On my show this month:
It's been a while, but we finally resume what hopefully will be the regular feature of sessions in this show and where better to start? Bedbug are this month's guests and there's a single from Max Blansjaar who'll be appearing in session right here next month. In addition to those, we've got tracks from new albums by Squarepusher, Kim Gordon, House Of All and Mdou Moctar, among others, plus new singles featuring the likes of Ranking Joe, Vertont, Crumbs, Zoom Uinit and CSE Art Project. Naturally, there's another Peel Back... feature, with archive tracks from April 1974, 1984 and 1994 and, in a show otherwise - out of necessity - light on vintage tunes, a live retrospective from Commander Cody & The Lost Planet Airmen.

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 and a novel that is nothing at all to do with music ... called Balls. 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.
