Slarty Fart Blaster Posted October 27, 2004 He died today while on holiday in Peru. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/t...dio/3955289.stm He was by far the greatest influence on my musical tastes from punk to Rave and hip hop and onto music from all over the globe. He will be greatly missed. Cheers john... this one for you, Teenage kicks is blasting away while i drown my sorrows. SFB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashoka Posted October 27, 2004 Ah, now I understand. That's where the peel sessions originate. How sad. R.I.P indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nabraxas Posted October 27, 2004 he will be sorely missed. back in the 80's when BBC radio 1 was a piece ov shit, i used to wait until his show came on at 11pm & then i had something cool to listen to while supposedly doing my home-work. he made a shit station cool & a boring chore fun. thanks for letting us know Slarty.

macro Posted October 29, 2004 Yeah, it's quite sad. He has done so much for music as we know it, it'll be hard for anyone to exert the same influences again I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
