Andrew Morrison: Andy's August show includes new music from
Martin Carr,
The Horrors,
Atomizer,
The Bobby McGee's and
The Steals as well as more tracks from the High Chai Recordings label. There's a timeless and dramatic movie theme tune by
Klaus Doldinger; Teresa's Tasty Tips and Scott's Funky Five Minutes; and the welcome return of no less than three features: The Orchestra Hit Liberation Front, Andy's Old Chestnut and Mr Discography's
New Order Jukebox. Unsigned tunes come from
Document 3,
Spidersleg and
Raw Milk, and there's news of the "Peel Legends" month Dandelion Radio has planned for October!
Marcelle: Length does matter!
In a five-programme special, lasting 14 hours and spread out over three different internet radio stations, Marcelle plays in alphabetical order acts with songs which last at least ten minutes. For Dandelion she plays bands whose names starts with M, R, O and P. Expect some krautrock, an anti-Bush dance track, some Eskimo-music, music out of a can and one of the two best Lancashire songs ever (The Fall being the other one).

Mark Cunliffe: While I've been away in Argentina there's been no let up in quality tunes. I've still been working hard from 6000 miles away to bring you the next Renée and Renato or Kajagoogoo.
To that end
Lethal Bizzle has been at the Viagra and
Zinc has done a Spectre on his Mission's. Doing in a speaker?? No wonder Michael Martin resigned .... dangerous ....
Tiny Masters Of Today are being a bit boastful, they're at that age.
Broken Rules are maximising a non-minimal sound ... which is a bit confusing. Why couldn't he just be satisfied with Just knocking out a good techno tune?????
Taxman & Heist have locked themselves in a butcher's walk-in fridge the chilly billy's ... they are no doubt envious of
Justin Adams & Juldeh Camara who find themselves warming up in the desert.
Tickles can't get pissed and
Professor D is throwing some mean shapes, you'll have to ask a mathematician to tell you how to work out the mean of some shapes I'm afraid .... Chopin delivers us a manic funeral and
6Blocc? I like you very much mate xx
Add to all this featured artist
Gappy Ranks then you have a show that'll rank up there with The Tweets Greatest Hits, just don't get into a flap with the anticipation ....
Mark Whitby: A full fifty tracks of aural pleasure are on our August menu for your delectation. Mull over the exclusive banquet provided by session guest
Slideshow Freak while perusing the many delicious side orders. Pre-release prime cuts include something from the forthcoming
Pocket Gods album, a side of refried
Kraftwerk courtesy of Dusseldorf’s
Vibravoid and some tough but highly appealing gristle from
Mr Bang On.
Nutritious alternatives include a spicy aperitif cooked up by
Babe Rainbow, quick but highly filling bites from
Nobunny,
Mario Kart and
The Zookeepers and a fully twelve inches of something chewy yet highly digestible from
Wet Hair.
Delight in the opportunity to Peel Back and Sniff some maturing delights from
Country Joe & The Fish and the
Detroit Cobras, while considering some of the alfresco beverages ahead of us at this year’s End Of The Road festival.
The dessert trolley contains a selection of old favourites such as
The Loves,
Health and
Llamatron.
All in all, so good you’ll no doubt want to vomit the whole lot up and consume it all again, which is why we’ve got
Dilithium Tourdes on hand with a sick bucket and a takeaway bag.
Pete Jackson: August has been known to bring an occasional heatwave, so Pete brings you a blistering two hours, including a scorcher of a session by
Captain Polaroid. We'll turn up the heat with roasty-hot new tracks from
Human Hair,
Calvery and
Thee Vicars, and remember summers past with
Bizzy B and
Public Image Limited. We can also play favourite summer tea-time game "What's that smell?" with possibly the oddest record ever made - is it
The Kaplan Brothers or is the mayonnaise on the turn?
Ste McCabe: Ste McCabe's second show for Dandelion Radio is a one-hour slice of joy from the best queer and female bands from the past and present, with fantastic records by current underground stars such as
Fever Fever,
Manda Rin and
Penny Broadhurst, and some underrated tracks from past artists such as
Fuzzbox and
Boy George thrown in for your delight. Lots of in-between ranting guaranteed along with some (probably unnecessary) feminist politicising.
Yank Sizzler: Here in Kansas, USA where the Yank lives, August is looked upon with contempt as temperatures and humidity soar into astronomical proportions, but like a fine glass of iced tea or a good strong deodorant, the music on the Yank Sizzler show will keep you cool and under control. I've got brand new music from
The Rural Alberta Advantage,
Ty Segall and Mikal Cronin,
UUVVWWZ,
Dosh,
Jookabox and
Dirty Projectors. And nothing will calm your summer nights like the stompin' tunes of
Andre Williams,
Pissed Jeans,
Harmonica Frank or the
Hippy Boys. So tune in and grab a big ol' slice of watermelon and tap the keg.
