Well... listening now for a few hours to your radio (during work - doing artwork and layout), it's just incredible, just what i need, so i'll bookmark this station in my WinAmp. Hold on, somebody's yelling something here... oh yes and kisses from my halftime collegue. xxxxx

Though dubious about the subject matter of some of the content of the last month [e.g. Cannibalism is perhaps a step too far towards the avant-garde], jewels were scattered aplenty.
Was left with jaw hanging after discovering the prime Krautrock of Pilchard was written by Jarvis. Fierce!
And fantastic to hear Sonic Youth doing some of their best work ever. Always a good sign when you improvise your own basslines and such to tunes [see Antenna].
Also very much enjoying School Of Seven Bells; Benga; and Pirates by Lord Numb is a candidate for most magical thing I've heard all year thus far
Admin reply: Thanks for the feedback - it has been sent to the DJs. Listen and watch out for news of some special material we are hoping to get out in the October shows.

Dandelion you're the best thing to happen to DIY ever!!
Admin reply: Hopefully we help you through it rather than drive you to it
Hail. Well this looks like something John would definitely have put his thumbs up at - the chunk I listened in to had more turns than Hampton Court
Are the individual shows archived anywhere at the moment? Even if they're only held temporarily (as with the Beeb's player), it'd be a fantastic idea
Don't know if it's my set up or what, but WMP 11 keeps getting cut off from the stream...
Regardless, good work!
Admin reply: Thanks for the comments. Our licence prohibits us from making individual shows available for download/listen again - except as part of the overall schedule. Remember though - the programmes loop throughout the month. In June we have 23 hours of material so each show is on again the next day, 1 hour earlier. No idea why the stream was not running smoothly - but we rarely get reports of that so it suggests a localised problem.
Listened to Jeff's show last month and loved it....this month is as good too. He certainly has an ear for good music...he certainly knows his stuff!The tracks he plays are phenomenal.

I’ve listened to every minute of your output since I read the Guardian article in the Autumn and thanks to you I’ve heard great songs by Samantha Crain and the Rural Alberta Advantage and Lettie and Rob Sparx and Tonnage and lots of others that I would never have known about otherwise. When Peely passed away there were lots of messages on the BBC home page and the one that struck me was the one that said “there goes my musical past, present and future”. Thanks for keeping going the spirit of Peely now he's gone.
great prog i was a peelie fan in the 70's and 80,s i lost track for a while but am loving radio dandelion, my memories of peel were of him playing prince fari to bad vibes from heavy prog rockers, but it worked for me, i love the eclectic mix on dandelion, and particularly liked a serbian techno track last month but cannot identify it from the listings service, perhaps you can play it again

Admin reply: Thanks for the feedback. Regarding the Serian track - do you remember which DR DJ you were listening to at the time?
