On my show this month:
Robbed of a Green Man festival this year, the August show is a little different from normal but the absence of any festivities does at least allow us to focus on the extraordinary number of great new releases around at the moment. That would almost certainly include something from the new rOZZ album if we didn't have something better: an excellent debut session. There's also more from the incredible albums from Groupe RTD and Kill The Giants and we look forward with great anticipation to forthcoming releases from Bill Callahan and Idles.
Our featured album this month is another from the excellent Thomas Imposter label; there's also a lockdown-themed new single from the Neville Staple Band, a Kottarashky remix of the Dzambo Agusevi Orchestra, a cracking new single from Serbia's Gazorpazorp and a couple of tracks from the one-off lockdown compilation from Spain's EXP Records, plus of course our regular Peel Back.. feature and something from Porridge Radio just as a reminder of what we're missing (sniff) in the absence of their Green Man appearance.

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.
