Fail-proof riff

petronia(Ced, I just realised I've had your audio cord lying on my desk for weeks. ^^; Please. Remind me of these things, you know that's what it takes... Are you coming to Tania's on Thursday?)
I only realised John Peel was an actual person a couple of months before he died; I'd always thought the name was... was one of those institutional anthropomorphizations. Id est that that particularly venerable BBC music programme was called "John Peel" like the Federal National Mortgage Association is called "Fannie Mae", which about says it all really. ^^; Thus I can't say I was really saddened about his death per se, not in the way one is when a familiar radio personality dies (it's happened to me). But when I went to the Lali Puna concert they dedicated a song to John Peel; a new song. "We premiered this on a Peel Session that was recorded only a couple of weeks ago," they said, and all of a sudden the thought came to me: no more Peel Sessions, ever again. Of anyone.
...Though all of that is really just a lead-in to the following: is it just me, or is the Phantom of the Opera Theme actually the bassline to the Undertones' "Teenage Kicks"? Or am I just hearing it everywhere now?

Ack, no need to feel sorry for me re the lack of Christmas booty! ^^; I know I'll be getting a couple of gifts this week; I have gifts to give as well. I just thought it would be funny, because the flist is full of people enumerating the shiny schtuff they received, but... I guess it's not. XD;;
***
In other news that's not very funny, UNICEF Canada's emergency donation form is here. (Which emergency, it asks you. Indian Ocean? Beslan? Sudan? Haiti? Some days it's hard to justify that $40 sushi dinner, and not because of its effect on one's personal budget.) In case some people on the flist haven't seen yet.

Date: 2004-12-28 10:36 pm (UTC)d'ye ken John Peel with his coat so gay / d'ye ken john peel at the break of day
- etc etc, about a huntsman of the English persuasion. Peelie (real surname not 'Peel') co-opted the name when a DJ in the US, cashing in on his Englishness during Beatlemania.
No more Peel sessions ever again, no. It's a sad thought; like... not only has your favourite uncle died (Peelie was, I think, most people's favourite uncle), but also you'll never be able to go to the football with him again. Except more so.
