plus cracking new releases from the likes of Tobacco, Les Chouettes, Molchat Doma and Vert:x, plus a reactivated Indonesian split cassette release from 2017, a reissue of a Nigerian classic from Ofege and another in what's becoming an unmissable series of Crass remixes.

Biography:
My music-related activities over the years have been restricted to such peripheral activities as running a venue and attempting to manage a band to putting together radio shows variously named The A-Z of Punk, Idiot Jukebox and The Diamond Mine as well as masquerading as The Phantom Surfer to produce The History of Surf Music and unintentionally controversial hour-long documentary Surfin' East Kilbride, all of which have made appearances on various community radio stations over the years.

I'm the author of a book on John Peel's Festive Fifty called, with great imagination, The Festive Fifty. I edited a fanzine called The Backdoor in the late eighties, fronted a band called The Beached Whales that never got round to gigging and played amplifier lead and slides with a band who'd rather I didn't make my association with them public. I have what I believe is a healthy contempt for music journalism (even when it's good) and believe the best way to start a band is to put four people who can't play in a room with some second hand instruments, don't feed 'em and don't let them out until they've produced something great. I've tried it on several occasions and no one's died yet.
