Greetings! 2024 continues to be an awesome year for new releases, reissues, and reprints. This month I have new stuff from Radar Men From The Moon, Conjunto Papa Upa, Class, Pack Rat, Julia-Sophie, Osees, Tigre Ulli, and Tidiane Thiam.
I have a new song from the upcoming album from Tess Parks, and tunes from reissues of great albums by Nomeansno, Dinosaur Jr, and various artists from the Plurex label.

Enjoy the show!

Gareth's September show is a packed 2 hours of eclectic sounds, taking you on an European musical journey with artists from France, Switzerland, Germany, Finland and Romania.
Meanwhile back in the UK there are two lost tracks from 1962 produced by Joe Meek for 'Secret Songs from the Sixties', and we head to Wales in the 2nd hour with guest presenter John MOuse for another edition of 'Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue' to coincide with the release of his new album 'Back to The Clubhouse' released September 26th.

Leo Gilbert

Leo has four hours of life-altering tunes for you this month.
They range from a pummelling, unpronounceable track by Tehran artist Sote, to the soothing melodies of Indonesian Peni Candra Rini, from the ear-splitting Julie Christmas and Johannes Persson to the catchy Indian pop of H. Britton, and from the distorted guitar sounds of Azerbaijan’s RəhmanMəmmədli to the lullaby-like musings of Dylan Henner.
Add to this mixture a generous dollop of John Cale, Sleaford Mods, Inigo Kennedy and Amnesia Scanner and you might begin to imagine just what delights await you if you tune into Leo’s show.

I don't know about you but I loved the Olympic Games, lots of great stories and tales of success through challenging times.
Who are up for medals in music this month?
Jellyfish Punch is definitely a contender for gold and The Soundcarriers have been seasoned professionals in the game for years. Newbies challenging for Bronze, Sliver and Gold come in the shape of LUKAMBA, Vincent Van Sloth, Laguna Pai and Mumble Bandari. A bit like the triathletes in Paris, I've gone in the Seine over featured albums this month.
Normally I just feature one but I have FOUR albums featured! They are the excellent works of Black Market Karma, ORB, Parlor Greens and DAIISTAR .....woah!

The legend that is JD Meatyard is our session guest this month, with three exclusive versions of tunes from his recent album plus a revamped version of a much-loved oldie.
In addition to that, we have a featured compilation of mid-eighties Portuguese music courtesy of the Dark Entries label.
Naturally, of course, we also have a whole load of great new releases, including tracks from new albums by Sex Swing, Manudigital Peiriant, Woog Riots and Fontaines DC plus tasters of future album releases from Cumgirl8 and Porridge Radio. Peel Back..., meanwhile, transports us back to John Peel sessions of September 1974, 1984 and 1994.

Rocker's List Songs Special

Rocker brings you an hour of songs whose lyrics are essentially made up of lists, inspired by former Chumbawamba frontman Dunstan Bruce's debut solo single 'Fucking Expensive'.
Laziness or genius? This show should help you decide.

It's another 4 hours of Bottom of the Pops on Dandelion Radio. Will you make it the whole way through? I certainly hope so.
A real treat to start the show for you this month, a new one from Ten Benson. Easily one of my favourite bands of all time. They rock, they've got humour in spades, a social conscience and they never have the desire to shout about themselves. They are nigh on the perfect band. Listen to the lyrics of this release, their first for aeons, which suddenly appeared mid riot season. I wonder who they could be talking about. I must have played it over 100 times already.
Also another great new Jamie XX tune, this time in partnership with the Avalanches - bliss. New releases from Silas J Dirge, The Citric Dummies, The Fcukers (on my weekly one hour show this release is getting a lot of positive feedback from people), London's Tokyo Riddim Band, Japan's Do Do Do's, Sydney's Party Dozen and the list goes on.
In July Metal Postcard records released its 500th release, the ever productive Neon Kittens, who else? An excuse for me delve into a small part of the back catalogue to play you some old favourites. Here's to the next 500.
Also Gil Scott-Heron, Chris & Cosey, The Chills (RIP) and Captain Beefheart.
Enjoy the show and thankyou for listening.

Thomas Blatchford

Having hibernated through most of Brat Summer on account of being in the wrong hemisphere, Thomas is back with 18 newish belters in an hour, a sore throat and absolutely no reference to *that* reunion, thank christ.
Captain Beep-boop makes music on a modified payphone while Hot Tubs Time Machine struggle with a specific bit of technology, Crumbs and Allison Walker vie for song title of the month, The Go! Team get the 20th anniversary remix treatment from Cornershop and Lothario gets lewd.

X-Ray Moon

As always, Moon provides us with an eclectic mix of a few older releases with some hot-off-the waxing new tracks.
We have a couple of sunny summer moments with The Stranglers and The Waterboys. We are introduced to an intriguing track by Sunset Rubdown with a second release from their first new album in fifteen years. As well as all of this there is an anomalous-sounding track by Section 25, and a new version of an old track by Tom Waits; and extraordinarily excitingly there is a new release by the superbly strange and conceptually naughty The Residents.
Happy September. X-Ray Moon hopes everyone enjoys his show.
