but your rant doesn't make sense. You're criticising 6music etc for not giving you anything new, and then saying that's not where you'd look anyway.

I've given up on trying to find it through the radio stations. I tend to check out stuff that is recommended to me by people on here mostly. That's pretty much it I guess

i find this station generally good, alot less talk than the beeb, the DJs are real specialists and given they ain't paid to do it are pretty remarkable. Comes out of New Jersey but is generally considered NYC's finest freeform radio.

It's pretty good but I wouldn't say it's up to Peely's standards. It's the best thing I've seen/heard Lamarr do.
The Breezeblock has some very interesting and varied mixes, although my experience comes from downloading them rather than the radio. Squarepusher's done a couple of corkers, and Amon Tobin's was damn good too.

I loved peels show, the day I heard my own record on his show I almost died.
He must have listened to an awful lot of shit to decide my bollocks was worth playing. My favorite anecdote probably means nothing to him, he must have touched so many people, more than he realized.

I haven't gone looking for a Peel replacement, there's no point.
I rarely listen to radio DJs now and find out about new music through the internet – here, other BBs, MySpace, label websites, record shop websites. Last FM is perfect for giving me a random yet complementary selection of music from any style I choose and no one's interrupting it by talking.

Then he must be radically different on R1! On MTV2 he asks the most arse-clenchingly embarrassing questions. Will suspend judgement, though, and check out his radio show.

last.fm is awesome...
Download the actual app Vic (ie, dont just type artists names into the site), then it plugs into your itunes and figures out what you like and then from that what you might also like....
edit: still no replacement for peel. but i think he'd approve of it in a way

Just had a go on it. It's great. One teensy caveat, however: it does tend to mitigate against eclectic taste - e.g. if you like Kylie and sonic Youth!

God's Jukebox (Friday midnight - Sat 3am). His genre shows are good, but this show is faultless. Soul, gospel, rockabilly, garage, country, blues, hip-hop, indie, reggae, ska, jazz, latin. Every week. It's all his own stuff - often from his own original 7"s - his enthusiasm is amazing, he has brilliant guests, he's funny and informed. I listen to it every weekend (at some point) with soulseek fired up and probably discover 5 or 6 absolute classics every week, and it's really rare he plays something i don't like...
here's this week's tracklisting for example:
hiccup
King of the Vagabonds
the pitchfork podcast isnt bad usually either...
