# I'm glad you agree
If it's in any way "indie", she likes it and invariably it's shite. Grrr!

Edit: And she thinks she's some sort of influential guru. Pah! Pretentious cnut!

Edit: Edit: And she talks to pretentiously as well, like some jazz club cnut.

Shit shit shit shit shit ...
The man was a god in my eyes. Bugger.
And oddly I had a dream involving going to see him about 4 days ago.

R.I.P. John, you played the music that I grew up with and helped me learn to listen to the world. You will be missed by millions.

He was a genuine guy who gave my mates band The Family Cat a break on the peel sessions coz they played him a demo on the ferry coming back from Ireland. Sadly Missed. Nice work too by the way.

They were ace weren't they. And they had FCUK T-shirts years before French Connection did.

I'll miss you John.

Perhaps now these new crap bands wont get the recognition they don't deserve.

# you imbecile
what kinda crap do you listen to? if you you listen anything other than mass produced boy/girl band written in a boardroom ramilton he would of given the artist their first air on radio. if you like anything from hardhouse to bolivian pan pipe music he would of played it if its anygood, the greatest dj ever just because he played what he wanted to. his whole ethos was that your not going to like everything but just give it a go and make your own mind up. now go and listen to some more robbie williams and shut your illeducated arsehole. thankyou.

RIP Sir John Peel OBE a true music lover and thoroughly nice guy.
