There is no show from Rocker this month
On the show NEXT month:
A two hour show from Rocker this month, featuring new tracks from The Bevis Frond ; NoFX; Bramwell; Beau ; Alan Sparhawk ; West Country Tippers; The Just Joans ; Sweetpool; Spiderhoney; Lande Hekt ; and Wild Billy Childish And The North Kent Folkways Revival.
There's electronica from The Black Dog ; and Max Cooper . Massive Attack team up with Tom Waits to make an unashamedly anti-war statement. Half Egyptian oud virtuoso Joseph Tawadros returns to the show to provide further advice to the limited company Reform 2025.
This month's Rocker's Shellac Attack is a 1968 release from the undisputed queen of the Bollywood playback singers, while this month's Educating Elizabeth record is a new release out of Newbury, West Berkshire.
As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: When Bristol, UK's Massive Attack released what has become their best known single, 1991's Unfinished Sympathy, they temporarily shortened their name to 'Massive', as the BBC had instructed their radio DJs not to play anything war-related during the US-led Gulf War against Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq. (Bonus extra fact: BBC radio DJ John Peel responded to this instruction by opening his show on the eve of the war with June Tabor's entirely a capella version of Eric Bogle's anti-war anthem 'The Band Played Waltzing Matilda'.)

Biography:
I am proud to be a DJ for dandelionradio.com - as far as we know we are the only radio station inspired by John Peel - I was a Peel listener from 1976 to 2004 and it was his open minded attutude to different genres that has shaped my own tastes. It is a great buzz to be carrying on the great man's work and bringing previously unknown artists to the attention of our listeners.
As well as my radio DJing I have been known to drag my crates around the UK - I currently hold DJ residencies at monthly indiepop nights Sunny Inside Presents in Stoke-on-Trent and Big Pink Cake in Bristol, as well as co-promoting and DJing at Bristol's monthly vinyl-only Northern Soul night, Getting Together. I have also appeared as guest DJ at some of London's finest indie nights: Twee As Fuck; How Does It Feel To Be Loved; Lost Music Presents; and Scared To Dance.
I run eclectic CD-R label Local Underground, and am promoter and resident DJ for related gigs & events as Local Underground Presents. I also play out a progressive house set as B_Man - you can download some old mixes here. In the Bristol, UK area I have DJd for Manna parties as well as Empathy, and Voodoo nights. My ambient / chillout / dub reggae / punk / soundtracks / psychedelia sets are also much in demand in certain (crop) circles. Over the years I have also been known to play keyboards / drums in various ensembles. I record most of the bands' sessions for my show in my recording studio, StAR Studios, which, like me, has a busy schedule!
You can find me on MySpace here, and on Facebook here!
