Bluetones Peel Archive request - BBC 6music

[littlemissmosher]

Right, some of you may remember i got my showbiz acquaintance Marc Riley of BBC 6music fame to play an archive Peel session by the Tones last May - well, given this week's news I thought it would be nice to try and get him to play another one nearer the time of the Farewell Tour....however this time, instead of me picking the one I'd wanted to hear, I thought I would put the choices on here for you all to vote!
So...the choices are (I am excluding the 1994 session as that was the one aired last year, and there's no way the same session would get played again anyway):

Anson Rooms 21/4/95:

www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/johnpeel/sessions/1990s/1995/Apr21bluetones/

Reading Festival 26/6/95:

Maida Vale Studio 4/8/96:

Queen Elizabeth Hall 31/1/99:

www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/johnpeel/sessions/1990s/1999/Jan31bluetones/

there's no point in picking which songs within each session you'd like to hear - a maximum of 4 would be played and probably whichever are the shortest due to time constraints within the show. Just remember there's no guarantee it will get played but I will do my best to make sure that it is!

Thanks!

What's Electric Vampire?

04/08/1996 Maida Vale 4.

[littlemissmosher]

dunno, but it sounds ace. typos galore on the 6music site, they cant get the staff!

[littlemissmosher]

*another bump* a clear leader at the moment!

[littlemissmosher]

another *bump* i shall try to find out how long the waiting list is, so that i can work out when best to submit it for playing on the show...

[littlemissmosher]

another excuse to bump this and mention that I just got Bluetonic played on 6music as part of today's Teatime Themetime feature on Mark and Stuart's show - i'll post the iplayer link when its up. it got some listeners to text & email in saying they loved the Tones, which is nice as well!

2 hours 38 in , should anyone care to listen!

one final bump.....be nice to get a few more votes in before i submit a winning choice. have been told i cant pick a week for it to be played though...which isnt v helpful given id only requested "any time between mid august to end of september" so it'll be pot luck. thats if it even gets played....

[littlemissmosher]

i have now submitted the winning session for consideration....again no guarantee it'll be played but if and when it is scheduled i'll let The Internet know about it

[littlemissmosher]

I am pleased to announce that the bloke who schedules these archive sessions has told me that the Tones winner is officially on the list of sessions to play - result!
no idea when it'll be aired yet, but i shall let you all know asap.

Good work! By now you must have earnt the Bluetones nearly 50p in PRS payments, on 6music alone!

[littlemissmosher]

ive created an FB event for this now but im too stupid to get the link to come up on here properly. urgh. once some of you click "attend" it should start being seen on related people's feeds though, i guess.
im prepared to look like a twit if this now gets dropped. which it still might...

[littlemissmosher]

its scheduled for week commencing Sep 26th, for any of you who dont actually use facebook.
its also been tweeted about.
i will of course post relevant iplayer links after each track has been played.
i have no idea what i will do with my time from october onwards whilst at work. not any actual work, obviously.

[littlemissmosher]

this begins tomorrow night....it was mentioned on-air by Mr Riley early last week (my phone nearly exploded with texts/tweets when it got mentioned which was nice) so i hope everyone who tunes in enjoys whichever tracks they end up playing. its likely only 3 of the 4 tracks get played though, as i was told that there was a technical problem with part of the recording.
