A mammoth record of 20 shows spanning 45 hours for June - in celebration of our 20th birthday. Simon joins in with his first show since 2009 and we have the first part of a 'documentary' looking back over our history.
Thanks for all the great music, Dandelion Radio. More of Andy's Dad please!!! Is it true though that Shrag, Standard Fare and The Chasms have all split up? If so, then that's very sad. I heard them all first on here.
Admin reply: This reply from Rocker: :-( Sadly this is all true - The Chasms are at the very least on hold - and Standard Fare and Shrag are both playing their final gigs at the London Popfest at the end of Feb. All are bands I have played on my show and have seen live in the last year.

Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone that voted for us in the Festive 50......can't believe that we have made the cut at all, let alone at 22!!
Thanks a million for all your hard work through the year and, of course, for the extra efforts on the ever intriguing Festive 50. Word has it from the Kremlin that, on hearing the news of the no.12 entry, Putin did indeed p*** himself on the spot... Elsewhere, I was reminded to finally go get that Flies On You album... and what a teen-terrific number one from Savages... I suspect someone up there might well be very happy with that one...
I salute you all, and all the best for 2013...
Admin reply: Thanks for the comment. Will mark this post as Private until near the end of January so that there are no spoilers for new listeners

I just wanted to drop you a line to say Dandelion is OF THE HOOK this month! I've thoroughly enjoyed every show and have listened to a bunch of them more than once. I think this might be the best month ever. -Eric
Just a suggestion - I'm finding that as I listen to Dandelion Radio at roughly the same time each day, give or take an hour or two, I'm finding that the show heard the previous day is playing, or its the next show up. Have you ever thought of shifting the shows more widely - for instance show A plays at 12am on day 1, then on 12pm on day 2, then 1am on day 3, etc. Or something like that. I only ask as I end up not listening to Dandelion radio nearly s much as I otherwise would.
Admin reply: Hello Simon, We do try to mix things up - for this very reason. We have a different number of hours playing each month - with DJs making between 1 and 3 hour shows. So we try to get variety for those who listen at around the same time each day, while still making it possible to build e schedule in the hectic few days before the end of the month. This means at there is usually a repeat interval of a few days - this month it is a 7 day interval. I just looked at 1800 and it is a different show each of the 7 days in the cycle this month. http://www.dandelionradio.com/schedule.htm
