Truly devistating news to all of us who’ve faithfully listened to the Peel program (and its wonderful live Peel Sessions) over the years.

    i’m glad you acknowledged his passing–i don’t think many americans (of which i am one) really knew about him or appreciated him…but he’s the reason why anyone even knows about so many great bands. it’s a shame. RIP
