Peel’s comparing debut on Top Of The Pops: “In case you’re wondering who this funny old bloke is, I’m the one who comes on Radio 1 late at night and plays records made by sulky Belgian art students in basements dying of TB.”<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

What sound<\/a> does not create the grandest of consequence? This October 13th was the one year anniversary of the very last session played by the late John Peel<\/a><\/b>. For you in the Americas, John Peel<\/a> was the man whose tastes dictated law in the land of new music. Your media failed you if you didn’t know this already. He died of a heart attack last October while on vacation with his family in Peru, a tragedy<\/a>. The BBC has been putting together tribute concerts for him all week.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Here are some of Peel’s stories, collected from a series of interviews with Simon Garfield<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Here is a collection of legally free downloads of music that he’s played<\/b><\/a>, as well as a toss of links relating to other pages of Peel and information. <\/p>\n

Here is his list of twenty favourite albums,<\/a><\/b> with a bit of Peel information on each. There is a BBC list of links at the bottom of the page that are well worth going through. <\/p>\n

Speech-only MP3s of Peel standing in for Mark Radclffe in October 1996, with guests Lee & Herring and Stuart Maconie.<\/a><\/b> Nearly all the music has been edited out (bar a Swedish Elvis impersonator), leaving 50 minutes’ worth of deadly genius. All reports agree that Peel’s contributions on the second MP3 are particularly fine.<\/p>\n

A comprehensive list of his Festive 50’s<\/b>,<\/a> a yearly listener’s poll of favourite records.<\/p>\n

“I know that I’m going to die trying to read the name of some band in the headlights of a car behind me, and then drive into a truck in front. People will say, ‘Oh, this is the way he would have wanted to go.'”<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
