Festive 50:
Continuing a Christmas tradition started by the late broadcaster John Peel in 1976, an assortment of our DJs count down through the best 50 tracks from 2009. Voted for by listeners to Dandelion Radio, you can hear the full results of this legendary poll repeating every day from Christmas Day until the end of January, culminating in Rocker revealing this year's winner!

Festive Fifty Build Up Show:
Join a selection of Dandelion Radio DJs from 10pm to midnight GMT on Christmas Eve for this one-off, 2-hour Festive Fifty Build-Up show. They'll be introducing some of their picks of 2009 that didn't quite make it into this year's legendary listeners' poll, while warming up for the first play of 2009's results - and Santa's bulging sack coming down their chimneys!

Andrew Morrison:
Andy's December show features a specially recorded - and satisfyingly noisy - session from Dave Swain, along with new music from the likes of Lucas Renney, Sad Day For Puppets, Rival Consoles, Pope Joan, and Hyperdub Records. A couple of "Christmas moments" from The Flaming Lips and The Cocteau Twins bookend the 2-hour show, and you'll hear some exciting unsigned tunes including Damn Vandals, The Explorers and DeadDogInBlackBag. The icing on the Christmas cake is Andy throwing a rare technological tantrum complete with a comprehensive array of X-rated expletives. You have been warned! Also listen out for Andy appearing in Dandelion Radio's Festive Fifty countdown show every day from Christmas Day until the end of January, and the Festive Fifty Build-Up Show at 10pm on Christmas Eve!

Greg Healey:
An urgent start to a new show from a new DJ with a dollop of finest Belgian Electro Punk to celebrate the coming of Christmas. This kind of thing is not lined up in the windows of chocolatiers in the heart of Brussels for the delectation of European techonocrats. Though you might find them smearing such tasty treats on themselves in a back street away from the publics' gaze.
With mellow lounge vibes we continue until we are lifted screaming by the forelock into the stratosphere and beyond with an updated take on space rock from the far north of Europe. And so it carries on via glitchy electronica and ironic tuneful postdate europop with a catchy tune and a dark message.

Jeff Grainger:
Jeff's 2009 ends with a real CRASH (his PC) BANG (his foot on the PC) WALLOP! (PC hitting the wall). Yet still manages to retrieve a blinding 3 hour show from the wreckage. Return visits to his favourite sessions from the past 12 months (The Half Sisters, wolfram wire and The Stink Taps) with another chance to replay his personal highlights of '09 (Gaggle, Sonic Youth, BillyGoneBad, The Greenland Choir).
However the 180 minutes isn't all about wallowing in the past as there are some first time plays (A Life in Film, Liberty Vessels & Rosie Lugosi) and no less than 3 exclusive sessions by the rain bonnets, Rev Porl & Alisia Casper. Who each recorded an exclusive Christmas session -'tis indeed the season to be merry!

Marcelle:
The time to forget

December is certainly not Marcelle's favourite month: too cold, too dark, too Christmassy, too Santa Claussy, in short: too many boring, predictable Festivities!
To get her and the more curious listeners through this month she made an extra cutting edge show with the most unusual sounds from all over the place: weirdness from Belgium (Uské Orchestra), Germany (the durian brothers – making music on turntables without any records!) and Greece (ancient songs about drugs!).
There are more new tunes, from amongst others Jah Wobble, AGF, The Bent Moustache, Cyrus, Aardvarck, Mathias Schaffhäuser and Matt Shadetek. And schlachthofbronx, Anzala, Dolor, vélo and Wild Billy Childish make such a happy, joyful noise that you will almost forget that it is this time of the year!

Mark Cunliffe:
Well December has come upon us quicker than a dingo on an stray Mcendries* Kebab.....oh, no....hang on, that wouldn't be that quick at all.....dingo's like meat......
So anyway, what is there for you to get your teeth into on my show? Gideon Conn can offer you up a salmon medallion if you fancy and if you want to freshen your breath up afterwards then Boris Brejcha can offer you some Wrigley's with a difference. On matters away from the stomach Aidan Moffat is doing some DIY sewing which Qwel doesn't see the funny side of and leaves Boston Spaceships fundimentally flabbergasted. Scuba's all nostalgic and The Intelligence are talking about Katie Price no less. The Council Flats Of Kingsbury are living it up in Lyme Regis and Rob Threezy's gunna join them if he can. It's as The Spivs'll tell ya, It's True.....all of it....
*Derby's premier palace of gastronomy

Mark Whitby:
Mark's December show takes place in the unlikely setting of a house full of people. And what's more, they've brought seasonal gifts and exclusives aplenty for Dandelion listeners.
Look, there's Lord Numb in the corner, merrily pulling out old toenails hidden in the plum duff. And The Chasms, Alisia Casper and Spidersleg are a-carolling around an open fire, each with what might be a glass of eggnog, but, with a prankster like Dilithium Tourdes already up to his ears in festive spirit, it could be anything!
Elsewhere, wolfram wire regales us with the epic tale of the Christmas Tree while we sit, moist with anticipation (or is that a result of the eggnog?) as we count down my annual top ten of new bands who've had the good grace to contact me over this fine year. All this and lots of new stuff to play with too. God bless us one and all.

Matt Jones:
December and no mention of Christmas, just a series of shambolic DJ errors redeemed by the superb music that breaks up the chaos. The show includes new releases from the likes of Prince Kong, Degihuegi, ZXDK, mikus, Ottersgear, Predator Prey, Ben Frost, Tickley Feather, Nekkroteukh, Abby Lee Tee, Simptom Pogremushki and Ramadanman. We also have what appears to be an exclusive track from KNVB, courtesy of producer Titus Twelve. Enjoy in a festive way.

Pete Jackson:
Pete's December show brings festive fun for all, with a cracking new sessions from Manchester psychedelisists gnod in full-on garage mode, new and wonderous sounds from Zun Zun Egui, Crimson Death and Jello Biafra and The Guantanamo School of Medecine. Wooden Shjips testify about their heroes, and there's special Christmas treats from Goldblade, Captain Polaroid and Nosferatu D2, among others. Ho Ho and, if you will, Ho.

Rachael Neiman:
It’s the most wonderful time of the year here at Cherryade Towers so grab a mince pie, a glass of mulled wine and, whether you've been naughty or nice, join us for a Santa's sack of festive audio treats in December's very special Rachael Neiman Christmas Experience. Our 2 hour Yuletide special is stuffed with more seasonal audio treats than you can shake a candy cane at.
The gifts under our musical tree come from the likes of Das Wanderlust, Shrieking Violets, Doris and the jumpers, Allo Darlin', The 10p Mixes, Persil, Sparky's Magic Piano, The School, foxes, Priscillas, Betty Serveat, Asobi Seksu, Billy Childish and The Musicians of The British Empire, Pullover and many more super stocking fillers, beats novelty socks!

Rocker:
This month we have another packed three-hour show. There are new tracks from The Blanche Hudson Weekend, Socialist Leisure Party, The Wild Swans, Pants Yell!, Gregory Webster, Let's Wrestle, SWATHES, Calvin Party, Decibelles, Tricia Yates Fanclub, Brilliant Colors, and Beak>.
There's a featured album from Monster Island, and new electronica from Dominik Eulberg, Paul Kalkbrenner, Ucleden, and Giorgos Gatzigristos; also dubstep tracks from Joy Orbison, Ganja White Night, and Mala.
This month's Peel's Big 45 is a classic American psychedelic release from 1968, while this month's Educating Elizabeth is a current cover version of a Northern Soul classic from the same era.
Oh - and this show carries Rocker's "No festive records" guarantee.
As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: Blanche Hudson was the character played by Joan Crawford in the 1962 film "What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?", opposite Bette Davis. The two stars detested one another, and they never again appeared together in a released film. On hearing of Crawford's death in 1977, Davis has been quoted as saying "Joan's dead... Good".

Ste McCabe:
In my December show I present a bumper 2 hours of underground and forgotten noise to excite and inspire, and I defy you not to be inspired!
There's beautiful lo-fi pop from Internet Forever and Laura Wolf, 80's classics from The Go-Go's and The Sugarcubes, as well as insanity from the electro-poetry collaborators HT & OJ and bonkers punk-folk Scottish band Pusbunny.
For those feeling festive there's even a very special drunken-sounding cover of a Christmas classic from everyones favourite shouty ladies Hotpants Romance. Everything for the perfect grrrl-punk-queer-electro Christmas is here, so come listen!

Yank Sizzler:
Merry XMAS! And here on the Yank Sizzler show this month we launch into a randy, rough-housed, rambunctious 3 hour orgy of the best music that exists. New music from The Mantles, Boris, Thomas Function, The Mayfair Set, A Place to Bury Strangers, King Khan & BBQ Show and many more. There'll be classics from Alton Ellis, Black Randy, Baby Neal and The Smart Brothers and the Basement 5 amongst others. And as always, my charming, disarming wit. Some people refer to it as "Assholeness". Oh yeah! Merry Xmas!

It's Bjork's Birthday! Party Time!


Over the course of my life, there’s been only a few artists that really have affected me personally with their powerful and timeless music. I generally enjoy diverse music, including the likes of Radiohead, Queens of the Stone Age, Muse, Klaxons, Goldfrapp, Coldplay, Metallica, Arcade Fire, múm, Kings of Leon and even a few of The Beatles songs. But of all the music I’ve listened to, Björk has been the most influential on my life.


Before I had ever listened to Björk’s music, I thought she was just another strange female artist you occasionally hear in the media. But then one day I heard Hyperballad and that amazing music video that went with it, and I was hooked ever since. I then took the plunge, taking a risk on an unfamiliar artist, listening to more and more of her music and getting more and more hooked with each song. I then discovered that not only is she an ageless beauty, and so unique in personality, her entire life is consumed by music. And I’ve been consumed by her music ever since!



As Bjork celebrates her birthday today, I thought it’d be appropriate to list her top 100 songs of her glorious career thus far. Happy Birthday Bjork! and here's hoping to another 20 years of musical excellence. Of course this list is just my personal opinion, and some people rank songs more than others, but nonetheless:

20. Play Dead


19. Generous Palmstroke
A more heartfelt song. You feel like you're intruding into her thoughts with this one.

18. Storm
Off her Drawing Restraint 9 soundtrack, this is probably one of the most terrifying and haunting songs you’ll hear. I think this sums it up: "Björk's lone vocal soars in the chorus like the booming siren of a blue whale who suddenly realized she was the last of her species." Easily the best off her Drawing Restraint 9 soundtrack.

17.I Remember You
An unlikely choice, seeming as it is a Bjork cover. But this is a slow moving, touching love song that hits a nerve. “When my life is through, and the angels ask me to recall, the thrill of them all, I shall tell them… I remember you.”


16. Wanderlust
Off her most recent album, this is definitely one of her best efforts off it. Heavy Beats with some elctronic sounds combined with Bjork’s great vocals works well.


15. I Miss You
A slightly more hip-hop type song, but Bjork pulls it off again with a catchy tune and odd lyrics. “I miss you, but I haven’t met you yet.”


14.It's in Our Hands
“It’s in our hands, it always was”. Great track.


13. Hunter
A brilliant use of hard drumming beats makes this song completely, and is a slight change from her other music in tempo. “I thought that I could organise freedom, how Scandinavian of me.”


12. Venus As A Boy
With a quirky xylophone beat and lush strings, mixed with Bjork’s playful lyrics this song is one of her most catchiest and upbeat songs which was off her Debut album.


11. Harm of Will
A soft and touching song which relies on Bjork’s magnificent vocals and nice choir in the background.

10. Pagan Poetry
A sort of Japanese sounding song with it’s intro and parts throughout the song, but mixes with some great electronic beats to make a elegant and beautiful song. “On the surface, simplicity. But the darkest part of me is Pagan Poetry."


9. Desired Constellation
A song that you usually listen to alone, at night, or star-gazing. A moving melody background sound that was apparently made from voice loops making a bell type sound which suits the mood perfectly. It can’t be repeated, which makes this a great song along with fantastic lyrics. “With a palm full of stars - I throw them like dice, repeatedly…until the desired constellation appears...”


8. Bachelorette
A raw, powerful song featuring violins and pounding beats mixed with Bjork’s soaring vocals is a true treat to the ears.


7. Who Is It
A song that is beat-boxed (I didn’t even know the beats in this song were non-computer until I re-listened to it) entirely with no instruments sounds bad right? Wrong. A great song, and great lyrics. Possibly one of the strangest and cute music videos ever made which accompanies this song, which shows Bjork in a bell suit (yes you heard right) dancing with bell kids.


6. Aurora
“Goddess sparkle.” A heartfelt song that showcases Bjork’s sweet vocals but also has great help from a fantastic choir, and combined is match made in heaven.


5. Unison
Such a powerful song. An AMAZING use of Bjork’s vocals, as the song builds to it’s amazing climax along with the help of a beautiful choir.


4. All Is Full of Love
The top 5 are very, very hard. This song is purely amazing and touching at the same time, with it’s electronic melody and use of instruments combined with great lyrics makes it an elegant yet beautiful song.


3. Unravel
A song that has to be heard to be believed. “My heart comes undone, slowly unravels, in a ball of yarn”.Thom Yorke says it’s the most beautiful song he’s ever heard, and I’m not one to disagree! Strange sounding organs works brilliantly, the song is just another Bjork classic.


2. Hyperballad
A strong but twisted song about love that’s not easily explained. It’s about waking up early in the morning, being destructive, throwing small things off a mountain, and imagining what her body would feel like slamming against rocks at the bottom of the cliff, asking “And when I land will my eyes be closed or open?”, and then finally returning to her lover's arms in the morning as if nothing’s happened.


1. Jóga
Perhaps the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard. It’s a gorgeous song which not only showcases Bjork’s vocals but just how good music can be in Bjork’s hands. A masterpiece.


Note: I didn't use any The Sugarcubes songs. I highly recommend Birthday if you want to hear Bjork's vocals soar to unimaginable heights.

Mrs. Guðmundsdóttir said to Michaël Amzalag and Mathias Augustyniak, who interviewed her for the magazine Interview, that "She was traveling and recording on a boat in Guatemala".

So, after an experimental album (Medúlla) and the last one (Volta - that brought her on tour almost 18 months [2007-2008]): what kind of Björk would you'd like to hear on a new album?
I'm so impatient and I think you too, express your opinion :)
