Here's another person you should know,
DJ John Peel. If you don't, take
a look at the short video below. It'll give you an idea of why he what
he was all about. (A bit of a warning here: seeing Mark E. Smith of
the Fall
interviewed is kinda sad.) One important thing was that Peel actually
listened to demos, and he
played them. Just watch the video. Meet you in a few...
So today's big deal is actually the Peel archive, which, beginning on
May 1st, will be posting his record collection, at the rate of one
alphabetical group a week. The bands that begin with "A," were posted
on May 1st. So, as of today I know that Peel preferred Abba's Voulez
Vous over Arrival. That's were we differ. I prefer the early Abba
stuff. I can overlook that. To stream his stash, you have to sign up for Spotify, so take that as you will. But there's other stuff too: Peel
Sessions, on air dialogue, video, and what not. So, it may be
something to look into. Here's the link: the Peel Archive.
