[koogy@...]

Has this been mentioned before?

The Evolution of John Peel [1]

"Ever since he came off the pirate ships and joined Radio 1 in 1967,
John Peel was a champion of new, exciting and occasionally challenging
music like no other DJ. 

Today BBC Radio 6 Music lives on in that pioneering spirit, with its
presenters continuing the passion and love he showed for new music. 

Mary-Anne Hobbs presents the first show in this five-part series, which
this week covers the 1970s. 

Highlights include Tyrannosaurus Rex performing live for John at the BBC
Paris Theatre at the turn of the decade, a legendary Peel session from
Joy Division, reggae and roots from Culture, Swedish punk from Attentat,
and the band Peel frequently cited as the best in the world, The
Undertones."
