Searching For The Reverse Midas Touch

I spent tonight looking on backup CDs trying to find the tracklisting for the Reverse Midas Touch compilation I sent to Mark and Lard ten years ago. I am so old. I think the CorelDraw file is hidden away on a disk that I can’t read at the moment (I don’t have an IDE connector anywhere in the house anymore!), so stay tuned for fun and games when I come back. I do seem to remember that it included Grandaddy’s AM 180 and Black Box Recorder’s The Facts of Life, but after that, my memory fails me.

However, on the 14 (!) discs of Radio 1 audio I recorded between 1997-2002, I did find a few gems. Lauren Laverne’s guest session on the Evening Session, Simon Mayo’s last show, as well as shows with cryptic comments like “Mark loses it 28 minutes in”. And another copy of this little piece from Planet Pop:

I’m going to be converting the ancient RealAudio files to MP3 when I come back from America, so I may post some classic moments from High Tea and Tosspots when I return, but for now, have Simon Mayo and John Peel, together again for the first time. (possibly)
