FF 2000. Because you demanded it, a Festive Fifty in it's true, raw state, complete with our John, tape hiss and songs cut off in their prime - yes, dear listener, this one's off a cassette.
A truly classic Fifty though: plenty of Delgados, Hefner, PJ Harvey, etc. The Cuban Boys and Cow Cube - what fun! Funny just how many 'Golden Eras' of Peel there seem to have been when you look back on it though, isn't it ?
Btw, you might like to know that as well as being on the Beeb's own Peel pages, you can find also full FF playlists at http://www.rocklist.net/festive50.htm ,and as they're presented in nice clean lists, all on a single page, they're easier to copy/paste from for compiling those all-important CD labels.

Anyway, here's the gear:

Part 1 (50-43)

Part 2 (42-31)

Part 3 (30-20)

Part 4 (19-10)

Part 5 (9-1)

Boy, that was a long holiday, wasn't it? Or perhaps I've just been too lazy/busy recently... Anyway, I'm going to try to upload various random Peel tapes on a more regular basis now, and having recently returned from a wonderful couple of week in France, I thought I'd start with this , which is a session from Stereolab from '97.
Sexy French accents with just the right blend of electronics and old skool guitars n' drums - what more could you ask for ? Works for me, that's for sure...
