Andy's November show has 60 minutes of great music, both new and old. There are new tunes from Sister Ray Davies, For Those I Love, Aery, Positive Reaction, Blood Orange and TEED (who you may previously remember as Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs). You'll also hear an older song from Brutus (who I criminally haven't played on my show since 2017), plus an Andy's Old Chestnut from 1987 by Spear Of Destiny.

Andy will also let you know to vote for your favourite tracks of the year in the Official 2025 Festive Fifty listeners' poll throughout November.

Greetings!
I have awesome new songs from Snooper, Automatic, Sanam, Die Spitz, Volk Soup, The Cords, Upchuck, Mengers, Citric Dummies, Sunset Images, The Bateluers, Laundry Bats, Ivy, and more. There is another new album by Osees, this time a live album of less familiar songs. My fellow Dandelion DJs have been impressed by the new album by Prolapse and I am as well.
Although his music may not be the best fit for Dandelion Radio, I do want to pay my respects to Ace Frehley. He was one of my first rock and roll idols when I was a kid and he was an incredible musician. Rest in peace, Ace.
I try to keep my in-show talking to a minimum to make more room for music, but I do have more to discuss about what I play, so check out my companion show notes over at http://davidondandelion.blogspot.com.
Enjoy the show!

You might've gained an hour in bed when the clocks changed in October, but you've lost an hour of Gareth's show in November! Gareth brings you a shortened show this month, with only 1 hour to cram in as much as possible.
There's a lorra lorra laughs from Mozart Estate and you'll hear the troubles of being in a band with a day job from Nervous Twitch.
Plus hyper Hull performance poet and rapper Jodie Langford is the guest presenter for 'Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue' to coincide with the release of her long-awaited debut album 'Softly Spoken', available now on all download and streaming platforms.

Leo takes you on a trip that loops through back alleys of post-punk, ambient futures, and borderless rhythm experiments. From Billy Bragg's Hundred Year Hunger - still smouldering with protest - to Eliot Krimsky's dreamlike Feel I'm Getting Closer, we're floating between heart and circuitry. Expect shape-shifting soundscapes from Akira Umeda & Metal Preyers, Greg Freeman's windswept Wolf Pine, and The Fall doing what The Fall always do—mither gloriously.

There's fizzing electronics from Rival Consoles and Aerae, neon jazz from Francesca Remigi, and dense nocturnal pop from Emma Pollock and Dry Cleaning. We'll dig deep into Nyege Nyege grooves with Katokye and Zig Zag Band before gliding into Dylan Henner's star-blurred melancholy.

You'll hear cosmic whispers from Rien Virgule, raw swagger from SPRINTS, a strange hymn or two from Valby Vokalgruppe, and Alan Sparhawk closing the circle with quiet grace. From the noisy to the tender, every track sparks off the next - proof that connection still hums in the static.
Tune in, turn it up, and get gloriously lost.

What is occurring this month then? Hmmmmmmmm? Well, I've got THREE featured albums!
There is one in an indie style from Hammydown, another hip hop effort from Evidence and then some, as they call it, fairydoom but, well, doom metal really from Faetooth. Sir Hiss has teamed up, again, with Logan_OLM to produce a brilliant track and there is a deadly edit from MBO. O.R.B. have some new psychedelia for our ears and Sleaford Mods have a new single out which almost inevitably gets a spin om my show.
There's some reggae from O.B.F, Mark Iration & Michael Prophet and two fab artists, Arms and Sleepers and Sun Glitters team up to make an excellent track.
You in?

Last month's session guests Tiberius return with a blistering live set, one of two live offerings in a show that also includes something from the new Osees live album. Our featured compilation this month is a new box set from Cherry Red focusing on US 80s 90s indie rock.

There's also something from the new Guerilla Toss offering, a whole bunch of great reggae/dub releases from the likes of Manwel T, MyDubz & Dub Idren and E.R.S. and two phenomenal albums from Sweden courtesy of Hidden Operator and Stress Assassin.

In addition to that, we do what we normally do in the month of Festive Fifty voting and Peel Back... to a selection of tunes from the chart of forty years ago.

Here are two hours filled with everything that's good about 2025. There are show favourites in abundance with The New Eves, Bratakus, My First Time and Pebbledash. Latest single from Mallory Hawk after an outstanding performance in Bristol recently.
"Old" favourites make a return as well with new tracks from Be Your Own Pet and The Wytches.
LP of the month is from the excellent Snooper and this months "underappreciated, undervalued" band, from 2001, is Nebula.
Latest tracks from Sister Ray Davies, The Hanging Stars, Ghost Assembly and Kutiman. And it was impossible to ignore the latest from Sharp Pins, Lael Neale and World News.
Plus something heavy from Dachshund and Luxury Apartments, something more subtle from Tony Molina and Teenage Tom Petties and of course our monthly adventure in some dub, this month with Jalen Ngonda.

Theres some noisy stuff from Mother Vulture, Snooper, Spaced, Rocket and Jehnny Beth. Some quieter moments from Margaret Glaspy and Ebbb. And a load of stuff somewhere in between from Dame Area, My First Time, Golden Toad, The 18th Parallel and Oslo Twins.
Enjoy the crop we have picked, enjoy the fruits of our labour. Whatever your musical taste you won't be hungry after this show!

An hour from Rocker this month, including new tracks from The Telephone Numbers; Tulpa; Josie; Alan Stilton; Norwegian Blue; Dark Thoughts; The Lovely Basement; Carnivorous Flower; and Nervous Twitch.

There's electronica from Deetron and Booka Shade. Japanese rock band The 5,6,7,8's team up with Miss Ludella Black to cover John Barry, while Wreckless Eric 'covers' his own material, reworking a song he first released in the 1980s as The Captains Of Industry.

This month's Rocker's Shellac Attack is a pacifist anthem from 1915, while this month's Educating Elizabeth record is a new release on the mighty Daptone record label.

As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: a Tulpa Is a mythical being manifested into existence through the act of concentrated thought.

Apparently it's 45 years since the eponymous debut album from Killing Joke so what better way than to kick off the show with Wardance as we live in a permanent state of one these days. The track sounds as ominous, funky and heavy as it ever did.
The next two tracks come thick and fast with Al Karpenter pleading to end the genocide and then somewhere in Indonesia HACKHACKHACK have released an ep that's as good as anything extreme noise terror ever produced.
Don't worry it's not all doom and gloom. We've got a new release from NSW's RMFC, Laurence's Mozart Estate, The Star Feminine Band and a fabulous re work of Gil Scott Heron's Winter in America produced by Masters At Work.
There's hours of new music from the likes of Big Modern, Waylon Thornton, Byron the Aquarius, The Sexual Objects, Los Síquicos Litoraleños, Origami Horses and many more.

In the month that Dandelion encourages you to vote in the Festive 50 for the year, here's a number of hot contenders from the likes of Hearts and Rockets, Lothario, Snorkel, Baker Boy and so on.
New band (comprised entirely of teachers) Staffish release their first song, while Party Pest release their last. Buttress O'Kneel and Jinnwoo find a bunch of tunes on an old hard drive, and there's a slight return of sorts from Life Without Buildings.
All this plus some 1980s antipodean dub, support for Schapelle Corby, and moments of fragile loveliness. If you'd like to contribute to Female Wizard's FFS surgery the link is here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/alexander-get-ffs

In an unexpected twist X-Ray Moon will be uttering an exquisite sentence that he has never articulated ever before in his life, and is as certain as he can be that it's a sentence he will regrettably never have the occasion to say again.
Listen in to this slightly-less-exciting-phenomenon-than-it-sounds rarity on X-Ray Moon's November show. As well as this, he has for us:
Going to Heaven on the end of A Stick; Prohibition Prohibition; Red Noise; Persian Claws; and the wondrous Syd Barrett as well as many surprises ...
X-Ray Moon hopes everyone enjoys the show
