The Driest Voice

<< Previous Entry | Next Entry>>

Reports Ben Hammersley from Afghanistan:

"One morning late in the week I had to get up really early in the morning, so I set the alarm on my shortwave radio to wake me with the BBC World Service. [...] Squeeeeeeeee Squeeeeee The radio goes mental - it’s like rubbing sheep with cheesegraters. Like a thousand nails on a blackboard. London is screaming. What the hell is that? Sabotage? The effects of an EMP pulse? Major power spiking at Bush House? They’re all dead! What’s going on? Then….a voice… '…I’ve always been partial to a bit of German techno…' John Peel. That Bastard."

No more. John Peel has died at the age of 65.
