John Peel Day 2 : 12th October
A second “John Peel Day” marking the anniversary of the music legend’s final broadcast on Radio 1 has been confirmed for Thursday 12th October 2006.
Last year, on the first anniversary of Peel’s last Radio 1 show, more than 500 events took place across the UK and around the world.
This year, music fans, bands, artists and DJs are being encouraged to stage their own gigs and club nights in honour of Peel.
Radio 1 will report live from John Peel Day events on October 12, and broadcast a host of classic Peel Sessions. The station also announced Radio 1’s Peel Night, a special gig dedicated to Peel on a date in October during the BBC Electric Proms.
John’s widow Sheila Ravenscroft said: “I hope many bands and venues will want to celebrate John’s anniversary. “There is so much good new music around – everyone should have a fantastic night.”
Radio 1 live music and events editor Jason Carter: “Last year’s first John Peel Day was a phenomenal success with over 500 artists and bands and music promoters at every level hosting live events both within the UK and around the world in John Peel’s name. October the 12th is a day in which we can celebrate the great man, new music and continue his legacy.”

how true this is! and i’m guilty of it too, hopefully not anymore.
[it is with great irony that this post can have the same title and follow that of yesterday]
as an irishman and one of the founding nations of the `the council of europe’ i am deeply shocked and embarassed by the following:
my government has sold our nation and its people done the river. unfortunately i do not have the time to rant on the contents of this story, suffice it to say, they are not doing it in my interests as a citizen of ireland.

i was checking the bbc news technology section today and came across a story on these guys: flock.com. the webbrowser looks really cool and i have started to play with the bits that are of interest to me.
earlier today i tried to install the developer version for linux but failed! i think that might have something to do with the x64 box i have.
