On my show this month:
This month we’re hurtling into the year’s second quarter with a hearty grab bag of sonic treats in the glovebox, there’s a song called Egg and a band called Eggy , a song called Grub Club and a band called The Bug Club , a trip to Planet Sister and Mulga Bore as well as lovely Wales, remixes for Perc and Hydra Fashion Week , plus new noisy business from Baker Boy , Infinity Knives, Elvis 2 and more besides.
On the show NEXT month:
This month’s show is dedicated to roots giant Max Romeo who died last month, and starts doing what the BBC didn’t dare to back in the late sixties by spinning his ode to - as my dear old nan use to call them - “nighttime emissions”. The influence of Jamaican music is evident throughout this May’s episode, e.g. when Bacao Rhythm and Steel Band start “versioning” up their big hit, or when Froid Dub get as dubby as their name suggests, or when Biased claims to be at somewhere called “Riddimsburg”. Album of the month goes to C Powers , album title of the month goes to ‘Cake and Arse Party’ by Cold Meat (although Rrose gives it a good crack too), and poem of the month goes to Allara. All that and the first Christmas song of 2025 from Alice Douglass Skye, it comes round quicker every year ...

Biography:
Thomas Blatchford was born in Southampton (UK) but has now lived for over
a decade in Birraranga (aka Melbourne, Australia). An avid listener to the
John Peel show between 2000-2004 (first show: May 3rd 2000, with Kid Koala
in session), Thomas tries to make up for the disappointment of never having
a Peel session by always being in at least five bands simultaneously (which
currently includes - genuinely - an acappella glam metal trio). Thomas
previously ran the bedroom record label Fulsome Prism Recordings, and was
also involved with another DIY imprint, Helen Llewelyn Product Nineteen,
way back when. Thomas still occasionally makes fanzines even though it is
no longer 1981, and works in a discount bookshop to make ends meet.
