Happy

[Les Miller]

Well, I suppose that's just because he plays what he wants. It's the same with
Blur and the fact that he is looking forward to playing the new single.

Anyone know anything about the Kersland Sound System which was on the show a few
weeks ago?

This has always been my main criticism of Peel as well. I can
tolerate the rap and bleepy stuff (in fact I've been starting to
enjoy some of it myself) as it's slightly leftfield in the same way
as the other stuff he plays, and it ain't gonna get played on many
other shows, but the Bluetones??! To me that's Evening session
music and gets far too much airplay as it is. Is this just the indie
snob side of me showing through, or do other listeners also feel that
he's wasting valuable airtime when he plays those bands?

how many more frames before you realise
the painted airhead just doesn't suit you
