John Peel Day

Just a reminder that today is the celebration of a man who changed modern music forever. BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, who passed on a year ago at age 65, and brought innovative live sessions and cutting-edge new music from punk to hiphop to electronica to country to millions worldwide via Radio 1 and the World Service. If you're playing alternative rock on the air today, Peel is to thank for many of the bands you know getting their start. I highly encourage anyone who has the song to play "Teenage Kicks" by the Undertones in tribute to John's life in music. Surely you can skip one Staind record and play it. Happy Peel Day everyone, and long may John's spirit live on in the hearts of those who truly believe in the power of rock and roll to change the world.

And if you want to make a mini-special:
"Jimmy Jimmy", "Get Over You" and "It's Going to Happen" by the Undertones, "Never Never" by the Assembly, and "A Good Heart" and "You Little Thief" by Feargal Sharkey (who was the lead singer for both the Undertones and the Assembly).

Sharkey said in an interview once that he credited John Peel with making him visible in the punk/new wave community. He's got an interesting voice.<P ID="signature">______________

Peel was a true pioneer. A definite influnce on me. He brought so many new bands, and music movements into the light. Wish the Jack, Dave, Bob formats would take his lead...

Where ever you are John. Thanks, and cheers from all of us still looking for "Teenage Kicks"!


PS> your right about Feargal Sharkey. He does have a interesting voice, and is quite talented as well!<P ID="signature">______________
