On my show this month:
Monkey Say Monkey Do
This month X-Ray Moon has compiled a programme that he has called 'Nirvana Etcetera', which is dedicated to the memory of Kurt Cobain who sadly died thirty years ago on 5th April 1994.
In this programme we are presented with a sprinkling of a few of Nirvana's best tracks (though how does one choose one from another – since so many of them are fabulous?!). We are also presented with some of Nirvana's contemporaries from around the Seattle, USA, area; as well as some rather splendid, shocking and rare cover versions of some of Nirvana tracks. Finally, we are treated to tracks from a selection of Kurt’s favourite albums.
This is X-Ray Moon’s dedication to Kurt Cobain and Nirvana.
Enjoy!

Biography:
Music both old and new. My tendency has always been to be attracted to the 'different', the other, the subversive… something that in one way or another challenges authority or orthodoxy and somehow attempts to shape wider society. Whether that be Punk, two-tone, Krautrock, Rai… etc.
In addition to that though I quite simply enjoy discovering the new, the different and the strange. Sounds, voices and atmospheres from around this small globe we call home are what excite me...
Over the years I have lived in many different countries, and wherever I was John Peel was the background, for many years, that aurally lit-up my adventures. He so perfectly reminded us that the quality, importance and worth of something has nothing to do with its 'popularity', and more to do with how it breaks down barriers and makes the complacent feel uncomfortable. How music at its best can be so much more than just a wallpaper-friendly pop song. So, then, eternal thanks to John Peel, who helped mould many of us…
Plus, thanks for listening. It is a great pleasure and joy to bring these shows to you; I hope you enjoy what you hear.
