John Peel Day mixtape

Apparently it was John Peel Day this week? Or it will be next week. The Beeb don't seem to have devoted many shows to the day or indeed even mentioned it, but i'll press on regardless.
While working for The Man over the past few weeks i decided to fill the time between waiting for data to process by making a special mixtape-compilation-type thing for the occassion. It's the same length as the Peel shows i grew up listening to (two hours) and features bits that i remember fondly at the time, most of them being peel sessions or performances from Maida Vale or Peel Acres. It's by no means an 'ideal' show i've cobbled together - no Pig's Big 78 for a start - but it does feature some of my favourite artists and some older stuff as well.

Anyway. The link is here.
