 MAKE SOME NOISE FOR JOHN PEEL ON FIRDAY 12 PM I don't know about the rest of y'all but the death of John Peel has really cut me up - its like the remains of the old youth washing down the plug hole. Any way I don't usually like these ninutes silence things - they're often a bit suspect and politically motivated. But I was thinking in tribute to john Peel we should unleash 1 minutes NOISE By this I mean punk, hard rock, death metal, drill n bass, gabba, techno, industrial, drum "n" bass, hard ragga, electro, jacking house - stuff the man himself would haved played. NOT alt- country, anything by the Thrills, Westlife etc. This should be IN YOUR WORKPLACE OR NEAR YOUR NEIGHBOURS FOR MAXIMUM EFFECT. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9I was gutted when I heard the news.
I had this image of jp as this english schoolboy (in his sixties) with this collection of weird insects - ugly, fascinating creatures.
Where others would call for quarantine -
john peel freely let them loose on his radio show...
He'll be sorely missed
RIP/make some fuckin' noise.
i was just reading a great comment from BEZ (probably the real one) that having him on radion one was like having Chomsky running things from inside the white house !
Nuff said
Phader
Have to admit to being a bit dazed the last couple of days. I was really shocked when I heard yesterday that he was dead. For whatever reason I saw Peelie going on forever.
Click the link of one of peel's odder thangs.
Glasto won't be the same without JP.

Also worth a listen - Radio 1's tribute show to him last night. All Peel session tracks.
Classic pictures of some of the bands/singers Peelie championed over the years.
Peel was open-minded and free-spirited, unlike a lot of the concrete-brained stalinists that post comments around here.
He was prepare to revise his opinions and always on the look-out for something new, but never discarding the past simply because it was old.
Other's posting here remind me of the Redskins refusing to join Billy Braggs Red Wedge tour in support of the Labour oppostion, because they were SWP. Acronyms aside, ideological straight-jackets which restrict free-thought.
I gave She's Lost Control (Unknown Pleasures) the full blast for the man.
Rave on JP.
You don't get it with Peel - do you? Unpredictable, unfashionable, he bucked the system and did his own thing, his own way. He'd have hated the idea of Noise for Peely, pissing people off with racket. A quiet cup of tea would have been more his style. He's laughing at you...
Though to balance things the man has to take some blame for inflicting shit like Roxy Music on the world .
His early interest in Roxy Music is only proof that the man was open minded and eclectic. He didnt always follow the Party line. And he wasnt a (music) snob.
Roxy Music is an interesting one though. Never liked them myself but the oh-so obscure DJs on Dublin XFM were always raving about them.
