On my show this month:
An hour long show from X-Ray this month. There are new tracks from, for example, Daft Punk and Vincent Neil Emerson . There are tracks from 2022, such as the wonderful Bury Me In My Shoes from the marvellously named London-based group TV Priest ... As well as this and more, there are classic avant-garde tracks from CAN and a long-since-forgotten fabulous track by Yoko Ono . All finished off with a Punk Christmas track. For those whose toes are feeling frost-bitten, or whose fingers are numb, and for those who are missing those crazy never-ending poetic sunsets of springtime, this is an X-Ray Moon stocking filler that will butter your toast, mash your parsnips, pull your wishbone, tickle your funny bone, give the dog a bone, and roast your chestnuts (don’t fall asleep too close to the fire Uncle Barnacle). Pull your crackers, unwrap your satsumas and enjoy an hour of Christmas-cakey-style grooviness from X-Ray Moon, who wishes us all a good one! And says he’ll see us all again the other side of the festive season – in a hangover-recovered 2024. Have fun everyone!!!

Biography:
Music both old and new. My tendency has always been to be attracted to the 'different', the other, the subversive… something that in one way or another challenges authority or orthodoxy and somehow attempts to shape wider society. Whether that be Punk, two-tone, Krautrock, Rai… etc.
In addition to that though I quite simply enjoy discovering the new, the different and the strange. Sounds, voices and atmospheres from around this small globe we call home are what excite me...
Over the years I have lived in many different countries, and wherever I was John Peel was the background, for many years, that aurally lit-up my adventures. He so perfectly reminded us that the quality, importance and worth of something has nothing to do with its 'popularity', and more to do with how it breaks down barriers and makes the complacent feel uncomfortable. How music at its best can be so much more than just a wallpaper-friendly pop song. So, then, eternal thanks to John Peel, who helped mould many of us…
Plus, thanks for listening. It is a great pleasure and joy to bring these shows to you; I hope you enjoy what you hear.
