Changed my life, changed so many people's lives.

I still miss him.

Me too. Fortunately, that site has something like 500 shows (or lengthy extracts therefrom), covering the great man's career from 1967 all the way through to his death in 2004. I've found that working through them at the rate of three or four a week is almost like having Peel's regular show back.

The Perfumed Garden is amazing - all the bits of Peel I thought were unlistenable as a teenager I now realise are wonderful.

BBC4's repeats of TOTP are currently in prime sardonic Peel too.

The search function on that blog works well. Sigh.

Must be my age. I read that as David Peel (and the Lower East Side).

Arguably protopunk, if you will. John Lennon was a fan.

The bloke who runs the Perfumed Garden blog - his house just burnt down. So if you want to chip something to him on the donate button...
