Andrew Morrison - February 2020 Andy's two-hour February show was inspired by conversations with friends on the topic of our ten favourite albums of the last decade. Struggling to narrow it down to just ten, Andy's ended up with a list of 25, which prompted the theme for this somewhat indulgent show. Andy counts them all down in reverse order by featuring one track from each - several of which he's never played before; the remainder you'll not have heard on air for quite some time. Without giving too much away, just a small handful of acts whose albums appear in this list can be revealed as Slowdive, Lust For Youth, Paul Draper, The Crimea and These New Puritans. Be sure to listen in to find out all 25! | ||||

Gareth Jones - February 2020 After taking a break in January, I'm back on Dandelion in February with 2 packed hours. To mark Valentine's Day, there's a song about failed relationships courtesy of The Just Joans and a Welsh song called 'Cariad' from Ani Glass. We also get political with a song dedicated to Boris by Cabinet Of Millionaires teaming up with Zion Train and a song dedicated to Nigel Farage by Jonny Brownbow. There's a tribute to Neil Innes with tracks by Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and The Rutles plus cover versions of their songs by Frank Sidebottom and Shonen Knife. Following the news that Billie Eilish will be recording the next Bond theme, there's a cover of 'Goldfinger' sung in Portuguese and a rejected Bond song by Pulp.. All this plus 'Secret Songs from the Sixties', the return of 'Soundtracks of the Strange' and brand new releases by Juniore and The Ghost Wolves amongst others. | ||||

Leo Gilbert Again - February 2020 In Leo's two-hour February show, he plays a whole host of tunes released mostly in the month or two before the show was pieced together in January. He plays another excellent track from the new Dylan Henner EP, a brand new tune from New Zealand's Nadia Reid, an ultra-new song by Dan Deacon (the first on which he has sung in an untreated way), a very, very new track by The Innocence Mission, and possibly even newer is Holy Fuck's album, a song from which graces the show. Most surprising and intriguing song of the month goes to Rabbit Island and Nicholas Allbrook: listen and you'll see what Leo means. Aside from all of this strange-and-loveliness are tunes by iZem, Humanist and Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan, the now-defunct Punčke, a very disturbing tune by CIA Debutante and more noise from Special Request and HAAi. Balm for your ears comes courtesy of Alice Boman, Efterklang, The Innocence Mission and Julianna Barwick. And a whole lot more. Dive on in ... plus another whole show. | ||||

Pete Jackson - February 2020 As well as Pete returning from the wilderness to present his first proper show in months, there's loads of artists he's fond of coming back from some time off too. Expect to hear great new things from The Blue Giant Zeta Puppies (in a new collaborative project), Dementio13, Cornershop, Dead Sea Apes, Revbjelde and the mighty Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs. There's also lots of new tunes from artists we haven't played here before, like Gladys Lazer, Billy Brillantine and Fly Pan Am, as well as Finnish blues rock, raunchy Swiss electro-pop, groovy Somalian disco and a couple of awesome re-issues from The Chasms and Gong. | ||||

Rocker - February 2020 Two hours from Rocker this month, with an exclusive debut session from Bristol psych-rockers Rauschenberg, and new tracks from Jetstream Pony; Seablite; The Flatmates; The Just Joans; Jez Lowe; Jeanines; European Sun; Dark Thoughts; The Drain On The Balcony; Darren Hayman and The Total Rejection. There's electronica from Marc Romboy remixed by Ben Lukas Boysen; Martin Buttrich and Space Motion gives a new twist to a classic by Silicone Soul. This month's Educating Elizabeth record is a 1966 release from the sadly recently departed Lorraine Chandler while this month's Rocker's Shellac Attack finds one of the original rock'n'rollers in a mournful country mood in 1958. As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: The magic power of joy re-unites all that custom has divided, all men become brothers under the sway of its gentle wings. A little sexist but you get the idea. | ||||

Thomas Blatchford - February 2020 Thomas comes at you in February from an Australia that is mostly on fire, charred dust and smoke in the very air, the midnight chimes of the Doomsday clock due to strike midnight long before Big Ben will, and uh ... fancy listening to some records? In this month's lark-filled double-hour Thomas lays a virtual flower for both Norma Tanega and Neil Innes; has a slew of reissues to get pumped about from Lightning Bolt, Katawa Singers and P.H.F.; urges you to consider recent albums by Ostraaly, Diploid and DJ Speedsick; plays the then-current #1 in the Official UK Singles Chart (physical version); and spins several tracks released to raise money for bushfire relief efforts.
