On my show this month:
As always, Moon provides us with an eclectic mix of a few older releases with some hot-off-the waxing new tracks.
We have a couple of sunny summer moments with The Stranglers and The Waterboys . We are introduced to an intriguing track by Sunset Rubdown with a second release from their first new album in fifteen years. As well as all of this there is an anomalous-sounding track by Section 25 , and a new version of an old track by Tom Waits ; and extraordinarily excitingly there is a new release by the superbly strange and conceptually naughty The Residents .
Happy September. X-Ray Moon 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.
