One or two features, including some images, linked to this site may not be working at present. This is due to one of the servers I use at The Planet becoming bored with it's lot having to sit around all day re-routing traffic and answering database enquiries, deciding instead to have a go at catching fire to see how that might feel. Apparently it felt pretty good and soon word got around the

A Peel A Day: Yup there's a new kid in town with plenty of John Peel files to download. Make room in your bookmarks for A Peel A Day. Over to Chris... "I've just unearthed about 8gb of Peel shows that I recorded direct from DAB around 2002/2003. They're mostly complete shows with a few partial ones where the radio connection died - quality is generally pretty good. I've set up a blogspot blog

Missing/Deleted Files: As many of you will have no doubt noticed, a number of Peel links have gone A.W.O.L. Some claim, "Uploader has deleted file", or words to that effect, but I would think the truth might be that Andrew's RS account has elapsed. He'd hardly delete them himself. Though this has happened before now as I recall. If you need assistance in any way Andrew please let me know buddy.

On BBC Radio 2 this Friday at midnight this seminal group play live in session. Is this news to you? It is to me. I had no idea they were a going concern once more. According to Wikipedia, "In 2007, The Sonics reunited again, this time for the Cavestomp garage rock festival in Brooklyn (November 2-4, 2007).

I didn't intend this to be a proper posting but such is the conversational style of my writing it's already become too long to be contained in a single paragraph. Apologies once again for the lack of activity here but I am devoting energy, what there is of it, to concentrate on recording my own work. I've invested a fair few quid over the years on my humble little studio and I need to prove,

Following today's news I just wanted to say that I hope Andy bounces back and doesn't allow anyone to use this against him in the petty way that some people seem to enjoy. I personally want to hear Andy Kershaw back on BBC Radio 3 doing what he does best. Please add your comments of support to let the boy Kershaw know that we miss him and want him back. And if the Beeb gets sniffy about

A.K.A. Here We Go Again This is one of those, "Oh bloody hell what's his problem now" moments. As such you have my full blessing to scoff, spit, laugh or generally ignore the following. Laughing would be my choice. I've got problems with my eyes, the upshot of which is that I'm limited to using the computer, or more specifically staring at the screen.

*Happy New Fuckin' Year? Were You Born Yesterday? I'm a contrary bugger and whimsical with it. Instead of continuing to post the reposts I've uploaded this Robert Smith show instead. I haven't abandoned the others. They will get posted. And if you're wondering where the reply to your email is, I'm sorry. I'm bad. I haven't dealt with any of them.

This will probably be the last post here for the Christmas holiday period. One of the reasons is to jump on the backlog of emails that require proper and considered replies. Also this 'new site' that I've hinted at once or twice isn't that far off. One of the biggest plus points is Browser compatibility. Most visitors to this site use a combination of Mac OSX, Windows XP/Vista or Linux with
