Sean Hocking - July 2024
Three hours of Bottom of the Pops this month. We open the show with The Bordellos and a well timed, "Tastes Like Summer" from their new album on Metal Postcard.
The Metal Postcard stable also throws you new tunes by Neon Kittens, Little Bohemia, Sir Robert Orange Peel and Babylon Owl. The Neutrals debut lp "New Town Dream" is a cracker and my current favourite off the album is "Stop The Bypass".
We've also got newbies from Arp, Jamie XX, Avalon Emerson, The Gobs, Yaang, Kneecap, Snooper and too many more to mention.
We also pop down to the Ambai Islands off Timor in Indonesia to listen to Songerri which can only be described as Pentecostal Polynesian. This amazingly joyous gospel music is simple 2 chord joy that has me enraptured, literally!
There's also new tunes from Skillibeng and Gurry Wurry.
Enjoy

X-Ray Moon - July 2024
This month on X-Ray Moon’s show ...
The Space Lady sings Major Tom; The Surrealist Temple Band sing about International Women's Day; Rowland S. Howard recounts his thoughts on Dead Radio; and, Abschaum tell us about the Demon at the Door.
There are new songs by Fontaines D.C.; The Bug Club; New Model Army; Folly Group; The The; and, among others, Bonny Light Horseman.
Plus there are some rather intriguing 'long-since-forgottens' from Gil Scott Heron; Frieder Butzmann; The Ex with Brader Musiki; and, Genesis P-Orridge.
Once again X-Ray Moon provides us with what he hopes is an enjoyable, interesting, and quirky blend of new and old, mainly new, tracks – that, he hopes, will introduce the listener to sounds and groups they may not have come across before as well as being reminded of old favourites that really should be plonked down on the turntable once again.
X-Ray hopes everyone enjoys the show!
