On my show this month:
In what is a truly global extravaganza this month, our featured compilation is the second volume of the Guadaloupe-based Disques Debs International retrospective and there's a live excerpt from stunning Japanese band The Jungles!!!. Also from Japan, we've got something from the new OOIOO album and a track from yet another ace Thomas Imposter compilation. From Europe, we feature a track from the excellent new album from Dutch artist rOZZ, another new release from noisy Estonians Threes And Will, a demo from Eszeles from Budapest, something else from the wonderful album from France's Nursery and, as you might expect, a look ahead to the forthcoming new album from Madrid's Hinds.
We've got plenty of stuff from closer to home too, including a cracking brace of Welsh language releases from Adwaith and HMS Morris and joining them as show debutants are the feisty Cherokee Death Cats and the quirky Roman Angelos. Meanwhile, Sir Robert Orange Peel pays tribute to Sid Vicious in suitably arch manner, Consenting Adults pretend to be The Beatles and Tingle In The Netherlands deliver their own inimitable commentary on a much-discussed part of Gwyneth Paltrow's anatomy.

On the show NEXT month:
A session from The Firedogs is one of many highlights in this month's show, as are our two featured compilations, the always keenly anticipated annual extravaganza from With A Messy Head and a fundraising collection from Bearsuit in tribute to the late Mark Barton.
There's a whole load of great stuff coming in from Eastern Europe at the moment, including a new album from Poland's Nac/Hut Report, a storming live collection from compatriots Cisniesie, some exquisite Macedonian brass from Dzambo Agusevi Orchestra and a new album from The Mabon Dawud Republic from Hungary.
Add to this new releases from the likes of Zion Train, Samantha Crain and The Room In The Wood plus a look at three featured gems set to come our way on Record Store Day and suddenly the lockdown doesn't seem quite such an unappealing prospect, for three hours anyway.

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.
