John Peel Died Last Night

For anyone who listened to BBC radio 1, Peel Was the man. A big fan of Underworld and Orbital which got me into his shows. I'll definitely miss him.

:(:(:(

he brought lots of challenging music (grindcore), bands and made it known where the genre deserves it on the airwaves.....

very important man in music indeed :(

wow......i think this is the first time ive seen anyone ever mention underworld or orbital here. I got a chance to see orbital back in 99. lucky me, seeing as they've retired now.

did you hear Orbital's last show on Radio 1 about 2 months ago? Unreal. I met Phil Hartnol when I was in Wales last November for a rally. He is a pretty big car finatic.
