John Peel
As a reformed former college radio DJ (one can reform just so much
from that - it's chronic). I am saddened and feel a great loss at the
passing of John Peel
BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Legendary radio DJ John Peel dies.
I read a number of obits for him in a number of News outlets, but since
he was with the Beeb I linked to the BBC article. Another nice feature
offered in a side bar is a small slide show of some of the acts he was
influntial in the careers of: In pictures: The John Peel hit list including the Fall, Joy Division, Smiths and the White Stripes.
His own web page over at the BBC Radio 1 - John Peel
is full of information on his influence on the course of anglo american
rock. I primarily know of his work through the Peel Sessions collection
- live recordings he would invite bands to perform at the BBC's
studio's. There is a link to full list of these from that page each
giving the full details of that session.
Sign this one - For whom the bell Peels.
