The man rocks

John PeelI just discovered that the CD I'm listening to is mixed by John Peel. Nothing remarkable, you might say ... but the CD is in the Live series from Fabric, one of London's superclubs. I'd never have thought the venerable Mr Peel would be accepted within such a bastion of youth culture and trendy young things.

From the amazon.co.uk review: "With music culled from deep within the archives, Peel effortlessly transcends genres and decades with carefree abandon. Fabric 07 may well confound the feet but it's sure to rock the soul and warm the heart." Hell, yeah!

Go buy it. I also recommend for your listening pleasure the excellent Home Truths.

Good grief, the end of the world is nigh. Here I am talking about Radio 4, and using the words "trendy" and "young" in the same sentence. Is old age calling me? Good job I lost my hearing as part of the ageing process :-)

Currently listening to Mr Pharmacist from the album Fabric Live 07 by The Fall
