Today is the seventh anniversary of the passing of John Robert Parker Ravenscroft, known to the music world as John Peel, the legendary English DJ and tastemaker who died in 2004 at age 65. Last week, a Los Angeles DJ and promoter who keeps the Peel flame burning, Part Time Punks’ Michael Stock, did a “Tribute to John Peel” on his KXLU program, collecting several of the “Peel Sessions” that bands recorded in the BBC studios. Good listening, very educational.
