Here is what is currently playing on Dandelion Radio
 Mark Whitby
After last month's festivities, we're back to what these shows are really about this month: digging out the best new tunes and playing them. Very much in that category are new albums from Osees , Boards Of Canada , Jon Spencer and Yard Act , plus a compilation from the Akenat label featuring great tunes from the Philippines.
There's also another single from My Best Unbeaten Brother , something else from the excellent Golden Kong EP, a remix of Isaac Chambers & Dub Princess and a preview of the forthcoming Arab Strap album . Aside from the new stuff, we've got something from the new Analog Africa compilation from Los Orientales De Paramonga and, of course, we Peel Back... to the month of July as it looked in 1976, 1986 and 1996.

Anak Bayan - Double Crosser
|  Anak Bayan ("Child of the land" in Tagalog*) was formed in Manila, Philippines in 1971 when former [a311854] drummer and vocalist [a1372300] came back from a seven-year stitch with the band in Japan where he discovered a lot of new, Western pop and rock. Back in Philippines, he decided over a couple of San Miguel with friend and colleague [a4749843] to form [a2324152]. Edmond didn’t stay long though, as it didn’t seem like the band was going to materialize (it eventually did and recorded its first album "Up in Arms" in 1971). Also, he longed to sing in his native Tagalog. Thus, he formed Anak Bayan with co-vocalist and guitarist Vic Naldo, Bing Labrador on keyboards, Alex Cruz on saxophone, Sonny Tolentino (son of National Artist for Sculpture Guillermo Tolentino) on bass, with himself on drums and vocals. Marlon Ilagan, brother of actor Jay, was also a part of that band playing bass. Anak Bayan became a regular in the Manila rock clubs like Reno’s, Romulus, Los Indios Bravos, and Flames.
