This podcast series & blog is inspired by the life of John Peel (1939-2004).
John reached millions of people around the world with his 40 plus years of broadcasting that was carried on the BBC, BBC World Service and countless subscribing radio stations the globe over. You could hear Peel everywhere from mainland Europe, India, Africa to the USA and of course all over the British Isles.
You'll be able to listen to everything great I get my hands on, from studio tracks, private live recordings, online only exclusives to forgotten vinyl gems.
The point is to allow people to listen to great music regardless of commercial intent. Peelie was too modest to want a show dedicated to him. It's always about the music. So from Lawrence, KS to everywhere we can possibly reach, let us remember what it's like to play music without boundaries and restrictions.
If you have the time please leave a comment, good or bad. And if you find a song you love, please use the provided links to purchase the artist's music. Always support the music.
Podcasts and other files should stay up until the end of time. If there is a broken link, please tell me. It is not the intent of this website to steal from anyone. If you wish for a MP3 to be taken down, just ask and it will be done. Thank you.
Slow Thrills Blog. A great blog about music in general, but focuses on Peel quite a bit.
Soulseek Also, if you have the P2P program Soulseek and wish to grab/share/offer John Peel material with me. I have two accounts, a primary account under "stoecker" and a secondary account under "michstoecker". Right now I probably have about 500 hours of Peel recordings that I'm sharing with everyone. That said, you can not be abusive and try to dl everything.

UPDATE: Smeg Pole from The Scrotum Poles has asked me to pull down a couple of these songs. I hope to continue sharing the rest and will update again in a few days.
The Scrotum Poles were a punk band from Dundee, Scotland and they had one real release, a 5 song EP called Revelation that came out in 1980 and its just about perfect.
Check it out here - [Closed Link] The Scrotum Poles - Revelation EP

Its about as simple and wonderful as pop-punk can get at that time period.
