On my show this month:
In celebration of the 2010 World Cup July's show is a show of two halves. The second half of the show is a celebration of all things off the map. This includes a survey of the releases of the ground breaking American record label, and home of important and intriguing reissues, De Stijl. Here you will have to chance to win two tasty pieces of De Stijl vinyl in a competition. In this second half you will also hear the results of an invitation project involving members of the Apskaft group of artists. Apskaftians were invited the submit new three minute tracks on the theme "Pop Music"; the results of this are both challenging, fascinating and diverse. The first half of the show, rather than being the cautious stand off we have become used to from the current world cup, is instead an exiting collection of contradictory and diverse music. We have superb exclusive live sessions from both Jash and The Playground Mafia. Plus a new track from 2nd Mouse and music from Gordon and Gunn. So much music that I inevitably ran out of time. Thanks again to The Playground Mafia, Jash, De Stijl and the Apskaftians.
Biography:
My name is Greg Healey. I'm a musician, visual artist, writer and net-radio presenter living in Cornwall. My music is released under the name HealeyIsland on Ann Shenton and Marc Hunter's White Label Music record label. I present a weekly radio show called Analogue Island, which focuses on the best in independent music, regardless of style or genre. This can be heard on Penwith Radio, which broadcasts online out of Cornwall. I also review music for net audio magazine The Phlow and Seattle based independent music and culture magazine Redefine.
It doesn't seem that long ago that I was listening to Dandelion Radio and admiring what the station does from afar. So, it's an honour to now be part of it.
Much further back in time, my relationship with distinctive, unusual and challenging music began, when I was about 13 years old, listening to John Peel in the dark with headphones on.
