As part of Record Store Day 2020 The Pastels will be releasing a 7" of two songs from the John Peel Show recorded at BBC's Maida Vale studio in 1997 Stephen Pastel recalled the experience: āI cannot over-emphasise our absolute joy at being invited to record this session - our previous one, thirteen years earlier hadnāt gone that well and Peel (whose show we adored, him too) had taken a while to come back round to us. These BBC sessions were fairly quick but recorded in a great sounding studio with a great setup. We really wanted it to come off and we sound wilder than we do on Illuminationā [their 1997 album]. āShip To Shoreā is a song the band had previously recorded with Sandy Dirt (their collaboration with Al Larsen). Here we find it in focus and direct. The other track included on the Record Store Day exclusive 7ā is āAdvice To The Graduateā, a sweetly poignant Silver Jews song by David Berman. Stephen adds: āIt seemed poignant then, now almost unbearably so. Katrina and I had been asked to perform it at a Drag City showcase in New York a couple of years earlier with the Drag City All Stars. Itās such a perfect, simple song and it made sense to us partly because of Laurence who had introduced us and made it feel like we were all in a Domino family. Still feel that.ā

The Pastels always seem to set off my serotonin receptors.
