Oh gods.

I'm absolutely shellshocked. That's so sad - he had such enormous enthusiasm.

"stunned" and "hugely missed" Sound right to me. What a huge loss to the airwaves.

Oh no. That's terrible. I knew I'd hear this news one day but I thought it would be a long way off.

Oh shit. I knew it was bad news when I saw I had a text from [livejournal.com profile] swisstone...

And me without a copy of 'Teenage Kicks' to hand. Have to be The Fall, then.

Just startled the girl in the next office with spontaneous expletives. John Peel can't die. I want to speak to the manager. 8-(

That's me - death's messenger.

Can you access your e-mail account from work, and can it take a 1.8 Mb file?

Unfortunately, like many corporations, the Management avoids direct contact with the consumer, and His customer support personnel do not have the authority to change company policy.

I can't belive this. It is so sad.

As soneone on the messages board said; everytime I hear a record played at the wrong speed I will think of him.

While me exploding "John Peel's died" in my office caused the guy who sits behind me to say "Who's John Peel?"

I'm genuinely surprised that someone would not know, even if they didn't give a toss whether he'd died or not.

Well Heidrun didn't know either, but she has the slight excuse of being german...

I can, and it could, but better not. I have a stack of The Fall, and will play The Undertones when I get home. Thanks, though.

I know. Even though he was 65 he was full of life. But at least it was not something lingering. Still, I wonder if he had not been in Peru whether he would have survived?

I remeber for ages we loved a flaming lips track called lucifer rising which we later found we were playing the wrong side at the wrong speed.

A very John Peel moment.

Indeedy.

Planning the next gigantor playlist already.

We are never told what might have been, I suppose.
