On my show this month:
There are six hours from Leo this month - split across two shows.
Leo's first show for July begins, as all respectable cultural enterprises should, with a song called "No One Will Fuck Me When I Wear Two Different Shoes (One Jordan, One Gucci Flip Flop)" by The Femcels, before immediately attempting to regain dignity via The Leaf Library , Hora Lunga, HYPER GAL and Carla dal Forno . The effort is only partially successful.
Elsewhere, Mt. Gemini gets comfortably altered, ATFK gets remixed by Me Lost Me, and upsammy & Valentina Magaletti remind us that everything eventually ends, a theme enthusiastically expanded upon by Meitei , A Place to Bury Strangers and De Ambassade, who have apparently seen the news.
There are doors to bodies, chlorine fumes, living people, and a version of "Karma Police" courtesy of cumgirl8 , because reality no longer has meaningful guardrails. Crack Cloud offers a Safe Room, though unnamed singers from Namibia immediately ask a question that nobody wanted to answer.
Later, Sleaford Mods and Aldous Harding arrive via a Prodigy acid storm, mary in the junkyard crash-lands, 33 & Olan Monk assess the state of things, and Model/Actriz stares uncomfortably through the glass.
The closing stretch brings doves, pigeons, moon-watching, gunslingers, giraffes, atmospheric vandalism and a dead-end street courtesy of Tafese Tesfaye , MEMORIALS , Gilla Band , Greg Saunier and Zoh Amba .
As ever, no promises are made regarding coherence.

Biography:
I am in many ways your typical John Peel fan. I grew up listening to his shows from the era of punk rock until his death, and, with increasing obsessiveness, compiled cassettes, mini discs and finally mp3 playlists of the best tunes. Music runs through my family’s veins, and in me this takes the form of a compulsive search for new sounds. As John Peel used to put it, what I really want to hear is something I haven’t heard before.
Envy fills me when I read what my Dandelion collaborators have achieved in promoting, making and playing music, but my life as a teacher for the past quarter of a century has squeezed out any time for, well, pretty much anything apart from listening to and appreciating what continues to be made musically across the world. At last, though, I have found the space to pursue what has long been an ambition and can attempt to meet the stellar broadcasting standards set by my volunteer colleagues by sharing my love of new music with Dandelion listeners. I really hope at least some of what you hear gets its hooks into you.
