>John Peel has been instrumental in providing exquisite entertainment, expanding my musical horizons and driving me down the slippery slope to insolvency for going on for 40 years.

He still does.

Just happened to be listening to Bayern 2 – NPR sort of, we get it on cable – a week after his untimely passing and he was suddenly there in the room.
Too slow to record it and BR2 isn’t too clued up on podcasts or “Listen again”, so here’s a recreation of the set.

It’s choice. Don’t know when the interviews were recorded, though.(And I haven’t got them anyway)

Hana – Asa-Chang & Junray – Lost for Words
Cars – To Rococo Rot – The Amateur View
Teenage Kicks – The Undertones – John Peel – A Tribute
Give It Away – Zero 7 – Simple Things
The Way It Is – Laura Cantrell – Not The Tremblin’ Kind
Children of the Revolution – T-Rex – Cosmic Dancer
Walking Barefoot – Ash – Intergalactic Sonic 7″s:The Best Of Ash
Haus Der Kunst – F.S.K. – Unter Unserem Himmel 3
Micromanaged – To Rococo Rot – Veiculo

And an extra treat from Fabric Live 07 – “Hana” as a backdrop to a 1981 magic moment for Liverpool.

Enjoy
