Message-ID: <0JNU00FCREJSDYO0@...> Folks, We're fresh back from a weekend that included a fantastic Melody Bar Reunion (see the previous post at our site for details) and, frankly, a lot of very nice weather here on the US East Coast. The batteries have been recharged a bit, so let's press 'play' and see what comes out... Online and offline, there are (as always) events... - Tuesday night, hit Ready Steady Go at Marita's in New Brunswick, NJ for a dose of the updated version of what we did at the Mel Reunion. It starts at 9pm, there's no cover, and the tracks are always great (but, of course, we're biased.) - Thursday at 11:30am and 9pm, catch our replay of the Altrok Radio FM Showcase right here at altrokradio.com (and catch the new one Friday night at 9pm over at 90.5 The Night.) - Friday, all day, it'll be Altrok's Eighties Friday, featuring the most relevant, least embarrassing bits of the Eighties. It all had to start somewhere, so it started there. - And this weekend, technology permitting, we'll be playing back the downstairs portion of the New Brunswick Melody Bar Reunion, as captured last Saturday live from the decks. Yeah, it *was* that good. Check the altrokradio.com page for details. The rest of the time, it's the award-winning Altrok Radio mix, including the newest tracks we can get our hands on and classics that informed their creation. Here's the rundown... This week, our Grinders (the stuff we play heavily) include music from: - Jacknife Lee - Digitalism - Brakes - GoodBooks - Dead Disco - Amy Cooper Plus we've got newly-added music: - Earlimart - Nevermind The Phonecalls - Foals - Mathletics - Jamie T - Salvador - Late Of The Pier - Space And The Woods - Liars - Freak Out - Los Campesinos! - Dont Tell Me To Do The Maths - LoveLikeFire - From A Tower - Misha - Weatherbees - Murder Mystery - Love Astronaut - Kate Nash - Mouthwash - Northern State - Better Already - The Polyphonic Spree - Section 22 [Running Away] - Eli 'Paperboy' Reed & The True Loves - The Satisfier - Bruce Springsteen - Radio Nowhere - They Might Be Giants - Take Out The Trash - The Wombats - Let's Dance To Joy Division Our Featured Classics: - A Certain Ratio - Shack Up - Dramarama - It's Still Warm - The Dukes Of Stratosphear - My Love Explodes - Eddie & The Hot Rods - Do Anything You Wanna Do - Killing Joke - Change (Re-Evolution 23 Mix) - Lene Lovich - Home - MC 900 FT Jesus - If I Only Had a Brain - The Psychedelic Furs - Pretty In Pink - Simple Minds - I Travel - Talking Heads - Memories Can't Wait As always, thanks for listening! - Sean Carolan Altrok Radio On your computer right now at http://www.altrokradio.com On the radio Fridays at 10pm, at 90.5 The Night From dunelm@...

Huw Stephens reduced to one hour - though at a slightly improved timeslot - hope his show doesn't go like Tong's INMWT - ie only half of each record gets played & too much talkin & interviews etc - it's supposed to be all about the new music! & on the positive side Rob Da Bank now seems to have 4 hours - groomed for the Peel niche?

Whereas on Meddle, Dark Side & Wish You Were Here it sounds as if "The Band" had become something far greater than the sum of its parts, and all the members were giving their best, not saving tracks for their solo albums. In fact I think the live half of Ummagumma works far better than the disjointed solo bits on disc 2 - but I think this album did act as a bit of a safety valve for a band who might easily have fallen apart - in fact it's amazing that they went on to acheive so much, having lost their frontman and main songwriter - only other example I can think of is New Order - & I think they were inspired by the Floyd before them!

Message-ID: Dear Friends of the John Peel Show Seeing as this group and so many individuals who belong to it helped me by contributing to my research for my book (and the group, if not all of you individually, gets a big up in my Acknowledgements), I thought you might like to know that we now have copies back from the printers and THE PEEL SESSIONS should be in the shops for 4 October. The designer EstuaryEnglish, editor Steve Tribe and editorial director Mathew Clayton have done a great job: it looks great. Although we ran out of time for some of our more ambitious design montage ideas (and, sadly, some of my last minute tiny corrections and session-release details, but that's the way these things go, hey- ho), the designer has nevertheless come up with a classy look throughout both parts of the book, and one just perfect idea for the contents page and chapter headings which long time listeners I am sure will appreciate. About the content itself I leave that for others to judge. There's the possibility around Peel Day (Thurs 11th October) of some media coverage (digital radio stations, podcasts, papers) though I'd better not go into too much detail because some of it is bound not to come off if I do! It occurs to me though that not all of you will have a clear idea of what's in it - that is, on top of the nine chapters telling the story from the recollections of producers, engineers, bands, listeners, and Peel himself - so I've pasted the back cover blurb below which summarises the attractions inside, after the big puff (which I wrote myself, in hustle mode, I admit). The cover price is 19.99 sterling, but as a thanks to those involved or have a serious interest (ie. you lot), Random House have come up with a 50%-off promotion if you buy it via their web bookshop www.rbooks.co.uk between 24th September and 24th October, by simply quoting the promotional code PeelDeal when prompted. The 50% off actually applies to anything you put in your basket from their list, they tell me. This might make it an even more attractive offer than the 9.99 currently being quoted at amazon.co.uk - blimey! The publisher tells me this suggests they expect to shift quite a few copies. Anyway, that's enough hard sell for now - forgive the promotion, but I suspect several of you might be interested - and I shall stand by for your corrections winging my way by late October, Ken THE PEEL SESSIONS: A Story Of Teenage Dreams And One Man's Love Of New Music by Ken Garner BBC Books, an imprint of Random House Published 4 October 2007 ISBN: 978-1-8460-7282-6 19.99 sterling 352pp (192pp illustrated in colour; 160pp mono matt paper) THE DEFINITIVE HISTORY OF THE JOHN PEEL SHOW Once upon a time there was a lonely public schoolboy whose dream was to play the music he liked to other people on the radio. And when he got his Radio 1 show, John Peel helped thousands of young bands to realise their dreams too, inviting them to BBC Maida Vale Studios to record 4 songs in an afternoon, for broadcast later. Every new band's dream was to do one of these "Peel Sessions". Some became stars (Pulp), others disappeared (The Would-Be's). Teenagers tuned-in, taped, listened again, and again. Some would drift away, only to rediscover the show years later, or find their children listening-in. Peel's love of new music kept his dreams young and that's why listeners loved him. The astonishing story of the Peel Sessions is a story of teenage dreams, for teenagers of all ages. INCLUDES * Complete A-Z Sessionography of all 4400 Peel Sessions, listing bands, tracks, dates, line-ups and recording details (108pp, 2 column layout) * Day-by-Day diary of every Peel show, 1967-2004 (32pp, 3 column layout) * The Festive Fifties (7pp, layout in 3 columns) * The Peelenium (5pp, layout in 3 columns) * Classic Sessions (there are 25 of them, I think) * First Heard Here (12 of these, quite small boxes) * One Session Wonders (24 of these) * Listeners' Memories (12) * Ten Who Didn't Do A Peel Session, Actually * Ten Who Really Did, Honest ... and for the obsessives, I have also included a few stats: The Top 20 bands or individuals who did the most sessions; The Top 10 longest intervals between sessions by an act (I wonder if listers can guess or spot these? Or indeed if I've missed someone!); the 25 or so sessions I "missed" or "left out" of IST from the years 67-92, all now in at last... There are also feature boxes in the sessionography on the 3 acts/people who did the most sessions, namely The Fall, David Gedge, Ivor Cutler. ~ PS. Has anyone else been reading Tony Blackburn's POPTASTIC! MY LIFE IN RADIO? It's an unintentional scream. Pick any paragraph at random and try and read it out loud in a serious voice without bursting out laughing. He's not a bad chap. Some of what he says (not the bits about Peel) is fair enough, and some of his old record of the week choices, with almost 40 years' hindsight, are impressive. But the way he says it all, trying to sound serious, is just hilarious. As for the picture captions... From rockerq@... Thu Sep 20 01:20:37 2007 From: rockerq@... (rockerq@...)

Some pretty sharp guesses there, mate, on the longest- interval. But I excluded the magic band because previously they were Captain Beefheart and the etc. Maybe that was a bit harsh of me. Fair point. Morrissey is an interesting one - his first solo session was never completed or broadcast, and the much later one after the millenium was only two numbers and he didn't want to do it anyway, thinking he was turning up for Zane Lowe, apparently. Dick Dale, nope, none before 1995 (er, I think!). Loudon Wainwright was in pretty frequently and consistently, actually. And you've missed my top two. No?

DEFINITIVE HISTORY OF JOHN PEEL'S RADIO 1 SESSIONS REVEALS THE "FORGOTTEN FIFTY" OF 1977 DJ John Peel's long lost "Festive 50" of top tracks of 1977 has been reconstructed as part of the new definitive history of his show THE PEEL SESSIONS, to be published by BBC Books on 4 October 2007. The rundown presents a startling snapshot of Peel's personal view of a year when music changed for ever, with punk and reggae elbowing out the rock legends. The first ever Festive 50 poll of his listeners' all-time favourite tracks was broadcast over Christmas 1976, but with everything changing in 1977, Peel and his producer John Walters decided not to run a poll that year. Instead, Peel chose his own favourites, but presented it as a 'Festive 50' chart rundown anyway. The Top 13 are well-documented, but the full chart is the "Forgotten Fifty", remembered only in fragments by even diehard listeners. Prompted by queries and tip-offs from fellow members of the John Peel News Group on Yahoo, author Ken Garner reconstructed the chart from a combination of listener diaries & off-air tapes, and the programme scripts kept on microfilm at BBC Written Archives, Caversham. "Even though he referred to it on air as the Festive 50, Peel clearly chose 60 personal favourites from across the year to spin again, plus The Sex Pistols' 'God Save The Queen' cheekily thrown in as an extra at the start", he says: "The track was still banned at the BBC in Silver Jubilee Year – although Peel had of course played it twice before the ban was imposed – and you can imagine the furore if he had drawn attention to it by 'placing' it. This way he sneaked it in with no- one noticing." Although no chart placings are given on the scripts, it was possible to count backwards from the number one at the end of the final countdown show. "The Forgotten Fifty as a whole in its range and order is very much like the nightly Peel shows of the time in its mixture of old and new, the fashionable alongside the uncool" says Garner, "with some giveaway Peel running-order jokes, like following The Boys with The Yobs."

What I like and admire about the Forgotten Fifty is precisely that records now or even then deemed essential are here accorded a different place in the hierarchy, according to Peel's taste, and (partly no doubt) desire to build 4 mixed radio programmes. In this respect I feel it suggests more about the feel of the Peel shows that year than, say, do some later Festive 50s. I'm really glad Adrian, John, Stu and Jimmy pushed me to look into it, because I would never have done so otherwise, given all the other stuff that was more pressing for the book. - k --- In peel@yahoogroups.com, Paul Bryant wrote: > > Both Motors tunes are very excellent - astonished to > see White Riot at a mere 27 though > > pb > > > > > --- Stuart McHugh wrote: > > > good to see the 'Forgotten 50' actually in print, > > there's a lot of > > memories coming back to me, doubtless originally > > from listening on a > > Zephyr tranny under the covers on a school night - > > the first time I > > heard June Tabor, and King Short Shirt (I remember > > the name better > > than the tune), rare plays for 'banned' X Ray Spex > > and Clash singles, > > vague surprise at Frankie Miller, possibly total > > astonishment at John > > Cooper Clarke, and mental notes taken for post-Xmas > > record token > > shoping for The Saints, The Boys and Devo. > > Still don't recall the Quo though (mental block via > > too many school > > bands doing covers) and was anyone else as surprised > > at the time at > > the tunes at 1 and #3? > > > > Happy days... > > > > Stuart > > > > > 1 `Dancing The Night Away' The Motors > > > 2 `Uptown Top Ranking' Althia & Donna > > > 3 `You Beat The Hell Out of Me' The Motors > > > 4 `I Can't Stand My Baby' The Rezillos > > > 5 `Suspended Sentence' John Cooper Clarke > > > 6 `Smokescreen' Desperate Bicycles > > > 7 `Right Track' Merlyn Webber > > > 8 `Like a Hurricane' Neil Young > > > 9 `Complete Control' The Clash > > > 10 `Be Good To Yourself' Frankie Miller > > > 11 `Holidays In The Sun' The Sex Pistols > > > 12 `Shadow' The Lurkers > > > 13 `Truly' J.

Funnily enough Tom Morton (Radio Scotland daytime DJ) made a comment about how while Peel played plenty of Be Bop Deluxe in the 70s he'd have been unlikely to have given it airtime after punk. I mailed the show to say that I was pretty sure that Bill Nelson had been a guest on the show... well, sometime this millennium. I do remember him chatting with John on the show sometime after 1977 (!) but don't think it was a session (he did several solo ones as readers of Ken's books will know) - maybe it was his birthday or something.

Around the same time (6-81) was Bill's only (to my knowledge) solo Peel sesh which was recently available on a torrent site, and featured one Richard Jobson. Peely typically helped launch Bill's career in 71 by playing his hippyish first solo album, "Northern Dream". I heard that Bill and Peely shared a curry in Bradford in the late 70's / early 80's (prob at the Kashmir !) - one of JP's fave places was the Pig's home area of Shipley, a 'burb of Braddy, and Bill lived not far away ....... "Drastic Plastic" and "Quit Dreaming ...." are in my top 20 albums of all time. Sadly, his (huge) output since around 1985 has been of a relatively low quality but the live shows still "cut it" - saw him in 2004 playing Be Bop stuff in Newcastle and in 05 doing a lot of guitar maestro stuff in Birkenhead.
