Nicely produced, considering the sonic extremes presented and analysed. Probably repeats soemetime this week - you could check bbc.co.uk/worldservice/schedules if interested. Could this have been produced just for BBCWS or was it plucked from a domestic network? And on another matter did anyone wince last week when Mary Anne Hobbs began her mandatory chat with Peel by saying "John I know you hate all my shows." John only denied this for a second then diverted into a discussion about a technical problem. tom in atlanta, sick of both George W Bush and Al W Gore From frances@...

[Sundays 2215-2300 UT] Kershaw joins main presenter Lucy Durán with news updates and reviews of new releases, making his debut on October 1. Also appearing on the show is Brazilian Bebel Gilberto, following Yousso N'Dour's appearance on the first show. It will be the first time Kershaw has been heard on the Beeb since his popular late night Radio 1 roots show was abruptly dropped by Radio 1 boss Andy Parfitt, triggering an outcry by folk and roots fans and even a debate in the House Of Commons. Other forthcoming guests on World Routes include Cesaria Evora and Emil Zrihan (October 8), Mark Tully talking to Ravi Shankar (15), Sabri Brothers (22) and a preview of this year's Kora Awards (29). Other regular contributors include South Asian music specialist Jameela Siddiqi, Colombian Juan Carlos Jaramillo and South African musician Eugene Skeef. From nickschad@...

What I was wondering was whether "you who tape loads of shows" people would be interested in swapping summer recordings, be it in the form of a complete show, some sessions or a compendium of stuff for a copy of 2 `Peel Out in the States' Cd's that have come into my hands. They've both got 2 30-minute shows recorded in 1993 for broadcast on US college radio. I could furnish you with track listing's if you wish. Don't know if this sort of thing would interest any of you but as someone who didn't start listening to the show until a couple of years later I find them kinda interesting listening + some good music to boot. I've just recently become minidisk capable so I can send it on minidisks or cassettes depending on what you want. Anyway mail me off list if you're interested. Thanks, Kevin. From stuff1424@...

I seem to remember hearing them for at least a few years on Peel, with no noticeable impact anywhere else, and now they're everywhere. Anyone got the PJ Harvey album yet? Or the Hefner (is it out?). Being a Shifty Disco loyalist I've recently got the Nought and Pluto Monkey albums. I'm enjoying Pluto Monkey, more than I ever enjoyed any Dawn Of The Replicants but then they were never quite odd enough for my liking. I've only heard bits of the Nought so far - the good bits are great but some of it's a bit jazz. Andy From troche@... Wed Oct 25 04:32:38 2000 From: troche@...

I agree with this completely (apart from the richly detailed bit) as regards post Barafundle (1997) stuff. Extremely boring, on the whole. But for earlier records, I couldn't disagree more. Bwyd Time ('95) is one of the records of the 90s, and Tatay ('94) is great too. And I don't think anybody who's heard Tatay could accuse it of being "carefully rehearsed." But then they moved from Ankst records, and left their producer Alan Holmes. Made one good record (Barafundle; thoough it's much more sober than earlier stuff) then went all crap. And if I'd seen them last night, I would have fallen asleep, I think. Seems to me that the only interesting bands in Wales any more are SFA and Tystion, but there's a lot of stuff I don't know, of course... LP From festive50@...

Bwyd Time has some great stuff on it but it's a patchy album. Barafundle is a lovely album and Spanish Dance Troupe is also great. They do have a tendency to ramble a bit these days though, the live set this week was an example of that. I got to like Hefner after a lot of initial difficulty with the singing. I don't think they offer anything particularly new but they have some great songs. The new album seems to show their limits though, it sounds like more of the same going by what JP's played.

Bwyd Time has some great stuff on it but it's a >patchy album. Yes, I suppose it is patchy. I might have gone over the top there with the record of the 90s thing. But whatever Bwyd Time might be, dull and monotonous it ain't. Hefner I'm fed up with. Liked em at first, but can we have something different now, please? I was quite looking forward to the Gene session next week until I realised that somehow, I'd been thinking that Gene were Ganger. Which they most certainly are not. LP From mozy@...

Idioteque and Everything In Its Right Place especially are just so so good. I'm not a rock kid down the front but I could only describe Clinic as OK. -- Jan From troche@...

In-Reply-To: <972674607.9174@egroups.com> Message-ID: Melt Banana here last night - 3rd time I've seen 'em. The songs are getting a bit longer now, some are 3 even 4 minutes; I rather prefer the dozens of under-a-minute songs from shows past (e.g new CD has about 13 songs, previous CD about 30.) Still, absolute frantic mayhem like I've never seen in 25 years of concert attendence - microsecond-precise, enthralling, life-affirming, eardrum destroying. Arrived with a cassette dub of their live Peel session show from 5/99 to give them if they'd not been able to hear it. I buddied up to the bass player and she said they'd heard the session tape only, but not until the that tour was over and they were in Japan. But they have not heard the whole Peel show, and were keen to get the tape martinw had originally made to play in their van. I attached my card to it and told them to e-mail me... she said yes, she would send me "many information." After the show I met them all, I was already knon as "tape man", they gladly all signed a "Teeny Shiny" poster and gave me a MB button that was all in Japanese. Found out later it says "I Kill You." tom
