Dandelion Radio

[djsilverheels]

It's great that there is another Peel-inspired music source out 
there - and such a diverse one. Do other readers of this group agree 
with me that since Peel's death, there might be more to be said for 
continuing his search for new and exciting music, than on trying to 
track down a Delta 5 session from 1979? Not that I'm not up for 
that, it's just that Peel seemed to be all about new music, rather 
than nostalgia. Dandelion Radio will be a great contribution to that 
side of things.

The only thing I wish was that it could be available as a podcast - 
something I wish Marcelle could do with Another Nice Mess. Listening 
at the computer is not always easy.

Do others on the list realize there are loads of Peel-inspired 
podcasts available on-line? These have been keeping me going for 
months, and are often exceptionally good. If you want 
recommendations I sincerely think Peel would be proud of can I 
suggest

The Contrast Podcast (contributions from music bloggers & podcasters 
from all over the world) - 1 hour weekly
http://www.timyoung.net/contrast

Short Attention Span Radio (Peel would like this) - 45 mins 
fortnightly
http://sasradio.blogspot.com/

The Yank Sizzler (What Peel apparently called American tracks he 
like - from Kansas) - 1 hour about fortnightly
http://theyanksizzler.libsyn.com/

Not Your Usual Bollocks (excellent, London based, fronted by a Kiwi, 
but regrettably becoming less frequent than the original weekly 
show) - 1 hour
http://notyourusualbollocks.squarespace.com/

Brentwood's Only Alternative - new from Essex, 1 hour, but great 
music choices.

There are others (there is a massive Scottish podcasting scene which 
you may already know about) ask if you want more recommendations, 
podcasts are the way forward), but if anyone on the list is looking 
for more to supplement their listening, these fan-based jobs might 
be worth a listen. For my part, I'm grateful to Phil for providing 
another new source (but can you do a podcast of it too?!)
