having a night in listening to it all on the radio and wishing i was somewhere joining in the celebrations of john's life. anyone caught any orbital references yet?

I havent but i only listened to a bit of the radio today. I DID catch Richard James speaking about John Peel on Radio 1 though. Wasnt expecting that.

p.s. had a great night out tonight. great turnout. party atmosphere. more of it

Well, I went to the gig in the QEH on Wednesday (after drinking since 3:30pm)!

Got to the venue just in time for Delia Smith to introduce Super Furry Animals, and then prompty slept through their entire half an hour set!

For New Order (introduced by Fergal Sharkey), I woke up again, rushed down to the mosh pit that was down the front and got treated to 6 Joy Division tracks (including Shadowplay, Warsaw, Love Will Tear Us Apart, She's Lost Control, Transmission and Atmosphere) - fcuking excellent!

RIP, John - I'll be buying the autobiography on Monday - it looks really good (had a glance through my brother's copy - he works in a bookshop - gets stuff early)

Currently listening to Annie Nightingale playing the last Maida Vale gig...
...including all the "Badger Badger" shouts!

Woo hoo!
