The latest show is available for download..... check it out For those of you who haven't tuned in yet, the main aim of Mishkas is to "evoke the spirit" of John Peel. When he died, a huge hole was left behind, and we'd like to help fill it. I use the word "help" because we are by no means the only people doing this, and of course we couldn't ever expect to live up to the legendary Peel. We want to listen to and play good music by unsigned and independent artists / labels - that is all. Go forth and listen! |

Excellent :) Let me know what you think. Sorry for the probably rather arrogant sounding John Peel stuff. It was just my attempt to get people to read my thread, because normally people don't :) |

Hijacking an honourable deadman's name to get people to read your thread and listen to your radio show. That's real admirable, that is. |

Ho, hum. |

I don't think it was a crude cash-in on his name. The whole principle of Mishkas playing new and often unsigned music is very similar to the late Mr. Peels show. Some good tracks on this. Glad to see more United Kingz, they will be big in future, keep an eye out for 'em. |

"Skitchy - Don't have this girl" is awesome. |

Yeah man, both fantastic tracks. There's so much unsigned hip-hop/drum n bass talent out there. i guess the market's saturated with it, but it's really exciting when some unsigned unknown sends us stuff that sounds fecking amazing. An amazing independent hip hop-ish record label to look out for is . They are putting out some excellent music. |

just because the principle is the same, how does that not make it a crude cash-in? |

"Hijacking an honourable deadman's name to get people to read your thread and listen to your radio show. That's real admirable, that is." well said there is SO FUCKING MUCH of it about its absolutely disgusting |

I suppose it doesn't. Still, I can understand Manic wanting to get people to look at these threads. People bitch about a lack of good music threads and how off topic stuff runs to hundreds of posts and music ones like this are lucky to reach a dozen. I honestly think the mishkas shows (I know I am biased as I'm sometimes on them) are some of the best "spam" showcases/mixes that get posted here and the lack of attention they get is criminal. |

that still doesn't justify it |
||||||||
|
|

|

Agreed, but at least this one isn't charging £10 a head for entry to an indie club on the grounds that it's playing music John Peel did (ie no different from any other indie club night). |
||||||||
|
|

|

I severely tempted to do a track called "The Spirit of John Peel" and submit it to Mishkas, so that it could be played and then, perhaps, it would justify titling the thread this way. |

ceri jc> yeah thats true at least no cash is made that which u said was what i was thinking about really, despicable behaviour |

I agree wholeheartedly that the way the music scene has turned Peel's death into a giant circle-jerk is deplorable. The afformentioned clubs are the main culprits, but the way musicians have been jumping on the bandwagon as a way of getting more media exposure is almost as bad. |
||||||||
|
|

Anyway, back on topic, the track by cathode is very good too. |
||||||||

besides.. he pretty much admitted to it by posting: "Sorry for the probably rather arrogant sounding John Peel stuff. It was just my attempt to get people to read my thread, because normally people don't :)" |
||||||||
|

exactly, that was the post i really took exception to.. |

I thought you were being sarcastic, referring to your handle ;) |

Jesus Christ, I'm sorry if I've offended anyone. I genuinely didn't mean to piss anyone off, and I'm sorry if you thought it was offensive. I think "cashing-in" is too strong a term, I am making no money from this after all...... When I set out to make Mishkas, I was genuinely inspired by John Peel and by the "hole" he left behind when he died. That's what I was referring to - in my second post I realised this may have come across as rather arrogant, so with tongue firmly in cheek I tried to make it seem less so by jokingly saying that the reason I'd used his name was to attract people to the thread. In fact, when I first made this thread and gave it it's title, I didn't do it in an attempt to "attract" people to the thread (any more than with any other title). It was a genuine reference to Mr Peel. So, I wrote the thread with good, innocent intentions and then realised comparing myself with John Peel was a bit OTT. My subsequent attempt at humour, which was supposed to make me come across as less conceited, appears to have backfired and made me look like a cynical namedropper (for want of a better term) - something I'd never intended to be. So, in short, I'm sorry if I offended anyone and I hope you'll realise now that the joke didn't really "translate" well onto the internet and will forgive me. |

Lol talk about making a mountain out of a molehill... I loved Peel but can't see how such an off the cuff thread title can offend people! Anyways, will download soon, manicminer. |
