Anyone listening to the tribute on Radio 1. Superb stuff. Title: John Peel Post by: Kinky Tom on Thursday, October 13, 2005, 18:34:33 I might do in a bit - will probably play pro evo, so will slap it on.

Title: John Peel Post by: Rich Pullen on Thursday, October 13, 2005, 20:24:41 I cannot believe it's a year ago since he died.
I've missed his show. Title: John Peel Post by: sonicyouth on Thursday, October 13, 2005, 20:33:51 trying to work but the radio is too distracting, can't turn it off though...
Title: John Peel Post by: oxford_fan on Friday, October 14, 2005, 13:43:27 listened to his fabric mix cd this morning.

Title: John Peel Post by: Northern Red on Friday, October 14, 2005, 14:43:40 :old: Without trying to upset everyone, was he really great enough for a John Peel day
It's not like he saved the world or anything... Title: John Peel Post by: blinkpip on Friday, October 14, 2005, 14:44:56 I didn't even know who he was till he died. :oops:

Absolutely, the guy was a legend. I cried when I heard he was dead and I don't normally cry about anything.

Title: John Peel Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Friday, October 14, 2005, 15:55:37 I'm sure we all secretly shed a tear on that sad day. :(

Quote from: "Ben Wah Balls" I'm sure we all secretly shed a tear on that sad day. :( its no secret. actually i cant remember if i cried.Title: John Peel Post by: Sussex on Friday, October 14, 2005, 16:20:20 Quote from: "Northern Red" :old: Without trying to upset everyone, was he really great enough for a John Peel day Yes. He unearthed some truly great bands (who may never have got a break otherwise), these went on to influence new bands and so on... The music scene today, IMO, would be very different if it were not for him. Someone mentioned eclectic, spot on. From The Fall to Happy Hardcore via Pulp last night. I cried too, but I'm gay, so that's allowed :D Title: John Peel Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Friday, October 14, 2005, 16:24:23 You can't get more eclectic than John peel. World music followed by drum and bass followed by a 4 second death metal track from Sweden followed by a crackly old 78, bit of reggae, then an obscure indie band. Safe as fuck.
I actually found out he'd died when I read oxford fa's rip john peel post on thisis.

Without a doubt, yes. |
