Here is what is currently playing on Dandelion Radio
Sean Hocking It's 3 hours from Bottom of the Pops this month and as some have been complaining about leftist politics on the station I've made sure that this month's show has a Palestinian freedom song and a track by Kneecap who are turning out to be the best thing to have happened to rock'n'roll since the Sleaford Mods, even if I don't like all their tunes. There's some acts with great names in this month's show ... Bleak Squad, Dj Die Soon , 3 Electro Knights & Erik Nervous to name a few. We can't not remember the great Brian Wilson who I was lucky enough to see live soon after he came out of the Landy coma-zone. Once you listen to the tunes again it's not hard to see why they call him a genius and I'm still, after 1000's of listens, obsessed by 1968's "Do It Again" which squeezes as much pathos, yearning, memory and desire into its 2 minutes 19 seconds as a Tolstoy novel. We've also got new releases by Whitney K , The Conspiracy , Ezra Furman and The Bug amongst others. This month's particular obsession is Napalm Death teaming up with Thurston Moore to cover The Ramones' "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue". Too good to be true! Enjoy
