Everything Must Go Let me see now, have I forgotten anything? Bags are packed, I've cancelled the milk, gas and electric are off. Got my trusty, anti-political-correctness-electric-cattle-prod, my Bill Hicks sanity kit and my Stuart Maconi dartboard - blimey that's looking a bit threadbare! Blog archive, Peel tapes, Lauren Laverne Love DollTM - blimey that's looking a bit threadbare! . . . right ok, that's it. Off we go then... john peel everyday was a community production 2005-2008 john peel everyday is now johnpeel.net All the post from here are now over there I've rounded up all the files from this site placed them on a single page. There's around 37 files listed with more to come obviously. I'm comfortable with WordPress so updates could become more frequent. Another mix in the FaithHealer series is on the way too. This one is likely to be a real mellow, druggy affair. One final thing, don't worry if your site isn't listed there just yet. I'm checking all the links before re-adding them to make sure they are still a going concern. Come on. Come on over and say hi. :)

I was nine and can't recall what was around in that year without checking first but I do remember having one of those Anarchy patches with the crossed-through A on my jacket, so that's a clue I suppose. Mind you no one has the right to call themselves a full fledged anarchist if they have to ask their Mum to sew on the patch.

Selections of these writings amount to a second autobiography." "The articles were personally selected by Peel's wife Sheila, and feature musings on Tubular Bells, Eurovision, shaving and the loss of virginity." The book is due to appear either, October or November, depending on which of the above two sources you choose to place your faith. Although the guardian does seem to share the NME's optimism for October 23rd. This would coincide with the annual John Peel Day, so is probably the more likely. But this doesn't stop Am*zon being the most adventurous of all by declaring September! "John Peel is best known for his four decades of radio broadcasting. His Radio 1 shows pretty much defined popular culture as it emerged and shaped the taste of successive generations of music lovers. His Radio 4 show, "Home Truths", became required listening for millions. But all the while, Peel was also committing his laconic brilliance to paper, in articles and reviews for newspapers and magazines, his diaries and his letters. Now for the first time, these writings have been brought together. Selected by his wife, Sheila, and his four children, these writings amount to a second autobiography, telling the John Peel story as it happened. From his earliest journalism - and, as Peel admitted in the original synopsis of his autobiography: 'starting with crap pieces (opportunities for hilarious quotes from same "clouds are poems written in the sky")', he also wrote contributions for "International Times", "Oz", "Gandalf's Garden" and "Disc and Music Echo", then "Sounds", the "Observer", the "Independent", "Radio Times" and he was even briefly a correspondent for "Bike" magazine. Woven through these pieces are Peel's diary entries, letters and personal reflections from his family who are the subject of so many of them. This extraordinary, hilarious and moving book is a reminder of just why John Peel remains a truly great Briton and how much we still miss him." posted by domestic empire : 8/09/2008 08:08:00 AM 7 comments Sunday, June 01, 2008 Apparently it felt pretty good and soon word got around the data centre that this was absolutely what all the hip servers were doing these days. Unfortunately this resulted in the latest craze becoming very passé very quickly and the original server that started the trend, not to be outdone, decided to blow itself up taking, "approximately 9,000 servers and impacting 7,500 customers" with it so no one else would be able to copy it's incisive, though ultimately destructive, feel for the zeitgeist. This has nothing to do with the Torrent feed being down, again, but as everything on the blog is moving soon anyway it'll all be sorted out in the fullness of time and all that.
