[peel] Re: Merry Christmas

[rockerq@...]

And MY new year resolution is to send out the next batches of cassettes to our gallant band of rippers. I've had an exceptionally busy 2012 and I know I have a backlog of 4 or 5 packages I need to make up and send out - thanks for your patience, everyone - hope to be up to date by the end of January!

Lots more shows and fragments of shows still to come!

Did we find out what happened to that recent batch of 400 tapes from Gloucester?

Maybe we should get all the people with Peel blogs (and there are a few on here I think!) to spread the word (taking care over the legalities of our situation) that a) We share shows for free, and have thousands of them (to undercut the market of anyone trying to sell on our hard work); and b) We can do the ripping for anyone who has tapes they are willing to share (so that those emptying their lofts might consider us as the natural and ethical home for their Peel show tapes, rather than trying to flog them on eBay or similar).

Cheers! And Merry Xmas to all on here!

I secondthe Merry Christmas-wishing motion, and urge its unanimous approval.
Here inthe States it has been a rather bleak two weeks, but we are climbing out if it.(More of us than than you might think are saddened *and* embarrassed at thestate of affairs here.)
I'm awayfrom Atlanta this week, in northern Virginia with family, havinga grand time. It was a tumultuous year for me. I worked at a  videoproduction facility and was laid off after 26 years this summer, and believe itor not it was a good thing. I've set up my own freelance film/video editingbusiness and am already doing well. But it was so time-consuming I've not had amoment to log the 300+ Peel cassettes I promised to index so I can help fillmissing slots in the archive.
That's mynew years resolution.
I'llresume my weekly Tuesday 7pm Eastern US timeradio show Jan 8 via 1690wmlb.com
In themeantime, here's the download link for my hour long Christmas special if youwould like an hour of holiday warmth and strangeness. I mean come on, it's gotSonic Youth covering Martin Mull.
