Ah, hindsight. It's a wonderful thing.

Anyone care to explain how I managed to buy all the Fall singles up to and including Totally Wired (I think), more-or-less on release, plus the Witch Trials, Dragnet and Totale's Turns LP's without listening to Peel at all at that time?

  There is just no way that you heard them anywhere else except on Peel's show...

  Well, the conversation started of as I was surprised that no Fall record was in his "40 records I would like played at my 40th birthday party" list.

  But maybe it was a dance party, and as he sometimes said, if you can dance to that, you are in urgent need of medical attention.
