X-Ray Moon

On my show this month:
X-Ray Moon will this month be edging us gently into the orange rusty-coloured soup of Autumn. Oh where did those heady days of summer disappear to?
But, there's no need to fret because Moony has us covered with a gentle easing into the sun-down times with new tracks from, for instance, Sprints; Eamon The Destroyer; Masala Coffee; and, Jumble Hole Clough.
For those leaf-falling (physically and metaphorically) pleasantly nostalgic moments, X-Ray Moon plays a few warm bath, candles and reassuringly buttery toast tracks with the likes of, The Raincoats; a rare David Bowie track; and, Pel Mel...
X-Ray Moon wishes shiny vinegar-soaked conkers to all.

On the show NEXT month:
This month X-Ray Moon has decided to mention words such as hot chocolate, marshmallows and toast – because 'eclectic' is his middle name ...
As far as music goes he has a quite extraordinary show for us this month. New offerings by Tortoise and Stereolab are both equally intriguing and great. X-Ray Moon treats us to the wonderful Small Grey Man by Uranium Club; Too Much Joy get a spin on the turntable, both because they are spectacular and because they are releasing a 35th anniversary edition of their second album, 'Son of Sam I Am', on the 31st of this month. And because of the sad death of Bruce Loose who died from a heart attack on the 5th September, X-Ray Moon has a dedication to the singer and the menacing darkness of the San Francisco punk group Flipper.
There are also tracks by The Lo Yo Yo; YHWH Nailgun; Jasper Byrne; Tropical Fuck Storm, and, as they say, so much – so so so much – so much much more, oh yeah.
X-Ray Moon wishes everyone a healthy, happy and peaceful October.
And hopes everyone enjoys his show.

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.
