On my show this month:
We enter the second month of the year with no let-up in the great music around. This includes new albums from Billy Nomates , Black Market Karma and Marlody , EPs from Mossambi, The Conspiracy and Neon Kittens and singles from Dez Dare , Manwel T and Gary Dread. There's yet another version of 'Chaise Longue' knocking about, a remix from Unknown Mortal Orchestra plus, rather less predictably, a proposed Eurovision entry from Public Image Ltd. Our featured compilation is a box set courtesy of Cherry Red and we've got three tracks from a set recorded live online by the marvellous Penfriend .

Biography:
My music-related activities over the years have been restricted to such peripheral activities as running a venue and attempting to manage a band to putting together radio shows variously named The A-Z of Punk, Idiot Jukebox and The Diamond Mine as well as masquerading as The Phantom Surfer to produce The History of Surf Music and unintentionally controversial hour-long documentary Surfin' East Kilbride, all of which have made appearances on various community radio stations over the years.
I'm the author of a book on John Peel's Festive Fifty called, with great imagination, The Festive Fifty. I edited a fanzine called The Backdoor in the late eighties, fronted a band called The Beached Whales that never got round to gigging and played amplifier lead and slides with a band who'd rather I didn't make my association with them public. I have what I believe is a healthy contempt for music journalism (even when it's good) and believe the best way to start a band is to put four people who can't play in a room with some second hand instruments, don't feed 'em and don't let them out until they've produced something great. I've tried it on several occasions and no one's died yet.
