In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Zutons remind me of stuff like "The Beautiful South" and other pseudo-alternative bands ie lets make some money, baby. "Does this train stop on Merseyside" by Amsterdam was one of JP's fave songs in his latter years ; it is a very good song but I am biased being a Liverpudlian ! However, I must say that in real life, no "Scouser" would ask such a question. Merseyside includes Southport and St. Helens, both more Lancashire than L'pool. If I was on a train hoping it was heading home, the question would be " Does this train go to Liverpool ?" Train-wise, L'Pool is at the end of the line, it is not "en-route" to anywhere else. It's crazy, using "Liverpool" would sell more CDs as well, maybe they're big Everton fans (like me).

I even enjoyed DLT in those old days cos he seemed to genuinely love the music he played even though it was a bit too West Coast at the time. But the reason for mentioning DLT is I was listening to 6 Music the other day and they were playing a darts quiz - very cutting edge.

If you would rather listen to a collection of old Festive 50 tracks - then Andrew Morrison is playing 2 hours worth on his Dandelion Radio show this month. If you would rather live in the near past - then you can still vote for your 2006 Festive 50 at: http://www.dandelionradio.com/pages/festive50_poll_form.html Votes close sometime around Christmas Day and the Festive 50 show will be put together between Christmas and New Year for broadcast throughout January. England's Still Dreaming: 30 Years of Punk - on BBC Radio 2 Saturday 2nd December 2006 at 20:00 to 21:00 Steve Lamacq presents the first of two programmes examining the legacy of punk, focusing on 1976. By the mid-70s, the UK was experiencing economic meltdown, with lengthening dole queues and rubbish-strewn streets. In retrospect, it was inevitable that the music of the time would be dark, nihilistic and fuelled by an energized political anger. In New York, the music scene, built around CBGB's, was much more rooted in rock's rich tapestry and art school ideas and nowhere near as ferocious and dangerous as what was happening in Britain. The London punk scene, initially driven by Malcolm McClaren's clever posturing, was given the perfect psychodrama by John Lydon's fierce intelligence and neo-psychotic glare. The Sex Pistols were getting out onto the sleepy circuit, wrecking PAs and getting occasional column inches. The Stranglers were gigging around the country, trading punches with irate punters. In Bolton, the Buzzcocks read a paragraph about the Pistols in the NME and drove all the way down to London to search for the band. TV Smith was putting together the Adverts in Torquay. Everywhere punk rock was beginning to emerge and all these loose strands were beginning to coalesce around the Sex Pistols. McClaren noticed this and managed to place the movement behind his group. A generation of kids, let down by the government and disgusted by the Queen's Silver Jubilee, had at last found an expression for their discontent, a music that spoke back to them. With contributions from John Lydon, Malcolm McClaren, Mick Jones, Hugh Cornwell, TV Smith, Howard Devoto and Pete Shelley. The Story of Punk on ITV4 - on Sunday 3rd December 2006 at 21:00 to 23:00 Definitive history of punk rock which examines the US and UK origins of the music revolution that turned society, fashion culture and music on its head in the mid 1970s. Narrated by Robert Elms, with contributions from John Lydon, Glen Matlock, Bob Geldof, Tommy Ramone, Marky Ramone, Caroline Coon, Don Letts, Vivienne Goldman and John Savage. Sid and Nancy on ITV4 - on Sunday 3rd December 2006 at 23:00 to 01:10 Harrowing account of the decline of Sid Vicious, bass player with punk band the Sex Pistols, and his American girlfriend Nancy Spungen, charting their descent into heroin addiction and death. The stark tale captures the boredom, anger and desperate need for love that led to the pair's seemingly willful self-destruction. Director: Alex Cox Starring: Gary Oldman, Chloe Webb, David Hayman, Debby Bishop, Andrew Schofield, Xander Berkeley Jubilee on ITV4 - on Monday 4th December 2006 at 01:10 to 03:15 Director Derek Jarman's controversial portrait of early British punk which imagines Elizabeth I paying a visit to the future of her sceptred isle, with the aid of an astrologer and Shakespearean fairy Ariel. Somewhat overshooting the present, she finds herself in a land of chaos and decay in which the punks have inherited the Earth. Made in the year of Elizabeth II's silver jubilee.

Message-ID: <0J9R002GG2HE0RQ0@...> Folks, Firstly, the important stuff: Altrok Radio is at http://www.altrokradio.com Please remember to tune in whenever you can - every hour you listen turns into more visibility for the station; we show up higher in search listings, and such like that. And if you'd like to help us keep the stream running, check out the advertisers if they appeal to you; your interest actually helps fund us. By now you've noticed that Altrok Radio has commercials. You probably also realize that's a necessary evil - the commercials keep the cost of running the web station manageable. But what you may not realize (primarily because you probably stop paying attention the moment the commercials come on) is that there's also a subscription service that lets you hear Altrok Radio without commercials. That's your benefit, it's true, but there's another benefit - you help to directly support the station when you listen as a VIP member. Essentially, every minute you listen translates into money to keep the lights lit at Altrok Radio. There's no need to dig into your pocket change if you haven't got it to spare - to me you're a listener first and foremost. But if you do feel that ridding yourself of some filthy lucre would somehow make you a better person in some way, who am I to object? Here's the link to sign up (and I get a kickback if you use it, by the way): http://www.live365.com/rewards/pm?tag=muddychannel So there you go - again, it's optional, but oh, what an option...eh? This week, our Grinders (the stuff we play heavily) include music from: - The Grates - Cold War Kids - Middle Distance Runner - The Magic Numbers - Yes Boss - David Vandervelde Plus we've got newly-added music: - Neal Casal - Sleeping Pills In Stereo - Depeche Mode - Martyr - The Gossip - Listen Up [mstrkrft remix] - The Jealous Girlfriends - The Pink Wig To My Salieri - Little Man Tate - House Party At Boothy's - The Long Blondes - Once And Never Again - Milburn - Brewster (feat. Billy Bragg) - Mouthful Of Bees - The Now - The Ordinary Boys - Lonely At The Top - Protokoll - Sunken - Robbers On High Street - The Fatalist - The Shins - Phantom Limb - Whitey - Non Stop - The Wombats - Moving To New York Our Newly-Added Classics: - The Bigger Lovers - Threadbare - The Lyres - I Want To Help You Ann - Madness - Embarrassment - The Pretenders - Precious (Demo) - Lou Reed - Dirty Blvd. - Siouxsie And The Banshees - Happy House - The Sound - Contact The Fact - Super Furry Animals - Hello Sunshine - Wire - Three Girl Rhumba As always, thanks for listening! - Sean Carolan Altrok Radio On your computer now at http://www.altrokradio.com On the radio Fridays at 10pm, at 90.5 The Night From hubcity@...

Now then, in addition to the outstanding Altrok Radio music mix that got us an Editor's Pick nod at Live365 and at About.com, we've added features we know you'll like... Thursdays at 11:30am Eastern, Ferris O'Brien hops aboard the Altrok Radio signal to give you a taste of his approach to the world of alternativity. He's bringing you the overflow from his own SpyRadio showcase at Rock 100.5 The KATT in Oklahoma City, itself the lingering legacy of 105.3 The Spy, a legendary indie station in its own right that disappeared one night. No reason to quit just 'cause the station's gone, right? Then at 1:30pm Thursday you get to hear me showcase the new stuff we've added this week on the Altrok Radio FM Showcase. New stuff, classic stuff, and Jeff Raspe with his Altrok Radio Underground Pick Of The Week... And on Friday, it's Altrok's Eighties Friday: music from the eighties that mattered then AND now. An eight hour playlist that features some of the best that decade had to offer, drawing from all the music that was available at the time (yes, even from the seventies.) As if that weren't enough, Fridays at 11:30am you'll find two hours from DJ Shred's collection of classics and rarities, often as spun live from the booth at Luke & Leroy in the West Village, NYC. You'll be able to join her as she creates her next one at the club: DJ Shred at Luke & Leroy Friday, December 29th 10pm-Midnight (maybe earlier if the stars align properly) 21 7th Avenue South (between Carmine & Leroy Sts) West Village, NYC But for now - we've got songs to let you know about.

I also think people's general tendency is to find a few people whose taste they trust and check out their recommendations - us hunter-gatherers who like to actually comb through and find new and worthy music (and who should probably stick together, frankly) spend more time on it than the average listener would like to.� Though I'm noticing that people like to retreat into the cocoon of their iPod, I'm also noticing that after a time, that cocoon gets a bit stuffy and needs a good airing out, and I think that's what the folks who hang around here are well prepared to assist with. And so, if I were to vote, I'd vote for promoting challenge while never ignoring the legacy of the man who brought us here in the first place.

It is on at a very inconvenient time though and the listen again isn't the best quality Dandelion is very good indeed and has to be commended for using an mp3 stream that everyone can listen to, but it is a bit white for me. This isn't a criticism of the quality. It just means I still have to dig a lot of stuff out myself. I think some of the best music being made right now is Dubstep and Nujazz. Nujazz is a stupid term but there is no other to describe things like Pantone and their kind. Tom's Show is really brilliant. The hit rate for me wanting to get hold of things is very high, but, it is very short, even shorter than Yanksizzler and that is too short.

I agree completely - that's what really distinguishes Tom from the guff currently on R1: the man's passion for music of all kinds really comes across in his show. Like you (Adam) I usually only keep 1 or 2 tracks from the show, but that's a much better hit rate than I get listening to R1 or Mark Riley on R6 etc.. I strongly urge you (Colin) and anyone else who hasn't given it a go to download some of the shows.. forget about who his dad was, just listen to the music! graham > Not all to my taste but the so called "New" music progs on Radio 1 > play slow off beat stuff but with no real energy or back bone. > > If I heard 2-3 tracks on Peely's show I really liked I would consider it a good 2hr show.

I will really enjoy the broadcast and the reason I won't vote is the same reason I never voted on the original - I just can't narrow it down to a few tracks - my tastes are just too wide - everything from Lightning Bolt to The Coleman Brothers (new british jazz) My starting point was John's show but I went a bit mad, even getting into things like Cage and Reich.

While I'm more aping the style of the late, lamented FM106.3 here on the shores of New Jersey, it's no secret that our programming was in many ways influenced by John Peel's invisible hand (like Adam Smith's, but far less greedy.) That's the only explanation I have for our little US station adding Auto Da Fe's "All Is Yellow Hot Hot Hot", not to mention The Smiths' "Hand In Glove" when that was all they'd released so far. In fact, a mid-nineties interview with our own eventual music director Matt Pinfield (who would later become the odd man out among MTV presenters here in the states) pretty clearly states that Peel was guiding our choices unknowingly, as tapes of his show were getting over here and being listened to by all the right people. (Yeah, there was a time in the US when a small commercial radio station could use John Peel as an unpaid "consultant".) So, unlike Peel, I don't have nearly the resources of which he could afford himself, and I'm probably less immune to "hype", though I do have my breaking point. But I've still got Hyper-kinako and Vive La Fete in my playlist, and I feel pretty good about that. (I've even had live webcasts from my home, and it's a luxury my children definitely appreciate.) Now to do a Christmas show of my own... -Sean On Wed, 20 Dec 2006 10:15:12 +0000, Stuart McHugh wrote > hi > thanks for your understanding Sean.

(Paul Phillips) Date: Sat, 23 Dec 2006 11:04:06 -0000 Subject: Looking for tracks... Message-ID: Hi Folks, New to this group, so pleased to find a JP group out there in the WWW. I don't know if anyone can help, I'm trying to find some JP sessions by a Spanish band called The Unfinished Sympathy. They did two sessions, details below: 28 Oct 2001 * Nicorette Flies Came To Our Home And A Happy New Year Learning Imaginary Numbers 4 Dec 2003 * Prayers For Time * Convinced Lamarckist * Topographic * Teenage Kicks The cuts marked * are the ones I'm looking for - the story is I was in the car on the way home from the pub (not driving) listening to Peel and "Nicorette" came on and just blew me away. Soon as I got home I rammed on the reel-to-reel and recorded the rest of the show and got the remaining 3 cuts. Have never been able to get "Nicorette" though. The second session I just missed altogether. I know it's a long shot, but I thought I'd ask anyway.... Also, trying to track down a cut (probably a 7") by a band called Thinner, the song is "Greenland" and its probably on Capella Records. No other information, I heard it on JP some time in the mid-nineties ('94??). If anyone happens to know how I can track down this (or anything else) by this band I'd be mighty grateful.
