It's March and it's Bottom of the Pops chock with plenty of unknown unknowns in this month's 4 hour show.
I hardly even had time for dead rockstars although I have had to squeeze in Mr Verlaine & Mr Bacharach as both can't simply be ignored.
Anyway what have we got for you this month.
Some recent Jamaican Dancehall releases dotted throughout the show as it appears that Jamaican authorities haven't been overly happy with the subject matter of many new tunes, put simply, drugs and guns. So they have done their best to get broadcasters not to play the songs. As far as I can work out most of the songs now coming out just reflect what's happening in societies so I'm not sure what the big fuss is about. Keep an ear out for Skillibeng & Kraff.
First time acts on the show include Jean Mignon (NY), The Postmen (Southampton), Meadow Argus (Queensland), Tee Tee Repairman (Sydney), Kalle Hygiene (Sweden) and Gurry Wurry (Glasgow).
Great new tunes from oldies include something from Robert Forster's new album (in my book as good as anything the Go-Betweens did - and that's a big ask!), Django Django, Rose City Band (ex Wooden Shijps), Mozart Estate (actually Laurence of Felt) and Steve Mason has a new one out too.
Coming out of Leftfield we have James Last (yes that James Last!) covering Marvin Gaye and it's surprisingly good. US Virgin Islands act The Lashing Dogs whose songs may sound as sweet as pie but the lyrics point out some painful political truths not just applicable to the US Virgin Island but all over our teetering planet.
Lots lots more. Enjoy and thank you for listening.

Django Django consists of vocalist and guitarist Vinny Neff, drummer Dave Maclean (a brother of Beta Band's keyboard player John Maclean), Jimmy Dixon on bass and Tommy Grace on keyboards. They met at Edinburgh College of Art but formed in Dalston, London in 2008.

The band released their eponymous debut album in January 2012, combining 80s pop rhythms with 60s Beach Boys-style vocal harmonies, a style that some, rightly or wrongly, have labelled folktronica.
