\u2022 23 Skidoo’s Peel Session<\/a> from September 16th, 1981. Only 18 minutes of music but I’m thrilled for its being unique material that’s never been given an official release. There are many more<\/em> Peel Sessions<\/a> at the uploader’s channel, not all of which were reissued on the Strange Fruit<\/a> label. Download favourites in their as-broadcast form (some with John Peel’s introductions) before they vanish or get blocked like the 1981 Cabaret Voltaire session.

\u2022 Mixes of the week comprise two collections by Jon Dale of strange and beguiling Italian music: The Prevarications Of The Sky Against The Earth<\/a> and La Verifica Incerta<\/a>; the Summer Window Mix<\/a> (“telly detritus, new-not-new synth nonsense & off-colour pop oddities”) by Moon Wiring Club; and Secret Thirteen Mix 158 by Haunter Records<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 “Hello, this is David Bowie<\/a>. It’s a bit grey out today but I’ve got some Perrier water, and I’ve got a bunch of records…” Two hours of the Thin White Duke playing favourite music on BBC Radio One, 20th May, 1979.<\/p>\n

Some of Vidal\u2019s guests were writers, not exactly his favorite group. \u201cWriters are the only people who are reviewed by people of their own kind,\u201d Vidal said in an interview. \u201cAnd their own kind can often be reasonably generous\u2014if you stay in your category. I don\u2019t. I do many different things rather better than most people do one thing. And envy is the central fact of American life.\u201d<\/p>\n
