Here's some article fun for anyone who is stuck in front of a computer this fine Friday evening.
Now I know all the hipsters read pitchfork (I guess this makes me a hipster?) but in case you missed it, Tom Ewing's column on John Peel's Festive Fifty is pretty good. If you lived in England you got John Peel's Festive Fifty...if you lived in America you got Kemal Amin "Casey" Kasem's Countdown. Sooooo, yeah.

Here's a nice Bio on John Peel from the snaggled-toothed BBC. I didn't know he got his first radio gig in Dallas, Texas!

Here's a good article on vinyl distributors and music's current state of affairs.

Month to Month: The vinyl solution
"So why do certain labels release only on vinyl? Generally, the reasons fall into two categories. First there are ethical concerns. Some labels are strong supporters of the vinyl industry and the record store, and don't want to fuel a digital industry that they perceive as a threat to that. Keith Worthy, who runs Aesthetic Audio, is one such label owner. He explains: "I have nothing personal against those who opt for digital distribution, but vinyl is my main weapon of choice at the moment. One reason is because a lot of good people own and work in record stores and I appreciate and respect this aspect of the artistry".
