Have a lotta respect for Nic Harcourt. He gave our band and many other "unknown" bands a chance in KCRW. The guy is really open to new sounds and thats very rare these days

Agreed, I've watched him interview countless "superstars" and always manage to be a really genuine, interested, integrity-driven guy. He's reciprocated some of the compliments via Twitter, but overall, I think he's what Zane Lowe wishes he could be. Quote me on that if you'd like.

I'm not very Radio 1 so I've not paid much attention to Zane Lowe on there. He founded a group called Breaks Co-op in NZ back in the day which is the only reason I really know of him [1].

For years I've been listening to Tom Ravenscroft to find out about new music. When I found out he was John Peels son the penny dropped.

Out of interest, what band were you in?
