| The Beatbox Saboteurs Show - December 2019 One hour of delights for you this month, we couldn't resist playing another track from the Alice Hubble album but we also have loads of marvellous acts you've probably never heard of, including Lijo, Marlenarium, Moondrive71 and Strange Weather. Linda Guilala and The Barbarian Horde return with recent top tunes, we play something from the new Fabienne Delson album and by keeping the chat concise, we even manage to squeeze in the fantastic Paul Rooney. Unhinged as ever, watch out for the ghost of Christmas past! | ||||

| Gareth Jones - December 2019 It's the most wonderful time of the year, and I've got a bumper 3-hour bulging sack of Christmas goodies for you. There are several surprise guests popping up throughout the show who have recorded special festive messages. I won't reveal who they are though, you'll just have to listen in! Plus along with Mark Whitby this month, I'll be bringing you five tracks from 'A Very Cherry Christmas Vol.14', the Indie Christmas compilation CD released by Cherryade Records. It includes a cracker of a new Christmas song by Arrest! Charlie Tipper featuring our very own Rocker on his big Christmas organ. This month's edition of 'Secret Songs from the Sixties' contains two cuts from the compilation CD 'Merry Luxmas, It's Christmas In Crampsville! - Season's Gratings From The Cramps' Vinyl Basement', released on the Righteous label through Cherry Red. For those who don't eat turkey, there are 3 Vegan Christmas songs. You'll also hear Christmas songs sung in French, Russian and Spanish plus all styles of Christmas music, from Hip-Hop to Bluegrass to Gabba to Punk. And if you want to hear more, I'm DJing 12 hours of non-stop Christmas songs for charity on Friday 13th December (unlucky for me!). Please donate if you can.

| Rocker - December 2019 A two hour show from Rocker this month, starting with his entirely unbiased and balanced (in the BBC sense of the words) election special. There's new music from Jetstream Pony; Sissy Space Echo & the Invisible Collaborators; AJJ; Keys; Ducks Unlimited; Ekkoes; Fresh; Peel Dream Magazine; The Bitter Springs; Comet Gain; Thick and More Kicks. Electronica is provided by Squarepusher; Petar Dundov & Marc Romboy; Blackrachas and The Phenominal Handclap Band remixed by Superpitcher. This month's Educating Elizabeth record is a new release on the Dunham record label; while this month's Rocker's Shellac Attack is a classic French recording from 1947. As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: Anhedonia is a psychiatric condition, the inability to feel pleasure in normally pleasurable activities. | ||||

| Sean Hocking - December 2019 Here again already, December! 2019 might have been awful for most things, like, our planet, freedom of speech, our fellow species and so on and so forth. But, as any alternative music lover knows the rule of inverse reasoning applies when it comes to great new music and shit years. The worse it is out there the more we get great quality tunes, bands and weird sounds. Before we get to this month I'd just like to say thank you to the following for immeasurably improving my year via their audio output. Craven Faults, Gino & The Goons, Modern Nature, Bob Vylan, The Proper Ornaments, Sports Club, R.M.F.C, Kevin Morby, The New Art School & Occult Character amongst a host of others. It is also worth mentioning that introducing the 17 year old and pals to the live delights of Underworld & The Chemical Brothers put a big smile on my face. Talking of smiling, watching Iggy do his thing at the Sydney Opera house is one for the photo album as they used to say in the 20th century. That's enough revelling in nostalgia, let's get on with what's new and worth listening to in December. Another 4 hour show from me this month and we've got a great new 12" from Pye Corner Audio, Neil Young's new album, Colorado, is a joy, Perth outfit Verge Collection, have finally released their debut and unsurprisingly it's worth its weight in gold. US band Palehound have released a heartachingly good single entitled, "Autumn Sweater" and Bristol's Giant Swan eventually release their debut. Last year the Idles finally popped out of the pubs and into the imagination of festivals and bigger halls, let's hope Giant Swan do the same in 2020. There's lots and lots of new sounds on the show but we would also advise taking a closer listen to hip hop artist, Jeremiah Jae. His DJ Shadow, meets Kool Keith, the Avalanches and Kendrick Lamar aesthetic has me hooked. Thanks for listening to Ring of Fire and Dandelion in 2019. Looking forward to bring you the newest of 2020 next year. | ||||
