| Andrew Morrison - May 2022 Andy's two-hour May show includes new music from Temple Invisible, Birds In The Brickwork, Wet Leg, Fake Empire, Peter Talisman, Stereoskop, Zouj, Paul Draper, ARXX, Daniel Maunick, Andy Bell, Ditz, Phelimuncasi, Telefís and Sally Dige. A Certain Ratio appear as this month's Andy's Old Chestnut with a long forgotten but slick Frankie Knuckles 12" house mix from 1989. There's a rare example of a cover version that's better than the original with Sjöblom taking on Alphaville. Plus I've deemed Georgia's entry for this month's Eurovision Song Contest from Cirus Mircus artistically credible enough to be worthy of a spin here on Dandelion Radio. Also listen in to find out if you were the lucky winner of April's competition giving away Tired Cossack's debut album 'Hocus Pocus' on cassette - and to be in with a chance of winning his 'Selo EP' on tape. | ||||

| Gareth Jones - May 2022 Gareth's May show is guaranteed to be a bit Marmite because it's partly dedicated to Eurovision! You'll hear 3 entries from this year's contest, plus some unofficial Eurovision songs from The Divine Comedy and Neil Innes. There are also two forgotten Eurovision classics from '66 - '67 in 'Secret Songs from the Sixties'. But if Eurovision isn't your thing then don't worry, because there's plenty of other music too including new offerings from Hull poet Jodie Langford, Ska collective The Slackers and cult legend Momus. Then the 2nd hour features singer-songwriter Gavin Osborn taking part in another edition of 'Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue', plus hear two tracks from new album 'Scrolling Home' with his band The Comment Section, recently released by My Little Owl Records. | ||||

| Mark Whitby - May 2022 Another new compilation from Thomas Imposter is always something to celebrate and invariably reason to choose it as our featured compilation, which is what we've done. We've also got tracks from excellent new albums by Chocolat Billy. Legless Crabs, Guerilla Toss and, naturally, Wet Leg, among others. It's great to welcome the excellent Town Bike back onto the show for the first time in far too long, with one of three releases from the Wiaiwya label. There's also new stuff from The Rusty Nutz, Snakeskin Shoe Review and Novelistme, a cover from the recent Black Midi EP and, of course, another track from that Half Man Half Biscuit album. Again, we Peel Back... to things that were happening in the more productive territories of Radioland fifty years, forty years and thirty years ago this month and there's also a Peel Session track culled from the wonderful new Cherry Red Theatre Of Hate box set. | ||||

There's the first release in a long time from Loop, (sort of) new stuff from Suicide and Sonic Youth, virus-bashing dub from King Jammy, and Black Midi take on King Crimson - and win! We also have dub from Ukraine and Uruguay, hard bop from post-war London, funky rare grooves from Africa, tech-house from Tibet and more in-the-red garage noise from Detroit's amazing 208. | ||||

| Sean Hocking - May 2022 This month, the merry month of May! I've found some extra time to bring you a 3 hour show. It starts with the saddest news, the death of The Saints frontman, Chris Bailey. It's worth remembering that one of the most punk of punk band came out of Brisbane in the early 1970's. They might not have dressed a la McClaren but their sound defines punk as much as the Pistols, Clash, Stooges, Television et al. They were also the real DIY'ers pressing I'm Stranded themselves and mailing the sevens around the world to an unsuspecting international music press. They really were the best and we start the show with the classic rendition of Nights In Venice from their 1977 Paddington Town Hall gig where Kuepper's guitar sounds years ahead of its time. You might have guessed I'm a Saints fan! From a similar time line we also feature an early Devo recording, another band eons ahead of everybody else in the early 70's and an Adam & the Ants demo pre Dirk Wears White Socks. Ok, let's come back to the present. By all rights I shouldn't still be playing Wet Leg songs at this stage of the game but who can resist a song about being too high in the supermarket, not me. We've also got the fast and furious Gobs from Olympia Washington state, the new single from Sydney duo Party Dozen who I popped down to see for the second time last week. I think they are one of the best new outfits on the planet and able to make a noise like Raw Power era Stooges with just loops, drums and a saz. Those smart people at Sub Pop have signed and I have a feeling they won't be regretting that decision. From metal postcard we've got an unlikely pairing, that of Aliens who we released late last year and London based producer DJ Pitch getting together for 4 remixes of the Aliens 40lbs of Air Album. Both have a peculiarly English sound coming from entirely different perspectives but together I think the results are rather magical ... not quite XTC meets Burial but verging on that territory. Also new on this month's show San Fran based Bronze with a fab release on John Dwyer's (Thee Oh Sees) Castleface records, Penxa Penza out of Lithuania, a new one from Sports Team and Dallas based Mattie whose 21st century neo R&B/soul has captured my ears. A few oldies sprinkle the show too but I'll let you discover those yourself. | ||||
