On my show this month:
This month, our insatiable quest for the best new music of 2019 takes us, among other places, to Uganda, with another fine release from the Nyege Nyege Tapes label, on to Mexico, where we find the new album from Regal 86, and back across the Atlantic to Senegal, for a timely Sourakata Koite reissue, stopping off on the way to take in tracks from a couple of live sets from France's La Souterraine and The Skiperdees, from the United States.
A couple of cracking new releases from the Armellodie label make an appearance - a new single from Yip Man of Scotland and an EP from Bloke Music which is a available in both download and spanner (yes, spanner) formats.
There are a number of appearances from established show favourites, with more from that EP from Bernays Propaganda and the new James Yorkston; we have a new single from The Pocket Gods and Macerator remixes Diane Marie Kloba with, not for the first time, spectacular results.
Our featured compilation comes from the Seagrave label and this month's Peel Back... features delves into the Peel Session archives to emerge with tracks first broadcast in February 1969, 1979 and 1989.

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.
