there is no god

Via WFMU's Beware of the Blog, chilling news from the BBC:

Sir Elton John is joining a group of musicians recording a tribute song to the late DJ John Peel.

He will sing and play piano on a cover of the Buzzcocks hit Ever Fallen in Love, alongside The Who's Roger Daltrey and Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant.

The single will be first played simultaneously across all BBC radio stations on 10 October.

John Peel did nothing to deserve this.  Have mercy.  The Wikipedia article linked to above is wrong, though; the Buzzcocks' best single was undoubtedly "Orgasm Addict".  Still, this is tragic news.

My other favorite band. Totally!
Even met Pete Shelley once and have his autograph on a photomontage portrait I made of him. I've collaged him into several things.... couldn't even say which song is best.
Everybody's Happy Nowadays is good.
So is Autonomy.
