A bunch of tunes i would have first heard on the John Peel Show 30 odd years ago so this is a kind of thankyou to Uncle John.
Top 3 Peel fuck up's from that era.
1.Playing entire song at the wrong speed.
2.Song finishes....silence.......more silence........even more silence...Peel-Oh it's finished!
3.Announce A side of song,get to the end and realise it was the B side.
I've heard him describe his "astounding incompetence" many times.The brilliant thing about Peel is he would play whatever he fancied and was pretty much given free reign.He introduced me to the kind of diversity which has carried me through the years.I've always found some music grabs you straight away,some you have to work your way into and some you're just not ready for yet.My rule is always keep listening and searching.There is more music than you have lifetime so grab it while you can.
