I've just visited the following site which is a collection of legal mp3s. The overall theme is they are either Peel Sessions or were played by John Peel on his show.

I use to visit this site all the time 'back in the day' and as I've just finished his biography (which was a superb read btw) I thought I'd check it out again.
What I find most shocking about this site is there are quite a few bands on there who at the time I'd never heard of, but I'm now getting into. That fact along with many others really makes me miss his show. I feel it could have been of more use and more enjoyable now than it ever was for me. Some bands who passed me by back then but I'm currently playing include:
The Shins
Camera Obscura
Stephen Malkmus
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Pretty Girls Make Graves
Interpol
Death Cab for a Cutie
