Weatherall-for-One
Although Peel’s boots are big and some would say beyond anyone to fill, Weatherall shares a certain brand of musical enthusiasm which has stood out in his seminal production work ranging from Primal Scream (check out The Music That Made Screamadelica) to Fuck Buttons. You can sign up to the Facebook page signifying your “Like” of the whole idea, here. Apparently Weatherall himself is not pushing himself forward for the gig but as Ashley Beedle is only too happy to say: “Andrew Weatherall taking over the John Peel slot would be so natural and so righteous – this man has knowledge, scope, a deep love of music and is one of the great raconteurs of our generation. Come on people – let’s make this happen before Andrew decides to turn left!”
Check the video out below for thoughts from a youthful (and longhaired) Weatherall on the subject of “substance” in music.
