Nina Nastasia: Peel Sessions 2002-2003

New York chanteuse and Peel favorite, Nina Nastasia, is not the sort of musician everyone knows. Or should know. But those who do usually go to great lengths to proclaim her majesty. Take the late John Peel for example. After listening to Nina's 2000 very indie release, Dogs, he was quite taken with it and would give it regular spins on his BBC Radio 1 program. Peel's move helped garner demand for the album which was already out of print at the time. Nina recorded six Peel sessions from 2002 - 2004. And there's Emma, who left me this comment here today:

"hello, i've just now seen the old post about the peel sessions mp3s and wondering how i might possibly ask/beg/convince/etc you to send me the nina nastasia sessions. she is my favorite artist, and i've been dying to hear those tracks for years. the gratitude would be eternal."

Emma, here you go, here you go.

I know this is from so long ago, but I just got into Nina recently and would love to have these songs. I can't get the links to work anymore. Would you mind reuploading them?

Thanks!

How can I get "Untitled"? I've been looking for it everywhere and you seem to be the most promising source, but the link is broken.... Can you fix it?
