I think Peel's influence in using the live session was pretty important. And, like everyone, Peel was a massive influence on me growing up. But yeah, I think this idea that he was the only person, even within the BBC, who did good sessions, is a bit narrow. In my time when I tuned into radio 1 (I can't have listened to it more than a handful of times since Peel's passing) there was people like Lamacq and Wiley (later just Lamacq), Annie Nightingale, Kershaw, Mary-Anne Hobbs, Mark and Lard, Westwood, Chris Goldfinger, Fabio & Grooverider... further afield on radio 3 there's shows like Late Junction, Mixing it and World routes, 2 regular jazz shows and live concerts most evenings. I'm pretty sure Bob Harris still has some worthwhile sessions on radio 2 (it's been years since I tuned in) and I know that Radio 6 has a lot (though I never listen to it). Sessions are a pretty critical part of radio culture. I think the thing that people need to remember about Peel's sessions is that there was one every night - for every great one (Monkey Steals the Drum) there was at least one shoddy one (Isla's Set) and one alright one by a band that were forgotten in 10 minutes (Miss Black America). I love BBC radio, by the way.

Well, I think I donīt. As I said, I spend very little time in the internet. And in the gossibs there seem to be some "rules" that I just donīt understand. I have been kind of "lonely wolf" all my life, but I donīt have a lots of problems when being with the other people face to face. My function to be here is to talk SY and other music. I think many have some other functions too. It seems thereīs competitions eveywhere these days. If I have understood correct, hereīs also reputation list and people get higher if they get much replies. And some people seem to want be on the first places (maybe they are not serious?). To me that list is just the same, I just want to talk about music. When I started here, I didnīt get much replies. Well I have had some, but always when I have answered maybe four times, the other one had stopped answering. Maybe thatīs one of the "Rules": donīt answer same guy too many times. Anyway, if you think Iīm very irritated person, you donīt have to answer me. Iīm still going to make some writings about my fav artists. No-one have to read them, itīs just fun to me to write. |
