Apologies for the lack of posts over the last few days, there have been other, non-blog related matters to attend to.
Anyway, here are ten more tracks from John Peel's Festive Fifty. As my bandwith has been exceeded on two Fileden accounts (glad people are enjoying sampling the music which I hope they will buy, but it would be nice if a few more of you left comments) these are via Mediafire.
Eggs -'Government Administrator.' mp3 (1993 Festive Fifty no.10)
New Order -'Fine Time.' mp3 (1988 Festive Fifty no.44)
The Flatmates -'I Could Be In Heaven.' mp3 (1986 Festive Fifty no.42)
Cocteau Twins -'Pearly Dewdrops' Drops.' mp3 (1984 Festive Fifty no.2)
McCarthy -'Should the Bible Be Banned?' mp3 (1988 Festive Fifty no.38)
Sleeper -'Delicious.' mp3 (1994 Festive fifty no.20)
Camera Obscura -'Eighties Fan.' mp3 (2001 Festive Fifty no.8)
Pastels -'Truck Train Tractor.' mp3 (1986 Festive fifty no.23)
Billy Bragg -'Levi Stubbs' Tears.' mp3 (1986 Festive Fifty no.24)
Wedding Present -'Everyone Thinks He Looks Daft.' mp3 (1987 Festive Fifty no.3)
Whilst here, I should mention that Teenage Kicks, a John Peel-related blog that is so essential I check it every day has done a couple of excellent posts (as usual but even more essential) relating to the Men That Couldn't Hang and also folk music from 1977. Yes, 1977 the year of punk. Go check them out here.

Ciao Ed
Just a passing thought - what about doing a weekly round-up ? It might be interesting to know what was attracting the most dl's, feedback etc. Might be a chance for you to point out goodies that had been missed by some. Might attract more comments (or even suggestions like isn't it time you said something about Yo La Tengo or the Aislers Set or what's happening at Elephant 6?) We don't check every day (sadly) - don't always have the time or the opportunity. But hey, keep up the good work.
La Squadra Italiana
Hi Squadra Italiana
did feature Yo La tengo around the time of the last album, but they are fantastic so may feature them again soon.
As for monitoring downloads etc.. if someone could actually tell me how to monitor all this that would be great!!
Cheers for your feedback, Ed

I can't see the name "Yo La Tengo" without thinking about this:
