Thomas Blatchford

On my show this month:
This month's shiny shindig kicks off with a great deal of effing and jeffing (although Roarcuss have established they don't really care what you think about that) but by the time we reach Soft Peaks you'll hopefully have calmed down. Great Area pay tribute to love and also Love, however the songs elsewhere called 'All By Myself' and 'Sexy Boy' aren't covers. Charlie Tipper reflects on 12 years of Dandelion Radio sessions and name changes, plus there's new heaters from C Powers, Kayps, Viikatory, Strict Face and 'the like'.

On the show NEXT month:
Welcome if you dare to the spoooooky Halloween episode of yours truly's DandeFRIGHTEN radio show, where there's wigglers and phosphenes and bottoms of the night to you!
Why did Snake Thighs not attend the ball? They had 'Nobody' to go with! And look there's The Fall feeling numb in France 30 years ago! Ooooh! So delightful and frightful! The ghost of JJ Doom is here too, and echoes from the past from Aural Indifference and kindred spirits Galactic Symposium, and is that People Like Us playing the ouija board?
Plus new non-gloomy howls from Spread Joy and Weird 1000 and Hodge and the like!
What a treat!

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.
