This Peel Session is dedicted to John Peel OBE who
died suddenly from a Heart Attack on 26th October
2004 while on Holiday in Peru, he was 65
----------
"It would be absolutely impossible to write a history
of the last 40 years of the British music scene
without mentioning John Peel's name. He was one of
those few people about whom you could truly say that
the world would have been a much different place
without him.
For many years he almost single-handedly championed
new & challenging music in the U.K. Through his radio
sessions he allowed unknown & unsigned bands to be
heard for the first time. Through his work with the
BBC World Service he brought some of those same bands
to a Worldwide audience. On the few occasions I was
fortunate enough to meet him I found him to be a
witty but quite shy man who was completely
unimpressed by the "razzmatazz" of the music industry
but who could instantly lay his hands on any obscure
single you could mention hearing on his show whilst
in your teens.
My teens were when Peel was most important to me I
guess: the local radio stations wouldn't play any
"Punk Rock" cos they thought it "wasn't music". One
night in frustration I started tuning the dial &
suddenly - Bang! - there it was; I caught the end of
an Elvis Costello track, heard the dry, slightly
droney voice that followed & I was hooked. A whole
new world opened up - stuff that you would never get
to hear anywhere else. & it was fun! It wasn't dry &
academic - the monologues that invariably followed
each song were often as entertaining as the tracks
themselves (sometimes more so).
In a world that is becoming ever more homogenised &
pre-programmed John Peel stuck up for the "sore
thumbs" of the music scene & I really can't think of
anyone who could have done it better or who's going
to do it now he's gone. I will miss him greatly & my
utmost sympathy goes out to his friends & family."
- Jarvis Cocker
----------
The Aphrodisiacs are Stephen McFall - vocals, guitar,
keyboard, Kevin Carlin - drums and bass and John
Cairns - guitar and bass and hail form the Scottish
town of Motherwell.
Sometime in 2002 they realised they weren't playing
music with any other bands and decided to do
something about it. With a palmtop digital studio and
Super Mario racing on in the background they set out
to record something with a dance beat and wierd
keyboard noises. the results were to become the title
track from their new album, "this is a campaign". Man
like Peel enjoyed the track, started playing it on
his show on Radio One and soon invited them down to
the world famous maida vale studios in london to
record a session for his show. later that year the
track featured in his festive fifty chart, voted for
by listeners to his show. Now they're back for more
Festive Fifty action.
