John Peel
Today is the anniversary of John Peel’s last live broadcast, and BBC are marking the occasion, as they did last year, with a day of broadcasting dedicated to Peel. Which basically I hope means a day of not pissing about having inflatable ego fighting contests, and concentrating on playing decent music - things Peel managed with effortless ease all through his career, but something which, alas, apparently requires his death for the rest of Radio 1 to be able to manage once every 365 days.

In the spirit of the occasion, I will be unearthing lost gems from my music collection. I absolutely won’t listen to any albums that last.fm reckons I’ve played in the last 6 months, and hopefully I’ll be able to fill an entire day with songs I’ve bought or acquired somewhere along the way but have so far left languishing at the bottom of piles, never to be heard. I’ll remove any shrink-wrap I find. It’s going to be a great day.

You can see what I’m listening to all day over on the right of the page.
