I have lots of great new stuff this month, including songs from Osees , Red Mass , Lucy Kruger & The Lost Boys , The Darts US , Caution, Choncy, Maria BC , Glauque 'n Cheap, Otay:onii , Upchuck, Conjunto Media Luna , Super Panela, Sukatani , JeGong , Jsee, Slow Crush , Baffes Ou Torgnoles, Tanya Tagaq , and Colleen . Plus a song from the dangerous world of mariachi music. Listen at your own risk. I try to keep my in-show talking to a minimum to make more room for music, but I do have more to discuss about what I play, so check out my companion show notes over at http://davidondandelion.blogspot.com. Enjoy the show! |

You'd be an April fool to miss Gareth's show this month because it's only one hour long! But it's still packed with new releases including quirky piano alt-pop from New York duo Frog and silly synths from this year's UK entrant for Eurovision; Look Mum No Computer . April's guest presenters are France-based Indiepop duo Special Friend who will be taking part in 'Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue' to coincide with the release of their new album 'Clipping', out now on the Skep Wax label. |

Tune in this month to hear which prized 6 inch singles I lost in a house move including one from John Peel's own Dandelion Records label our stations namesake. There is new music from Dog Chocolate , Pizza Hotline and MEMORIALS among others as well as an Aboriginal electronic banger from Crown and Country. Some Reform bashing is the order of the day for KRANTZ , Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq. and Eraserhead. The latter the legend behind the wonderful Microsoft Paint creations of Jim'll Paint It (no relation). The world may be falling apart one oil barrel at a time but at least we have some new music from Stereolab and Meridian Brothers to get us through the tough times. I even manage to squeeze the greatest The Fall track of all time in here using the excuse of a recent Cherry Red Records reissue but which one is it? |

Leo's April show slips between the cracks and hums in the margins, opening with the soft-focus spell of Katy J Pearson & H. Hawkline before lurching-grinning-into the sweaty absurdity of The Fat White Family live at Konk. From there, the mood fractures: The Twilight Sad 's anxious pulse gives way to PVA 's clipped cool and Mandy, Indiana 's shadowy insistence. There's a wiry backbone running through this set- Mclusky 's serrated snarl, The Nicked 's wiry post-punk twitch-offset by moments of strange clarity. Ulrika Spacek and Peter Evans stretch time and texture, while Noémi Büchi dissolves the body entirely. Elsewhere, Aldous Harding offers a crooked kind of grace before Thee Oh Sees kick the doors back open. We drift outward and inward in turns: Fever Ray 's haunted bloom, Blak Saagan 's narcotic haze, and the restless circuitry of 2D0GS. There's bite here too- Modeselektor 's blunt-force politics, Fontaines D.C. 's stark reimagining-before things loosen into jazz-damaged corners and curious miniatures. The final stretch feels like a slow exhale. From Kin'Gongolo Kiniata 's kinetic rhythms to Cinder Well 's dusk-lit folk, the show gathers warmth without losing its edge. Joshua Idehen brings us back to earth-domestic, human-before Natalie Wildgoose and Fauna carry us northward into something elemental and unresolved. |

Hope all is well out there. We are approaching 20 years of Dandelion Radio in June which is rather exciting. We all appreciate listeners, older, newer, avid or occasional. However you listen thank you very much for doing so and to whichever DJ on the station you check out :-) In my show this month there is something from Beak> bassist Billy Fuller 's solo project and dälek are back in the building with a new album. Something wonderful has appeared from Hen Ogledd who are a new band to me and Rødhåd has an absolute banger of a techno track. The The Womack Sisters are delivering an old skool sound in 2026, as is Jalen Ngonda , both tracks are fab. You can expect the usual meandering through the genres if that is your thing. |

Four hours from me this month because there's so much new music and quite a few artists who have been around for a while releasing very good new material. We start the show with The Conspiracy who have just released a new album on Metal Postcard and it is very good, but then again I would say that. One of my favourite new UK artists from the last 18 months is Elijah Minnelli , he's got a new ep out on his wonderfully monikered label, Breadminster County Council. His music that uses dub as a vehicle for exploring older English folk and popular song memories is for me the epitome of the type of music we should be playing here on Dandelion radio as we approach the station's 20th anniversary. Lots of new acts including Ozzie Hair, Computer Van Goth (great name), 300skullsandcounting, Camp Nowhere, Fake Mink, Swine Tax and many more. I'd really like to highlight new Australian indigenous artist, Bawuypawuy, Northern Territory meets Ibiza sundown ... just wow for me. Also, new releases from Lana Del Ray , Legless Trials , Kevin Morby , Royal Commission , Lighting Bolt who are as fierce as ever and even Morrissey whose prayer to Lester Bangs is actually rather good. Oldies from Psychic TV who I've just noticed popping up in unexpected places over the past couple of months and the ever wonderful and timeless The Staple Singers who I'd happily have send me to the afterlife, if I actually believed in it. |
 X-Ray Moon
This month X-Ray Moon celebrates sixty years since The Velvet Underground began recording material for their first seminal album: The Velvet Underground and Nico . X-Ray Moon tells a little of the story of the group and their influence, and as well as tracks by The Velvet Underground themselves he also plays several tracks by groups who have been influenced by The Velvet Underground to one extent or another, such as, Joy Division , Gang of Four and David Bowie ... This is a programme for those who know a lot about The Velvet Underground and for those who know nothing: this is 'The Velvet Underground Etcetera'. |
