Disco Clone / Another pending trove

[Tom & Cheryl Roche]

"Things Fall Apart" is actually my favorite Christmas record, disturbing as that may sound. Well, after The Fall's "Hark The Herald Angels Sing" perhaps.

Going forward, I think I have mentioned here that in the 90's I had a friend in London who would record Peel shows for me, and send the cassettes back to me in Atlanta... this was from maybe 91-99. She worked at the CNN office off Tottenham Ct Rd and was in charge of recording feeds anyway - exactly the dependable sort of person you'd want. (All the cassettes begin exactly 90 seconds before the show starts etc.) Anyway I dont know how many there are, at least 100, maybe 200. And then I've another 30-50 half hr shortwave shows. So looking down the road, when you (or ya'll as we say round here) get through the 400 box, you are welcome to the "Tom Roche Box," so to speak. I don't have time to rip them, so I'd be happy to Fed-Ex them over to Phil or Martin and let them distribute the task.

Oh and these are mostly 100 min cassettes and not 90's, a bonus.

Amazing to think that someday one can carry around 3 decades of John's shows on a little pocket drive....

OT: The film I spent the last 5 months editing in New Orleans, "The Big Uneasy" will show at The Big Chill Festival sometime next weekend, with Harry Shearer there to introduce it. It will show in London in September sometime, will advise. Google "The Big Uneasy" for more....
