[peel] Re: Merry Christmas

[MARK LUETCHFORD]

Rocker - eagerly awaiting package. have an errant tape that was foudn down the back of the tape deck that will be returned with next pack.
 
A question for the technically competent - my tape deck has stopped playing both ways - it used to have the ability to play both sides without taking it out of the machine now to get a tape to play on both sides  I have to take it out and turn it over. I have tried cleaning heads and taking the front off and putting it back on (and also the old trick of turning it off and on again!) but all to no avail. I quite like having to use it in this way but am slightly worried that it hides a deeper problem
 
I agree we should be able to find more stuff ...

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 thepeople 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! AndMerry Xmas to all on here!

Listening to the Christmas Special now; great stuff.
Hope you, and everyone else on here, have a great 2013. It might actually be
the year I dig out the rest of my cassettes from the attic.

Cheers

I second
the Merry Christmas-wishing motion, and urge its unanimous approval. 
Here in
the 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 the
state of affairs here.) 
I'm away
from Atlanta this week, in northern Virginia with family, having
a grand time. It was a tumultuous year for me. I worked at a  video
production facility and was laid off after 26 years this summer, and believe it
or not it was a good thing. I've set up my own freelance film/video editing
business and am already doing well. But it was so time-consuming I've not had a
moment to log the 300+ Peel cassettes I promised to index so I can help fill
missing slots in the archive. 
That's my
new years resolution. 
I'll
resume my weekly Tuesday 7pm Eastern US time
radio show Jan 8 via 1690wmlb.com 
In the
meantime, here's the download link for my hour long Christmas special if you
would like an hour of holiday warmth and strangeness. I mean come on, it's got
Sonic Youth covering Martin Mull.

If you
need an editor for your movie/documentary/video give me a ring, ha. 
Cheers
then, and Merry Whatever-You-Celebrate from across th' pond.
