John Peel

Posted: November 3rd, 2004, by Marceline Smith

I read this lovely tribute to John Peel on Tangents today at work and it touched me greatly. I expect it’s a story that many of us will recognise from similar experiences but to me it really summed up what was so great about Peel and his shows. Go read and enjoy.

Marceline is the fierce, terrifying force behind diskant.net, laughing with disdain as she fires sharpened blades of sarcasm in all directions. Based in Scotland, her lexicon consists of words such as 'jings', 'aboot' and 'aye': our trained voice analysts are yet to decipher some of the relentless stream of genius uttered on a twenty-four hour basis. Marceline's hobbies include working too much and going out in bad weather.
