In June, Gareth asks what ambitions and life goals you have on your bucket list? There are a few suggestions for you courtesy of songs by MJ Hibbett & The Validators , Brian Bilston and The Catenary Wires plus Kunt and the Gang . This month's edition of 'Secret Songs from the Sixties' features two lost recordings by comedy trio The Scaffold. The 2nd hour contains a couple of interesting cover versions, including Darren Hayman tackling a Madonna song! Plus this month's guest presenters are San Francisco Indiepop band Whitney's Playland. They'll be taking part in the regular feature 'Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue' to coincide with the release of their new EP 'Long Rehearsal', released June 20th on Dandy Boy Records (US) / Meritorio Records (Spain). |

I'm keeping going while I have some time available. No sessions or featured albums this month. No lack of fab music, though. I have something from Caroline Rose and King Doudou brings some bubbling (yes, that is a genre). There is a track off a killer 10" by Killa Sound and a simply sublime track by the Era Footwork Crew. There is one of my votes from last years Festive 50 by the band Def Robot and Gaydar come at us with their usual bite. If you give it a listen, thank you very much :-) |

There are two shows from me this month - a one hour "Cops Special" and my regular Bottom of the Pops outing. We have three hours of Bottom of the Pops this month kicking off with a tune accusing Lydon of being a fascist by a man wearing a buzzcocks tee. What with the Kneecap comments last month Lydon certainly knows how to stay in the news even if he isn't entirely relevant in 2025. New tunes form a host of artists including West Australia's Cold Meat , The UK's Sault , The Half Naked Shrunken Heads from old York, the Madalitso Band from Malawi and Tsapkiky from Madagascar to name a few. One of the pivotal cultural figures in the punk/garage scene in Australia, James Baker, died last month so we feature his work with the early incarnations of the Hoodoo Gurus & The Beasts of Bourbon . Adrian Sherwood is back with a new tune, his first in many many moons. Alan Ginsburg's poem America penned in 1956 gets a rinse as it talks as much about 2025 as it does that year. Oldies from Ian Dury , Bob Dylan , Moby & talking about Dylan check Jesse Wells the man they are touting as the new Dylan, the youth love his songs on Tik Tok and it's not hard to understand why when you hear the likes of "Walmart" my featured song from him. I'll be playing more from him in the upcoming months. |

As Prince once said, "it’s June", and this month's sonic jamboree features fighting talk from Xiao Xiao and Zion Garcia, the first single from Public Figures and a last outing for Ghost Bitch, something epic from the archives thanks to Cécilia Angeles and a kids song about not wanting bees to die by Shiny Coin . Plus a celebratory fist in the air from Toecutter and a beautiful song that ends with the phrase "eschew determinism tonight". |
 X-Ray Moon
In X-Ray’s June show he will be treating us to mainly new stuff, with the occasional smattering of long-since-forgottens. Bratakus , the two Scottish sisters are given a well-deserved outing from their new album. Nurse With Wound are back with some tracks in collaboration with Scanner , of which Moon plays us a rather tantalising example. We are introduced to a marvellous track by Sababa 5 & Sophia Solomon. As well as first time on radio IS who are from Hereford and Swansea. Among some of the older contributions are Chumbawumba, Peelander-Z , and LOS TEXAO . X-Ray Moon hope everyone has a fabulous June and hopes everyone likes his show. |
