Meta: how deep does the rabbit hole go?

Post a comment here if you know about The Green Taxi Theft, maybe saying where you heard about it from / how many places you saw it posted / whatever. Someone is trying to find out just how far and wide it propogated.

Update: apparently I phrased that badly, or some people's themes don't show links very well. Please post a comment in the linked post ==> here <== if you knew about the taxi theft thing - don't reply to this post. Thanks.

John Peel is dead.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/3955289.stm "Veteran BBC broadcaster John Peel has died at the age of 65" Obituary: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3955369.stm I can't find the words for this. Anyone who cares at all will know why this is so hugely tragic for the British music scene.

John Peel - pics and stuff

Some pictures and biographical notes on the BBC site

I loved this quote:
he was never afraid to speak his mind - he once famously dismissed the mainstream music on Radio 1 as "incredibly predictable porridge".
