It's "John Peel Day" tomorrow.

Man, you gotta take your hat off for all those bands he 'championed'....whether you like them or not: Carcass, Radiohead, Bolt Thrower, New Order, Bob Marley, Napalm Death...what a list.

Cool dude. I know we've had threads on him before, but you know, one more don't hurt.

Radio and other mainstream outlets desperately need someone willing to take as many risks and expose noncommercial music to the public the way he did...not bloody likely in these Clear Channel days.

 

[Russell]

Cool dude.

Definitely. There are a hell of a lot of gigs on here in his honour today/tomorrow too
