Peel show classic. Reminds of staying up listening to the radio with the cassette player at the ready and being very tired the next day at school.

Always different, always the same:
John Peel introduced me to the wonders of Man or Astroman? and I shall always be grateful
john peel got me into all these:
something a bit different, but heard first on Peel
Ah, brill thread! I shoulda started it yesterday when I found this. (check the intro)
Cheers Nick. Apparently I still know all the words to [i]Where's Captain Kirk?[/i]. Forgotten all about that one.
Trumpton Riots! Awesome 🙂

ace thread Picto, just for that I'll buy the cake tomorrow!
Garry Lager...a Fall fan and new friend? 😉

Synth time!

I was having a listen to these (in the true spirit of Peelie I only normally listen to new stuff, but these guys still sound good)
and live!
Remember being blown away when the great man played this too
seeing as The Birthday Party has been done, I'll go with this

Night of Peel wouldn't be right without a bit of dub

Not a Peel show without a bit of Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle
Makes me cry remembering this song, Peel playing it and my life changing for the better
A hot day, the smell of hairspray
And the sound of a shower running softly
It's things like this that remind me of how I felt
The first time you came back for coffee

I love this thread.
I miss John Peel.
A little bit of radio died with him.
fuzzbox- just done a little wee with excitement 😀
I love Vix
Hmm, a stroll down memory lane. I have a blast first boot cassette for the sonic youth 'feed the fall' session from, oh 87 or 88. Just a tape of the nights show. Phenomenal. I loved the man.
Thanks to kayak for that Peej vid. I love it, been in a real pj groove of late and this pops up quite often. 😀
It saddens me that my kids will never have a John Peel
You are welcome Taz.
Ah this mortal coil superb, always liked:
Last one from me.
They played this the day John died, I cried and it still chokes me up
Nice thread picto 😀

Spent most of my early 20's picking up on stuff from him, one of my fave tracks from the Cocteau Twins as I loved anything a bit dark
Number one in the 1982 all time festive 50 (atmosphere already posted number 1 in the 2000 all time ff.
There will [b]never[/b] be a time when John Peel is not king 🙂
sadly under rated
And now for something a little odd 😉
Ooo that is odd. Chameleons - inspired.

John Peel Show October 1980. "Heartland".
Absolutely immense record - and a Festive Fifty winner, IIRC.
loved the festive fifty, used to stay up late trying to record it on a C90 - even got the original Geek Love on 12" in the attic somewhere, as well as these
