It's just not right and it aint fair. I propose, for those of us who have it, a mass playing of 'Teenage Kicks', the 7" vinyl version, of course. One of the all time greats of the music industry...there's plenty I wouldn't have heard if it hadn't been for him. Much love to all who knew him.
R.I.P. John Peel...I grew up listening to John Peel from 10 to midnight on Radio 1... he played so much great music which I had never heard before......glad to see that the new bands tent at Glastonbury Festival is gonna be renamed the John Peel Stage from next year......
Just got back from holiday (somewhere where you couldn't get news/newspapers thank goodness) and read about John Peel, and just felt so sad. He was almost like a member of the family, his voice coming out of the radio is so carved into my consciousness. He had such an open mind about new music - and was a big Love fan right from the start. RIP John, you'll be missed.
