On my show this month:
A three hour programme from X-Ray Moon this month. As always, a mix of old and new – mainly new. He says that he's discovered that the '3s' seem to provide a gold seam of anniversaries: 1963, 1973, 1983, etc., which he commemorates with the playing of some old classics, and some long-since-forgottens.
Once again he is attempting to use brushstrokes that are broad in his choices of tracks; with tunes and artists from, for example, Algeria, France, Australia, England, America (USA), Canada, Cymru (Wales), and Scotland, and quite possibly more.
And the type of music? Well, X-Ray Moon states that were there to be a revolution tomorrow he would hope that some of these chosen songs would provide the soundtrack... (not all, but definitely some).

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 authodoxy 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.
As a final wee comment I'd like to thank my friend over in the hills there for putting together and sorting out all the technical stuff for me… Cheers matey!
