More Peel on TV

[Humphrey]

Just played that song (from 1982) on a cd called "The Indie Scene 1982" and wow - the next song on now is called "Things That Have Learnt To Walk That Ought To Crawl" by the Room, which is equally as brilliant and Liverpool-esque ... What an era. It could be a contender for "strangest song title of all time" maybe ... Sounds like a sci-fi or paranormal program title.

The prog finished with an audio clip of Peely about to play "Revolutionary Spirit" by Wild Swans, which is a brilliant "new-wave", early-80's classic which I NEED to find and play very soon, ha ha. Plus, a Liverpool band !
> From several sources, I've gleaned that Peely liked his dad and wished to have known/loved him more ; as a firm believer in life-after-death I take a poignant joy in knowing that Peely now is reunited and hopefully mates with his pop !
