On my show this month:
The Vanguardista label's 'Hope' compilation, released to raise funds for Bury Hospice, is our featured compilation this month: good music for a good cause. We've also got a couple of tracks from a new Happy People collection and there are tracks from new albums by Black Midi, Matt Sweeney and Bonnie 'Price' Billy and Dalmatian Rex & The Eigentones, among others.
There's something from the new Sorry EP, a track from the very fine Mojo magazine CD of Cure covers, another track from the fabulous Gabe is a Unit release, another new single from Bandicoot, Flore remixing Azu Tiwaline and a track from a new Ma Rainey retrospective.
Plus, it scarcely needs to be said, much much more.

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.
