Perusing the concert listings the last couple weeks I had been cheered that some band out there had decided to call themselves "Led Zeppelin 2", which I thought was an awesome and ballsy name for a band. Except that it turns out to be just a Led Zeppelin cover band Sad, which makes it a much less interesting (and much less awesome) name.

I don't know why that possibility hadn't occurred to me - here I was thinking it was some beardy folk singer or something.

There was an Arrowsmith 2 in Athens several years ago.

From Wiki: "The album cover was inspired by Beauty and the Beast, with Byrne as a "Buzz Lightyear-like" beauty and Clark as a grotesque beast." Not exactly a triumph of cover art, but her jaw isn't normally like that. I think.

I can still vividly recall walking home from school in about 1985 with my friend Guy. At that time, I was listening to early U2, Simple Minds, Depeche Mode, also The Cure, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Sisters, goth stuff. Anyway, Guy told me to check out this bloke on the radio called John Peel. Monday to Thursday, 10 til midnight. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say it changed my life. I spent the next two years listening religiously and was completely besotted with the C86 indie wave, which coincided with me starting to go to gigs. As I got to 18/19 and dropped out of school, I used to tape it every night (I'd get my mum to start and end the taping if I was down the pub. Then the next day, I'd skim through the whole 2 hour programme and tape-to-tape transfer all the best songs. June Brides, The Fall, Wedding Present, Soup Dragons, Weather Prophets, Pogues, Stump, Bogshed, Close Lobsters, Blue Aeroplanes, Woodentops, Jasmine Minks, Big Flame, Happy Mondays, That Petrol Emotion, McCarrthy, The Shop Assistants, James etc etc etc. Not only that, I'd tape little snippets of Peel being wry, funny, pissed off, playing things at the wrong speed, talking about the Pig and the children (who were then very young, similar ages to mine now in fact) and then I'd use those to segue the songs I'd culled, making the most fantastic C90 compilations. I must have had 9 or 10 of those by the time I stopped, all with little black and white 'cover star' photos inserted into the case, cut out from issues of Melody Maker or NME. All gone now, like John. When I sometimes teach my students with the theme of 'heroes', I always use him as my example.

Anyway, sorry to splurge incoherently, but when I think about John Peel, I get kind of discombobulated. Thanks for the link, KDSB>

Wow nick that is incredible. I did the same thing in middle school with taping songs from the radio but it was all late 90s alt grunge and r&b. And of course no icon like John peel was around to my knowledge.
