Can anyone help me with some MP3s of the second Diagram Brothers Peel session? I have the other two, just missing this one. Message me if you can help.x
I thank you!
just recovering from a fondue soirée,the shower doesn't work, neither does david, and i'm decidedly unimpressed with my postal bargains. Roll on the 1980's, surely the 90's will be better?

Thanks so much for the add! I love your stuff and I've turned my other band members on to you. We hope to cover Aggravation once we get an adequate vocalist. Looking forward to the CD. Now get those three Peel sessions released!
Hi Diagrams! Thanks for adding us :-)
Re. Andy's blog - Yes, definitely reform guys!
You were a big influence on 'real' New Wave/Post-Punk and we want some more!
Cheers, d-dog
It's great to see a site up here for yourselves and good to know that 'Some Marvels of Modern Science' is finally available on CD at LTM. Been after that for years.
