I thought this was going to be another Sly and Reggie thread.

[woodrot]

are those the bearded prigs that cruise around in a Morry pickup , pumping out dub ?

John Peel's influence and championship of the new is undisputed but he was also absolute proof that if you throw enough shite at the wall some of it will stick. He played a load of old shite often.

Er, JP also played a fair bit of dub and was bearded.....

I thought that was the point of JP, the fun was in sifting through the dross to find gold.

Plus he loved Half Man Half Biscuit so he will always be alright by me.

So JP says at the end of the day all bands want to do is be successful and make money. Apart from HMHB says JP who did their 2 albumns and then split. Sadly of course they got back together but I enjoyed telling them this story when they first reunited in the late 80s.

He also said that bands should compulsory split up after three albums. Apart from the Fall. Sadly Coldplay were still in Nappies when he gave this prophetic view.
