On my show this month:
This month's two hours will shine light in the dark, give love where hate dominates and wave play on when your team is clearly offside. When all around you begin to falter these 120 minutes will give hope ... alright, alright, the overhyping doesn't come naturally to this show but playing great tunes does!
There are some absolute cracking new singles from My First Time, The Itch, Kiosk, Him & Earl and Prostitute. There are also brilliant tracks from upcoming LPs by Kim Gordon , Hollie Cook , The Violent Youth and Hiro Ama.
The LP of the month is from the wonderfully loud and shouty Bratakus and we keep up the noise levels with Middleman , Parcel Tape, Chat Pile , Hot Face and comfort . We also share some more subtle moments from Would-be-goods , Railcard , Lowmoon and Touch Girl Apple Blossom .
Plus as part of this show's celebration of the 20 years of Dandelion Radio, we raid the archives to see what Rocker was playing on his show in the early months of the station in 2006.
That sounds like a great way to escape the world for two hours!

Biography:
Like many teenagers in the late 70s and early 80s I was fascinated by the ever changing music and fashion culture of the UK. My interest sent me on a journey that has taken me through the usual places – weekly music papers,
grotty music venues, even grottier record shops, MySpace, late night radio and of course John Peel.
My only limitations on how much culture I could pick up through my adult life were the obvious ones – time and money. As friends and relatives got older, they got busy with other things and left the path, some never to
return. But I just kept on moving through a thankfully never-ending enlightenment that only music can bring you.
I have been known to do some DJing. Always voted in the Festive 50, both with Peel and more recently with Dandelion Radio. I tried to play a bass guitar and also a keyboard for a while. Being honest, buying and listening
to records was the only musical endeavour I was good with. Perhaps going to gigs as well!
After years of encouragement, I started onebighouse website.
A chance to share views on some bands, a chance to let people see what they are missing, and ideally a shot in the arm for some hardworking venues. A chance to send someone else on a lifetimes journey they can enjoy
