How many DJ's do you knowwho can gain such world wide appreciation and acceptance from such a wide range of musical genres? Obviously his ties to Liverpool will have a hell of a lot to do with it but there must be other stuff as well...please use your brains to enlighten me |
||||||||

|
its a dream job, wouldnt you agree? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
he's just a likable broad-minded old fellow |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he's actually much younger than he looks (41) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh wait 41 + about 20 :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But he is the one who made it his job...so cool that established artists just send him remixes and original tracks for him to play on his show. I wish I was John Peels ears. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wish i knew how he made it - i guess he was lucky, he probably started playing decent music (not only popular) and artists that dont get much attention otherwise started to contact him...his life must be totally devoted to music tho-imagine how many records must he listen to... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
+ 22 actually :) I'm not a fan of the indie rock he plays a lot of, but that's tempered by his broad taste of different styles. He certainly doesn't fall into the trap a lot of DJs do of once they hit the big time they "play it safe" and play well liked stuff to avoid falling off the gravy train. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its good to know its possible to like electronic music at +60 :) |
||||||||
|

|
|
the same I thought money? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ehm, im a bit lost here...you think he's been doing it for the money? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The only reason I've heard of him is because of autechre's peel sessions. Their route through him doesn't exactly make him cool... I mean... they chose THIS site for a remix competition. I rest my case. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm a little bit confused. how old is he? is he in his 40s or 60s? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, but he was cool anyway.. his show is completely unpredictable, the other week, he played a track called 'Kick The Pregnant' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you have your doubts coz i didn't submit! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
apperantly he's 63 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wish Mr Peel was my grandad =oD |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How cool would that be? I reckon he'd get you really good albums for xmas and birthdays rather than the usual socks/books etc. grandparents tend to go for. Trips to his house would be sweet too, "Grandad, can I listen to your unreleased IDM peel sessions?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like him a lot... when I first listened to his show (many years ago) it helped me get into lots of stuff. The first time I heard Eazy-E was on Peel! also... Death Metal, hardcore, techno etc... so much stuff which at the time no-one was playing on the radio. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...and it's funny how he still makes loads of mistakes, like playing the wrong tunes, the wrong speed and generally being well sketchy! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Your name would be pOgO Peel? hehehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's wicked how he doesn't notice for ages that it's at the wrong speed or wrong track, etc. I remember one time he played something at 45 instead of 33, stopped it, pointed out his mistake, played it on at the correct speed, then decided he prefered it at 45 so put the speed back up. All without restarting the track. Genius. |

my old job´s receptionists boyfriend said he taped every John peel session recorded........ now that would be sweet to get. i saw him DJ at Sonar, 2001. everything from Nolan sisters to kid606 ....and it worked! |
||||||||

Peeley was at the scene when Lee Harvey Oswald was assassinated! He was a DJ at a Dallas radio station. Interesting but not really usefull information. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
which is the first peel session ever? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehehe, thats a nice story freekin' granpa... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't know... i'd bet on either joy division or the fall but thats a total guess! maybe something even earlier. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah i got that wrong stiff little fingers were before them at least... and the undertones. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he is a god. no-one has had a more direct impact on my musical tastes than peel, when i was a teenager i found so much cool music that was out there and i never knew about. i have him to thank for that. i was lucky enough to spend a evening in the maida vale studio with a few others watching luke slater do a live session a few ago. john peel was fast asleep in the corner when we came into the studio 5 minutes before the show started! how cool is that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
John Peel has even had my gran singing along in the car when he played Geraldo. He followed that with something like Anal Cunt which my gran was less impressed with O_o |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he just is... it's one of the unexplainable mystery's of life.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dun listen to tha radio much, and ah think that Peel plays too much shite, credit tae him fer being so open minded but. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Coz he plays the best sounds. Sometimes. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he is SO avuncular |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He does advert voiceovers too. Andrex was one of them. Now that IS cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn, you beat me to the punch jonesy :| |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe John Peel is soft, strong and very very long ;o, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Never heard of him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he is the only dj ive heard play cowcube...and im glad he does or else i wouldnt have heard any cowcube! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have you never heard of the plaid, autechre or boards of canada peel sessions? or the nirvana, pj harvey, jeff mills, dj shadow, jimi hendrix, squarepusher etc. etc. etc. peel sessions? some of them must have filtered over the the US surely? |
||||||||
|
|

He is fantastic, he's be even better if he didn't play so much cheesey, banal techno. If you like eclectic radioshows, try Mixing It. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good show that, its much more eclectic than peel. presenters haven't got peel's godlike qualities unfortunately. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he's my hero - i love you john wherever you are! :) responsible for getting me into the acid house scene, i used to record his show on a regular basis then copy tracks i liked onto another tape. eclectic is the best word to describe his taste but as he once said if you liked everything he played you'd be him! ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he's not cool |
