[peel] Irreplaceable

<< everyone seems to discuss his recent programmes and ignore his real 
groundbreaking work of the late 60's and early 70's. >>

(to paraphrase Steve Coogan) It's what he would have wanted!.

He was always far more interested in the unheard pile of new stuff than any 
of the discs which filled his house (& Shed) filed under "Old"!

And no-one listened to his show unless they wanted to hear the newest unheard 
bands - that was just as true in the '60s as it was until 2 weeks ago!

OK we are all allowing ourselves the luxury of nostalgia to get us through 
this week - But where he'll really be missed is over the next few years - who 
knows how many new bands and projects will just give up because no-one gets to 
hear their stuff!
