There is a session next week that is likely to be of interest to Peel listeners in a place where you wouldn't expect to find it! The Rock Show (Tuesday...
Hi all-- Might anyone have recording of Peel's rundown of last year's Festive 50? I have a friend that is trying to get up w/ the, erm, 'latest' indie type...
Is anybody going to admit what they've voting for? I was thinking of the Fall, Detroit Cobras and Ladytron (although that would leave me no room for anything...
... Here is what I voted for: Vander - Kling Klang Injured Birds - Monkey Steals The Drum I Wake Up In The City - The Fall Does placing Kling Klang at no.1...
... I think they all get one vote, but if there's a tie the number of first preferences is taken into consideration. I'm pretty sure there was a tie for no. 1...
... I think the only 2001 records I own are Amnesiac, I Might Be Wrong and Know Your Enemy. Given that I haven't really listened to much radio either I'm as ...
1.. Arab Strap 'The Long Sea' 2.. Low 'Embrace' 3.. New Order 'Crystal' (album version's the better mix) Regards, Andrew Morrison Email: morriso@......
... Not as far as I know. My point is mainly that we rely on the Festive 50 as a round-up of the what's been on his show that year. But it never really is...
... I think he's said in the past that he's been a bit fed up of doing the F50 and been disappointed that the content of it is fairly conservative. I'd be...

... Peel chose the 1976 50 I'm quite sure (recently rediscovered as a paean to The Motors which has been rather kept quiet!) ... I think Peel doesn't really...
I'm afraid I'd not heard GET READY when I sent in my selections, otherwise I woulda had to include at least one # of that. I agree, btw, with the person that...

... Older listeners (cough) may have sent off their sae's for a [photocopied sheet listing the F50 in previous years and often the numbers 51-60 were included...
Last year I had _at least_ one of my choices get in the F50: Cinerama's "manhattan" ... And one of the all-time selections that I _meant_ to vote for, "going ...
Although I've been listening to the FF's since 1981. I'm ashamed to say, I've never voted, up until now..... I've been frantically going through my listings...

Why get so upset about the Festive 50? It seems like a very nice idea: vote for your top 3 of the year. Where's the harm? Why SHOULD it represent his show?...
I know JP had a stint earlier in the year playing tracks from the Electronic Voice Phenomenon record (ie voices of "ghosts" recorded from beyond the grave) -...
Folks, Looking for a kind soul to help me out by taping this years Festive Fifty. We are going away to stay at my in-laws over the festive period and I wont...

... played a vintage R&B track, mid 50's certainly, with about a guy who'd bought a fancy car on credit that he now couldn't afford. Real funny story and real...
Since Doug was asking for help w/ recording this yr.'s, I thought I'd ask again: does anyone have a tape of last yr.'s F50 that we might be able to sort out a...
On a sale table at a bookstore I found the book TIME OUT INTERVIEWS 1968-1998, and Mr Peel's interview from 1970 is included. I scanned it in and here it is. ...
Thanks to Tom for that interview. ... Complete opposite of Peel's current position. ... He didn't go for the Stooges either, did he? ... After reading the Peel...
