You'd be mad as a hare to miss Gareth's March show which features a special tribute to Burt Bacharach with a selection of 8 classic Bacharach & David songs reinterpreted by Indie and Punk artists. This month's guest taking part in 'Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue' is fuzzy garage-rock-punk artist Dez Dare to coincide with the release of his third album 'Perseus War' (released 17th March). There are two obscure Salsa tracks in 'Secret Songs from the Sixties', plus new releases ranging from the Riot Grrrl noise of Lambrini Girls to the gentle Indiepop of The Hepburns and the haunting electro sounds of Flange Circus. |

Well. What can I say? My February show was intended to be a one off but I've now done a March one. It wasn't due to an outpouring of listener rejoyfullness at my return but I kinda liked doing it and, with a bit of encouragement, have done one for March. There is a Prodigy track given an Amapiano workout and Spice is given a desi flavour. There's new stuff from Mallard The Wonderdog, Sumgii and Phibes . It's the usual mix of stuff to be honest. |

It's been great to hear from several show favourites who've been in touch recently - and you can hear new and forthcoming releases from The Sinatra Test , Novelistme, Dez Dare Manwel T and Snakeskin Shoe Review this month. There's also a shamelessly retrospective element to the show. Alongside the usual Peel Back... feature, we've got some reissued New Order and the Ace album '1980-1982 The Art of Things to Come' as our featured compilation. But the main emphasis, as is customary, is on the new and in that spirit we present new tunes from Penfriend , Pama International and Harmonious Thelonius, among, of course, many others. |

It's March and it's Bottom of the Pops chock with plenty of unknown unknowns in this month's 4 hour show. I hardly even had time for dead rockstars although I have had to squeeze in Mr Verlaine & Mr Bacharach as both can't simply be ignored. Anyway what have we got for you this month. Some recent Jamaican Dancehall releases dotted throughout the show as it appears that Jamaican authorities haven't been overly happy with the subject matter of many new tunes, put simply, drugs and guns. So they have done their best to get broadcasters not to play the songs. As far as I can work out most of the songs now coming out just reflect what's happening in societies so I'm not sure what the big fuss is about. Keep an ear out for Skillibeng & Kraff. First time acts on the show include Jean Mignon (NY), The Postmen (Southampton), Meadow Argus (Queensland), Tee Tee Repairman (Sydney), Kalle Hygiene (Sweden) and Gurry Wurry (Glasgow). Great new tunes from oldies include something from Robert Forster 's new album (in my book as good as anything the Go-Betweens did - and that's a big ask!), Django Django , Rose City Band (ex Wooden Shijps), Mozart Estate (actually Laurence of Felt) and Steve Mason has a new one out too. Coming out of Leftfield we have James Last (yes that James Last!) covering Marvin Gaye and it's surprisingly good. US Virgin Islands act The Lashing Dogs whose songs may sound as sweet as pie but the lyrics point out some painful political truths not just applicable to the US Virgin Island but all over our teetering planet. Lots lots more. Enjoy and thank you for listening. |
