Ooh. "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight" was my first Postal Service song. I love it too. And ooh, "July, July!" And I didn't know "Higher Ground" was a cover.
And of course, I have no clue about this "Black Velvet" business.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

You need to listen to Stevie Wonder, P-C. A lot. A lot a lot.

Ah, Dismemberment Plan! And that is actually a mix cd formula that I've never seen before. How rare and exciting.

RIP John Peel. I've been listening to his show since I was 11. It's no exaggeration to say that british rock music would be unrecognisable without him.

Was just about to post that. So very very sad.

More to say about Peel. Since the late 60s, he'd been playing the latest, weirdest, wildest music every week. He was the first to play everything from Pink Floyd to Dizzee Rascal on national radio. Every music fan I know thought of him as their favourite uncle. For me his voice and new music is inseperable - the number of songs I automatically associate with the little snatch of him talking caught on a tape I made of his show when I was 14 is uncountable. From when I was 11 to this last week, every time I listened to his show I heard something brilliant. It'd be easier for me to list the bands I love that I didn't first hear on Peel. I hate phrases like end of an era, but UK music radio will never be the same again.

To steal a line from a blogger about Peel:
It's like part of the culture going - like a library burning.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
That's an apt statement. RIP, John Peel.
