On my show this month:
Plenty of great new tunes this month, as you'd expect, including tracks from new albums by Snapped Ankles , House Of All, Residents, McLusky and many more.
We've also got a taste of the forthcoming Samantha Crain and Black Country, New Road albums, plus something from the Analog Africa seventies Zimbabwe compilation, due out in May.
Our featured compilation this month is another excellent release from Punk 4 The Homeless, a reissue of a Stone Age album featuring punks from the UK, USA and Indonesia. We've also some Record Store Day Charlie Patton vinyl, new singles from Wales by Melys and Kikker , a fantastic new Dutch release from Klamp, German Dub from Ghost Dubs and, naturally, a whole lot more.
On the show NEXT month:
If you heard the tracks from the Awama Together compilation that featured in my show for FSK last month, you'll understand why I'm feeling an irresistible urge to play more of it in this month's Dandelion show. In addition to that, we've got tracks from the new albums by Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs , Dez Dare , Klamp and Adrian Crowley , among others.
There's also something from the recent Orbital RSD vinyl reissue, a couple of excellent Skep Wax singles, a Goat collaboration with MC Yallah , dub from Pitch Black and Dubussy and loads more.
Retrospectively, we Peel Back... to the sessions of May 1975, 1985 and 1995 and there's another RSD release in the form of a glorious vinyl reissue featuring the great Lightnin' Hopkins .

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 and a novel that is nothing at all to do with music ... called Balls. 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.
