On my show this month:
Four finger-clicking hours of music from Leo to salve your soul this month.
He has a reggae cover of Underworld 's Born Slippy, chaotic noise from Normal Nada the Krakmaxter, traditional folk from Me Lost Me , an extended track from Läuten der Seele and the enigma of all enigmas from Voice Actor.
There is so much more besides, so why not stop reading this, tune your dial to Dandelion and listen in?
On the show NEXT month:
Leo gives you four hours of fantastic sounds from all over the world this month, with Australian tunes taking pole position – namely Karen Vogt , Vintage Crop , Yirinda, Daughter Bat & the Lip Stings (band name of the month), Sarah Mary Chadwick and others besides.
He also has two tracks from his album of the month by Big Blood , some unnerving sounds from Matmos and Jockstrap , and nearly 22 minutes from a reinvigorated Animal Collective .
It is, without doubt, unmissable.

Biography:
I am in many ways your typical John Peel fan. I grew up listening to his shows from the era of punk rock until his death, and, with increasing obsessiveness, compiled cassettes, mini discs and finally mp3 playlists of the best tunes. Music runs through my family’s veins, and in me this takes the form of a compulsive search for new sounds. As John Peel used to put it, what I really want to hear is something I haven’t heard before.
Envy fills me when I read what my Dandelion collaborators have achieved in promoting, making and playing music, but my life as a teacher for the past quarter of a century has squeezed out any time for, well, pretty much anything apart from listening to and appreciating what continues to be made musically across the world. At last, though, I have found the space to pursue what has long been an ambition and can attempt to meet the stellar broadcasting standards set by my volunteer colleagues by sharing my love of new music with Dandelion listeners. I really hope at least some of what you hear gets its hooks into you.
