Andrew Morrison - October 2025
Andy's October show features an hour of great new music from The Micronaut, Kety Fusco, Simon Heartfield, Tracey, Blood Orange, Black Honey, R. Missing and more. In last month's Arab Strap special, Aidan Moffat and Malcolm Middleton mentioned a forthcoming digital and double vinyl release of 'Philophobia Undressed', a partially acoustic live recording marking the 25th anniversary of the original album. It was released at the start of September, and you'll hear a track from it in this month's show.

David Smith - October 2025
Greetings! This month we pay our respects to three more artists we recently lost: Bruce Loose of Flipper, Mark Volman of The Turtles and Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention, and Jim Kimball of Laughing Hyenas.
I have new tracks from Sexores, Pete Power, BRNDA, Láz, Dana, Allarme, Chini.png, Bleak squad, Dragnet, 10 Juin, Shagg Carpet, R.M.F.C., Pearly*, and more.
I almost forgot about Halloween, but I have a great Misfits tune at the very end.
I try to keep my in-show talking to a minimum to make more room for music, but I do have more to discuss about what I play, so check out my companion show notes over at https://davidondandelion.blogspot.com.
Enjoy the show!

Gareth Jones - October 2025
The first hour of Gareth's October promises to be a Halloween spooktacular. There's a terrifying tune from surf guitar ghoul band The Surfrajettes and two scary rarities produced by Joe Meek for 'Secret Songs from the Sixties'.
Plus guest hosts Rex Broome and Christina Bulbenko from Big Stir Records introduce three eerie anthems from their new compilation album 'Chilling, Thrilling Hooks And Haunted Harmonies'.
Meanwhile the second hour promises to be a Halloween free-zone with plenty of new releases, including very short songs from BB Bomb and a long song from Cardiacs. So join Gareth for two hours of musical tricks and treats.

Sean Hocking - October 2025
What have I got for you on Bottom of the Pops this month, lucky listeners? Lots and lots of new tunes.
For those of you that have listened over the years you'll know that I'm a fan of Durban specific sound Gqom. It's been a while since a producer has updated the sound so I'm very happy to say I've been led to Akiid who introduces Afro beats and some European flavours to the sound. Also a track off the debut by Berlin based Turkish producer Peki Momes is lighting up my life and I don't know who Dead Bob is but his Five Sacks of Phones tune has been on repeat play here.
Also loads of new releases by artists I've played before including Whitney K, The Bordellos, Blawan, Gorillaz and Bity Booker.
Looking back I've decided to jump into some personal favourites from the Bay State (Massachusetts) The Modern Lovers, Sunburned Hand of Man & Galaxie 500 amongst others.
Enjoy

Thomas Blatchford - October 2025
Now that Spring has sprung in this hemisphere the Thomas show is back, recorded on the day Robert Redford died, hence the opening song.
There's an old ditty from The Lovely Eggs that's about to be a new track on their forthcoming album Bin Juice, and a blast from the past from Pagan Wanderer Lu that's now ‘name your price' on Bandcamp.
Otherwise it's just new hotness from the likes of No Peeling, Problem Patterns, Baker Boy, Ov Pain and Optic Sink, plus the magnificent return of Crash The Superyacht!
