somethings always hit you harder. maybe there isn't an apparent reason why. its just there. hence the death of a beloved dj has hit home. knocked me out of my boots for the day. made me think just for a moment. this man was about music - he lived and breathed new music. always seeming to introduce his listeners to something different. really amazing. though i didnt know the man, i only knew his peel sessions and radio show, i feel the loss. the man loved music. and introduced others to countless musicians who they in turn loved. a good man. i am sad he is gone.
right after i found out about his death i emailed karyn. she wrote the following:
you must be psychic....i was just reading about his death when i got your message...i am sad too....without him, the world would have been filled with nothing but crappy MOR....his seal of approval certainly helped shape what i ended up listening to...those peel sessions albums were brilliant....i raise my glass to the late, great john peel.
and so tonight, karyn and i will head out and raise a glass in his honour! thanks peelie.
