On my show this month:
A lot of great releases are scheduled for the early months of 2020 including new albums by Islet, Cornershop, Squarepusher and Gums among others, plus a glimpse of what Skullfuck Jackson and Dementio13 have gone planned for us in 2020.
We also find room for a few releases that came out at the back end of 2019 and simply can't be ignored: these include fine EPs from Eekum Seekum, Monster Surprise and The Scottish Enlightenment and a cracking Somalian compilation.
Our featured compilation is out this month, though, and it's yet another in the remarkable series of releases from Thomas Imposter.
Meanwhile, Peel Back... features highlights from the Festive Fifty of 1999 and we speculate, rather uselessly, on what might have been in the festive fifty had such a thing existed fifty years ago.

Biography:
My music-related activities over the years have been restricted to such peripheral activities as running a venue and attempting to manage a band to putting together radio shows variously named The A-Z of Punk, Idiot Jukebox and The Diamond Mine as well as masquerading as The Phantom Surfer to produce The History of Surf Music and unintentionally controversial hour-long documentary Surfin' East Kilbride, all of which have made appearances on various community radio stations over the years.

I'm the author of a book on John Peel's Festive Fifty called, with great imagination, The Festive Fifty. I edited a fanzine called The Backdoor in the late eighties, fronted a band called The Beached Whales that never got round to gigging and played amplifier lead and slides with a band who'd rather I didn't make my association with them public. I have what I believe is a healthy contempt for music journalism (even when it's good) and believe the best way to start a band is to put four people who can't play in a room with some second hand instruments, don't feed 'em and don't let them out until they've produced something great. I've tried it on several occasions and no one's died yet.
