Peel
So, The Space just released John Peel's record collection here: http://thespace.org/items/s000004u . It might be the most gorgeous thing I have ever seen. It contains over 26,000 LPs, 40,000 singles and many thousands of CDs. In addition to that, the site has links to his legendary Peel Sessions, which everyone from The Who to Bowie to T Rex to Killing Joke to Jesus Lizard Nirvana to The Hot Snakes has made. This is a veritable feast of rock and roll from someone who truly loves the subject and not just for the riches or celebrity it might help you achieve. Plus, there are documentaries and photographs. Dude was a treasure to the world to say the least. If I had not started looking through these I might have had more blogs up for my future grading in my English class. Sidenote: donnot choose a subject you might find boring to write a 1500 word paper about because you will regret the hell out of it about 900 words in. 600 words could not be further away. I hope my lethargy is not glaringly obvious when it comes to teach grading the bad boy. At least I have these sessions to keep me company.
