On my show this month:
We enter the northern hemisphere's autumnal months with a soundtrack that includes new albums from Baby Schillaci, Fontaines D.C., Clark, Los Bitchos and The Eurosuite and there are previews of what awaits us in the forthcoming Kim Deal and Honeyglaze releases. Our featured compilation this month is a fascinating collection of C19/early C20 wax recordings courtesy of the Death Is Not The End label. We also feature something from recent De Schuurman and Dolly Cooper retrospectives and of course there's a taste of the Man...Or Astro-Man? BBC Sessions release in there too. Other, more recent, BBC session material comes from House Of All and of course we have our regular Peel Back...feature, with tracks John Peel was introducing a grateful world to back in October 1974, 1984 and 1994.

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.
