John Peel Had An Immeasurable Impact on Club Culture
"What always struck me was the fact that his method for choosing what
to play on the show was so arbitrary.
He called the system 'childish and unfair'. He worked out that every
week, if he listened around the clock every day, he received three weeks'
worth of music, so he often chose the music that came in good sleeves
(skulls particularly appealed), or by bands with great names, or that
he'd been handed in a taxi on the way to work.
My wish is that someone, somewhere, in these times of marketeers,
methodisers, playlisters, whatever, can step up to do the same . . . (more)"
He will be missed
