Thomas Blatchford

On my show this month:
It's the 7th anniversary of the Thomas show on Dandelion and there's plenty packed into this month's funtime hour, bookended by reminders to vote in the Festive Fifty. Two pop titans are trojan horsed into the show: Chappell Roan (hope you're well mate) and Avril Lavigne (happy belated birthday), although Sam Sailes is a rising star too.
If I had a bitcoin for every Peel Session from 2001 released on vinyl this quarter I'd have two bitcoin I've no idea what to do with, thanks to Saloon and Smog. Hott Sexx have invented a new game after finding Uno cards in the street while walking a dog, Midgee wish you harm, while Kissland are here for a short time AND a good time.
Lastly, for some reason your host claims to have not had a show on Dandelion in September, which is incorrect (got my months mixed up, sorry) - you can listen back to it anytime at dandelionradio.com

Biography:

Thomas Blatchford was born in Southampton (UK) but has now lived for over a decade in Birraranga (aka Melbourne, Australia). An avid listener to the John Peel show between 2000-2004 (first show: May 3rd 2000, with Kid Koala in session), Thomas tries to make up for the disappointment of never having a Peel session by always being in at least five bands simultaneously (which currently includes - genuinely - an acappella glam metal trio). Thomas previously ran the bedroom record label Fulsome Prism Recordings, and was also involved with another DIY imprint, Helen Llewelyn Product Nineteen, way back when. Thomas still occasionally makes fanzines even though it is no longer 1981, and works in a discount bookshop to make ends meet.
