John Peel 1939-2004

John Peel was the best. He introduced me and millions of others to The Fall, The Undertones and also quite a lot of shit drum 'n' bass. His show was like a long bus journey around the world of music (and drum'n'bass).

He also presented Home Truths, the classic start to Saturday mornings ever since I first had a hangover.

I'm very sad now, and will probably not get any work done this afternoon.
