old peel shows

Ah, link of the year so far courtesy of Pete Ashton's linklog - he's spotted that "there is, somewhat unexpectedly, a whole arena of folk sharing mp3s of old John Peel radio shows", which is a lovely idea. I had it vaguely in mind that I might have some old cassettes of his programmes lying around somewhere which I ought to rescue and copy, but I never found any (or didn't look hard enough, perhaps). Far easier, then, to download some of the shows available here, on Teenage Kicks 3000, and remind myself how good his programmes were.

Thanks to the ever reliable Pete for the link. Pete's blog, can I just say, is pretty unambiguously the best thing going on the web right now. Take a look - here.
