An austere childhood in Glasgow has proved to be a source of inspiration for a number of his books and CDs, notably Life In A Scotch Sitting Room, Vol II, which was rereleased on CD in 1995, recorded from a series on Radio Clyde in 1977.(P) In 1940, he became an apprentice fitter with Rolls Royce, and shortly after that, he trained as a navigator with the RAF. He was too absent-minded for military life, however, and claimed he was dismissed for dreaminess. After the second World War, Cutler became a teacher, dispensing his vague wisdom in drama and poetry to children at various schools in London. As the 1950s rolled into the 1960s, his reputation as a performance poet began to filter out not only to London's fringe movements but nationwide (he broadcast 38 stories on BBC radio's Monday Night At Home programme between 1959 and 1963) and it wasn't too long after this that he came to the attention of The Beatles.(P) In a small but suitably surreal role, Cutler appeared in the Fab Four's Magical Mystery Tour as the character, Buster Bloodvessel. True cultdom followed when he was picked up by John Peel, for whom he still records snippets of weirdness. Now a frail but flinty man approaching his 80s, Cutler lives in a flat in Parliament Hill Fields, London, venturing out occasionally to perform his unique poetry to a select, loyal group of fans. Should you ever wish to visit him, he gives directions to his home on his album Prince Ivor (where he also advises any potential caller to remember to bring a spoon with them - he doesn't like sharing his cutlery). When he has the energy, he loves cycling; he dislikes noise pollution, and gets most annoyed if anyone at his concerts whistles too loudly. At one concert a few years ago, his hands continually shook while holding his prose and poetry books. He said that if there were any medical people in the audience, he was not, contrary to what they might think, suffering from tertiary syphilis. 'I am not your middle-of-the-road, big, popular 'Hi everybody!' kind of person,' he informed the Daily Telegraph in 1997. Surprise, surprise. By the way, anyone planning to go into a jungle in the near future should check out Cutler's savvy selection of Jungle Tips (on Life In A Scotch Sitting Room, Vol II). They could save your life. Then again, maybe not.

The singer passed away this afternoon from lymphoma at New York Presbyterian Hospital. The Forest Hills native was diagnosed with the disease last month. Joey became the lead singer of the Ramones only after his drumming proved too rudimentary to keep up with his bandmates' thunderous riffs. Joey Ramone was born Jeffrey Hyman on May 19th, 19-52. His career started during the early 19-70s glam-rock era, when he played in several New York bands - occasionally under the name Jeff Starship. But his collaboration with Dee Dee, Johnny and Tommy Ramone was something special. They became fixtures in downtown clubs like Max's Kansas City, joining fellow punkers like Patti Smith and Richard Hell. (more) (more) Obituary - Joey Ramone, punk founding father, dead at 49 Joey Ramone, punk founding father, dead at 49 By LARRY McSHANE The Associated Press 4/15/01 9:06 PM NEW YORK (AP) -- Singer Joey Ramone, the punk rock icon whose signature yelp melded with the Ramones' three-chord thrash to launch an explosion of bands like the Clash and the Sex Pistols, died Sunday. He was 49. Ramone, the gangly lead singer with the leather jacket, tinted glasses and permanently-torn jeans, was hospitalized in March 2001 with lymphoma. His death was confirmed Sunday by Arturo Vega, the Ramone's longtime artistic director. The Ramones -- its four members adopted the common last name after forming the band in 1974 -- came out of Queens, a motley collection of local losers with limited musical skills. Joey became the lead singer only after his drumming proved too rudimentary to keep up with his bandmates' thunderous riffs. While British bands such as the Sex Pistols and Clash received the media attention once punk rock exploded, both were schooled by the Ramones' tour of England that began on the U.S. Bicentennial -- July 4, 1976. "They changed the world of music. They rescued rock and roll from pretentiousness and unnecessary adornments," said Vega. Their "do-it-yourself," garage-rock influence still echoes today in bands like Green Day and the Offspring. The low-tech Ramones spent just two days and $6,000 recording their 1976 debut album. "They're the daddy punk group of all time," said Joe Strummer, lead singer of the Clash, in a recent Spin magazine interview. Despite their influence and critical acclaim, the Ramones never cracked the Top 40. Bruce Springsteen, after seeing the Ramones in an Asbury Park, N.J., club, wrote "Hungry Heart" for the band -- but his manager convinced The Boss to keep the eventual hit single. The Ramones' best-known songs reflected their twisted teen years in Queens: "Beat on the Brat," "I Wanna Be Sedated," "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue," "Teenage Lobotomy," "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker." Joey Ramone was born Jeffrey Hyman on May 19, 1951. His career started during the early 1970s glam-rock era, when he played in several New York bands -- occasionally under the name Jeff Starship. But his collaboration with Dee Dee, Johnny and Tommy Ramone was something special. They became fixtures in downtown clubs like CBGBs and Max's Kansas City, joining fellow punkers like Patti Smith and Richard Hell. The scene eventually produced commercially successful bands like Blondie and the Talking Heads. The Ramones recorded their first album of two-minute, three-chord blasts in February 1976. The band then earned a loyal cult following with a seemingly endless string of tours where they would crank out 30 songs in 90 minutes. In 1979, Joey and the band appeared in the Roger Corman movie "Rock N' Roll High School," contributing the title song to the soundtrack. They also did the title track for the film "Pet Semetary," based on the book by Ramones fan Stephen King. Their last real stab at commercial success came in a bizarre 1980 collaboration with producer Phil Spector -- a session that bassist Dee Dee Ramone recalled most for Spector's pulling a gun on the band inside his Beverly Hills mansion. Joey eventually wound up singing a syrupy version of Spector's classic "Baby, I Love You" -- the strangest recording of the band's 22-year career. The Spector-produced "End of the Century" did become the Ramones' best-selling record, hitting No. 44 on the charts. Five years later, the band released "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg" -- Joey Ramone's angry rant about President Reagan's visit to a German military cemetery. The Ramones disbanded in 1996 after a tour that followed their final studio album, "Adios Amigos." A live farewell tour album, "We're Outta Here!", was released in 1997. Since the band's demise, Joey Ramone kept a fairly low profile -- occasionally popping up to perform or host shows at Manhattan clubs, making occasional radio show appearances, and working on a solo album that was never released.

The BBC has stopped their broadcasting on analog satellite 2 weeks ago and now I'm deprived of what has been a religious following of Peel's show (with all the tapings involved). I have yet to figure out a way to see if by acquiring the digital satellite it is still possible to get radio one over here. The internet is out of the question because it would be almost cheaper for me to take a plane and come to the uk to listen through a standard FM radio. Plus the sound quality is not as good as it was with the satellite. Since in the last two weeks I've already missed real treats and I've seen that this week essential mix will be by Richie Hawtin I was wondering if any peel listener is going to tape the 2 hour mix and eventually is willing to send it to me. This e-mail is Peel related in the sense that Richie Hawtin is one of John's darlings. I would also really appreciate if anyone on the list who was listening to radio one via the Astra satellite knows what should I do now. Thanks, Giovanni p.s. I'm desperate. From stuff1424@...
