somethings always hit you harder. maybe there isn't an apparent reason why. its just there. hence the death of a beloved dj has hit home. knocked me out of my boots for the day. made me think just for a moment. this man was about music - he lived and breathed new music. always seeming to introduce his listeners to something different. really amazing. though i didnt know the man, i only knew his peel sessions and radio show, i feel the loss. the man loved music. and introduced others to countless musicians who they in turn loved. a good man. i am sad he is gone.
right after i found out about his death i emailed karyn. she wrote the following:
you must be psychic....i was just reading about his death when i got your message...i am sad too....without him, the world would have been filled with nothing but crappy MOR....his seal of approval certainly helped shape what i ended up listening to...those peel sessions albums were brilliant....i raise my glass to the late, great john peel.
and so tonight, karyn and i will head out and raise a glass in his honour! thanks peelie.
to see his festive 50 lists go here

i feel absolutely gutted. i just read that john peel died.
i miss him already. music wont be the same without him.

will i ever not be tired again?
in running you have to pace yourself. you try not to go out to fast, you warm your legs up, and then kick it up a notch, always mindful and respectful of the distance you have to travel. one would think i might have thought the same of festivalling. but no, i did not.
too many movies, shoved into a short time span, all the while trying to maintain my schedule of work, working out and friends. all i can say is by wednesday i was pooped. even a good nights sleep hasnt helped much. i feel exhausted and the last thing i want to do is go to the movies. that in itself is sacriledge. anyways, the movies i saw were
childstar - directed by don mckeller. um what can i say, loathed the way his introduction of the film mirrored the first scenes. some people laughed. i groaned and thought "good grief"
its all gone pete tong - another hilarious movie directed by Michael Dowse.
Crónicas - an excellent, disturbing, beautifully shot film from Ecuador. go see this if it gets distribution in your area.
the motorcycle diaries - tour de force really. amazing images of south america. excellent performances. a sweet tale of che before he was che. loved de la sernas performance!
and l'intrus - claire denis did this one. sadly i was exhausted at this point (screening started late an i was already sleep deprived). imagery very interesting. not sure that it came together for me though.
