[peel] Re: Peel's Picks: Love & Hate

[Stuart Brooks]

Looking back now the late 70s and early 80s do seem predictable but at the time as a teenager I found it exciting and dangerous! And listening to the reel to reel project rips that have so far been ripped, I can get myself to enjoy that old bluesy rock stuff by imagining myself as my geography teacher listening on an old radiogram late at night.
With my accelerated journey through the late 80s to late 90s ripping the Lee Tapes, I can see why he played most of the stuff that he did. But you almost have to become several personalities to like it all.
A long standing blind spot for me has been Capt Beefheart but I am getting there, give it another 20 years and I will be a fan!
