On my show this month:
Yet more extraordinary releases continue to pour in and, as usual, we do our best to fit as many of them in as possible. This month, that means something from hugely anticipated albums from Dez Dare , Horsegirl and St Cyrus, among other things, but plus excellent new singles from Agent Starling, Silver Biplanes and The Orchids .
Our featured compilation this month comes from the fabulous Take It Acid Is label, whose incredible output I've been neglecting of late, featuring a bunch of sex-themed songs from before the second world war; there's also some reissued Prince Far I and, as usual, three gems lifted from the session archives in our Peel Back... section.
Add in a heavily countrified Angel Olsen release and something else from a Porridge Radio album that (I'm claiming anyway) is every better than their celebrated debut, and I reckon we've got enough to take away anyone's summertime blues ...

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.
