Depends which epoch
For me it was Steve Lamacq on before Peel.

You can guess peoples' ages by finding out which Epoch of Peel
they remember.

i used to love "long wave radio atlantic 252"
in hindsight the reception was shit and they played the same song 15 times an hour.

Kiss 102 in Manchester with Matt Thompson used to be where it was at

but then it turned into galaxy
and promptly became a clone of key 103.

I remember that, it just happened one day, and all the decent dj's were fucked off. Sad times.
I was surprised that they didn't have James Stannage on the twats

My brother used to send me cassettes of 808 State's show on Key 103
They were legendary in Winchester. Any time there was any piano or singing he'd edit it out so it was HARDCORE ALL THE WAY.

I still have a few of the tapes: 'Steamin' Tunes vols 1-7'

Yeah a real treasure trove, off the top of my head I've got a few orbital ones, dinosaur jnr, dreadzone

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Tue 19 Apr 2011, 13:28, Reply)

I saw Dinosaur Jr on the Rollercoaster tour supporting the JAMC.
They were awful. Which was a shame.

My bro saw them along with people like Mudhoney and Nirvana.
All shit, apparently.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 19 Apr 2011, 13:38, Reply)

I've seen Mudhoney a couple of times and they were excellent.
Missed out on Nirvana though, just before they hit big. Could've got in on the guest list at the Riverside in Newcastle (I'd done some work experience for them and payment was in kind). Because I'd never heard of them I declined.

You missed fuck all.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 19 Apr 2011, 13:47, Reply)

I quite like Mudhoney :((((

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Tue 19 Apr 2011, 13:59, Reply)

I saw Mudhoney in a little club in... Fuck, I have no idea. Nottingham or somewhere.
They were shit then too.

They did one of those 'play a so-called classic LP in its entirety' thing in Camden
a year or so back - my bro went. They were off stage by 9pm. Cunts.

If it was Superfuzz Bigmuff (or is it the other way around?)
I'm not surprised.

Could have been.
I can still hear Vance's voice in my head as it was so distinctive.
( girlinthehole, Tue 19 Apr 2011, 13:12, Reply)

Lol he ended up washed out on Radio Marbella or something like that

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Tue 19 Apr 2011, 13:13, Reply)

I think most DJs of the era just faded away into obscurity.

( girlinthehole, Tue 19 Apr 2011, 13:15, Reply)

Did the angry DJs 'cross fade' away into obscurity?

Excepting the further adventures of Andy Kershaw, I believe he's currently out of prison

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Tue 19 Apr 2011, 13:17, Reply)

Hell, he went a bit pear shaped didn't he.

( girlinthehole, Tue 19 Apr 2011, 13:17, Reply)

At least he has the notoriety of being the Isle of Mans resident nutter

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Tue 19 Apr 2011, 13:20, Reply)

All that African bollocks that he used to play (along with Peel on occasion) was excruciatingly shit

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Tue 19 Apr 2011, 13:21, Reply)

*shakes hands*
Fucking utter shite.

It's Thursday night at 8 o'clock and can't you hear the chimes?
They're telling you to take an easy cha-a-air.
Settle by the fireside, pick up your Radio Times
The Kenny Everrett Show is on the a-a-air,
The Kenny Everrett Show is on the aaaair.
