i honestly don't think that anyone expected john peel to die at such a young age and we certainly never expected to be having this conversation for real.

r.i.p. john peel.
the grandfather of individual taste in music , hilarious studio technical problems , and playing records at the wrong speed.
he will be sadly missed.
