[peel] Festive 50 - Immortal Lee County Killers

[diane farley]

Now.. you see... put like this in answer to my original question .. I can 
see your point... perhaps I was wrong... it's just that events like Immortal 
Lee County Killers at Maida Vale is a one off that only really happens on 
John's show and what makes it so special... and this comes back to the other 
point, that if the final summary is just a collection of 'white boys playing 
guitars' - NOTE: This also reminds me of the NME new bands to watch feature 
a few weeks ago: 10 bands 50 white boys in a big spread.. and not ONE girl.. 
sorry, back to my point.. I am sure that a lot of people's knowledge of 
Peel's show is just a yearly glance at the Festive 50.. .. god, now I'm 
realising that ILCK are white boys with guitars... sorry.. I've come back to 
the independent minded .. Because it was my highlight of the year I might 
just vote for three songs from that session...

Independent mindiness rules...
