Andy's October show features an hour of great new music from The Micronaut, Kety Fusco, Simon Heartfield, Tracey, Blood Orange, Black Honey, R. Missing and more. In last month's Arab Strap special, Aidan Moffat and Malcolm Middleton mentioned a forthcoming digital and double vinyl release of 'Philophobia Undressed', a partially acoustic live recording marking the 25th anniversary of the original album. It was released at the start of September, and you'll hear a track from it in this month's show.

Greetings! This month we pay our respects to three more artists we recently lost: Bruce Loose of Flipper, Mark Volman of The Turtles and Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention, and Jim Kimball of Laughing Hyenas.
I have new tracks from Sexores, Pete Power, BRNDA, Láz, Dana, Allarme, Chini.png, Bleak squad, Dragnet, 10 Juin, Shagg Carpet, R.M.F.C., Pearly*, and more.
I almost forgot about Halloween, but I have a great Misfits tune at the very end.
I try to keep my in-show talking to a minimum to make more room for music, but I do have more to discuss about what I play, so check out my companion show notes over at https://davidondandelion.blogspot.com.
Enjoy the show!

The first hour of Gareth's October promises to be a Halloween spooktacular. There's a terrifying tune from surf guitar ghoul band The Surfrajettes and two scary rarities produced by Joe Meek for 'Secret Songs from the Sixties'.
Plus guest hosts Rex Broome and Christina Bulbenko from Big Stir Records introduce three eerie anthems from their new compilation album 'Chilling, Thrilling Hooks And Haunted Harmonies'.
Meanwhile the second hour promises to be a Halloween free-zone with plenty of new releases, including very short songs from BB Bomb and a long song from Cardiacs. So join Gareth for two hours of musical tricks and treats.

Buckle up for a wild ride across genres, moods, and worlds in this month's show — a mix designed to keep you guessing from the very first note.
We kick off with the jagged post-punk energy of Prolapse before drifting into Petridisch's delicate dreamscape and Burial's shadowy Imaginary Festival. Two Shell and Silver Biplanes bring the sparkle and bounce, while Akira Umeda & Metal Preyers steer us into stranger, heavier waters. The journey keeps shifting gears: Panopticon's The Eulogy feels like a hymn for lost souls, Hand To Earth channel deep roots with Bush Honey (guku), and Poppy H & Moe Moussa lighten the air with the delightfully odd Loaf of Bread.
From desert-blues grooves (TAKAAT) to art-pop bite (Water From Your Eyes, Gretel) and claire rousay's hushed collaboration with M Sage, every turn reveals a new landscape. Things get spikier with BIG SPECIAL's ferocious JUDAS SONG and Public Enemy's razor-sharp Siick, while Anna von Hausswolff's Stardust and a sweeping Rachmaninov concerto open up vast cinematic skies. Just when you think you've found the rhythm, Blawan's NOS and Joy Orbison's play it again yank you back to the club floor.
We close with fireworks: DJ Shadow rewinds the night, Thee Oh Sees thrash through FIGHT SIMULATOR, Admiral Fallow and Sublux tug on the heart, and People Like Us sign off with a wink in Guide to Broadcasting. It's eclectic, unpredictable, and impossible to sit still through - exactly how a radio show should be.

So much going on in the world, difficult to escape from. Music is one of my escapes but even that isn't always doing the trick such is the calamitous nature of world affairs these days.
So, where can we try and slink off to for October? A featured album from Homeboy Sandman & SonnyJim is the order of the .... month. Jawbone is beefing about Tesla and The People Who Run The Country are railing against .... well .... a lot of things!
There is a Deerhoof track remixed by This Is Lorelei and u426 comes at us with some more good gubbins.
Mayshe-Mayshe has something new to offer and Suckaside do a mashup, and very well too!

This month's show features an exclusive session from Tiberius as well as the usual line-up of recent and new releases, including albums from the likes of Prolapse, Shame, Diane Marie Kloba, Max Rael and The Beths, plus new singles from Babe Roots and The Cords, among others.
Some of our favourite labels of recent times have delivered some great releases of late, as is their wont, including Libertino and Lavender Sweep, Skep Wax, God Unknown, Bearsuit and Blue Tapes.
We've also got a couple of great reissues featuring Zig-Zag Band and Rapture and, naturally, our regular Peel Back... feature documenting some of the tunes that lit up the Peel universe 50, 40 and 30 years ago this month.

As the weather turns autumnal, there's no doubt that there are many great tracks ready to be plucked from the tree! Fortunately, this show sweeps up some ripe fruit and harvests enough goodies to make it a bumper three-hour feast.
LP of the month is from Lathe of Heaven and it's a cracker. An emotional moment at End of the Road Festival gives us this months "underappreciated, undervalued" band, C Turtle.
A great night at a Breakfast Records showcase, means Shrimp Eyes and Gut Health are included in the show. As well as new tracks by previous show favourites MadMadMad, University, Bratakus and Slow Crush.
Theres some noisy stuff from Mother Vulture, Snooper, Spaced, Rocket and Jehnny Beth. Some quieter moments from Margaret Glaspy and Ebbb. And a load of stuff somewhere in between from Dame Area, My First Time, Golden Toad, The 18th Parallel and Oslo Twins.
Enjoy the crop we have picked, enjoy the fruits of our labour. Whatever your musical taste you won't be hungry after this show!

An hour from Rocker this month, Including new tracks from Prolapse; The Howling Giblets; Billy Bragg; Dark Thoughts; The Lovely Basement; The Loft; Carnivorous Flower; i-nichi; Sweetpool; and The Cords.
B-Man remixes The Drain On The Balcony, while Silver Biplanes cover Biff Bang Pow.
This month's Rocker's Shellac Attack is a twin piano boogie from 1941, while this month's Educating Elizabeth record is a new release which sees a Northern Soul classic by Jackie Edwards given a distinctive ska spin.
As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: E. Mark Windle's book 'The Hundred Year Hunger: A Timeline of Food Insecurity and Malnutrition in Gaza' is available from https://a-nickel-and-a-nail.myshopify.com

What have I got for you on Bottom of the Pops this month, lucky listeners? Lots and lots of new tunes.
For those of you that have listened over the years you'll know that I'm a fan of Durban specific sound Gqom. It's been a while since a producer has updated the sound so I'm very happy to say I've been led to Akiid who introduces Afro beats and some European flavours to the sound. Also a track off the debut by Berlin based Turkish producer Peki Momes is lighting up my life and I don't know who Dead Bob is but his Five Sacks of Phones tune has been on repeat play here.
Also loads of new releases by artists I've played before including Whitney K, The Bordellos, Blawan, Gorillaz and Bity Booker.
Looking back I've decided to jump into some personal favourites from the Bay State (Massachusetts) The Modern Lovers, Sunburned Hand of Man & Galaxie 500 amongst others.
Enjoy

Now that Spring has sprung in this hemisphere the Thomas show is back, recorded on the day Robert Redford died, hence the opening song.
There's an old ditty from The Lovely Eggs that's about to be a new track on their forthcoming album Bin Juice, and a blast from the past from Pagan Wanderer Lu that's now ‘name your price' on Bandcamp.
Otherwise it's just new hotness from the likes of No Peeling, Problem Patterns, Baker Boy, Ov Pain and Optic Sink, plus the magnificent return of Crash The Superyacht!

This month X-Ray Moon has decided to mention words such as hot chocolate, marshmallows and toast – because 'eclectic' is his middle name ...
As far as music goes he has a quite extraordinary show for us this month. New offerings by Tortoise and Stereolab are both equally intriguing and great. X-Ray Moon treats us to the wonderful Small Grey Man by Uranium Club; Too Much Joy get a spin on the turntable, both because they are spectacular and because they are releasing a 35th anniversary edition of their second album, 'Son of Sam I Am', on the 31st of this month. And because of the sad death of Bruce Loose who died from a heart attack on the 5th September, X-Ray Moon has a dedication to the singer and the menacing darkness of the San Francisco punk group Flipper.
There are also tracks by The Lo Yo Yo; YHWH Nailgun; Jasper Byrne; Tropical Fuck Storm, and, as they say, so much – so so so much – so much much more, oh yeah.
X-Ray Moon wishes everyone a healthy, happy and peaceful October.
And hopes everyone enjoys his show.
