Absolutely f***ing gutted...the man was a legend, and irreplaceable. According to Andy Kershaw on C4 news, the fact that he felt he was being marginalised when his show was moved to 11PM - 1AM was "killing him" according to the man himself. We may never see his like again. I can't help seeing this and the BPI starting to flex their muscles re downloading as bad news for music, for music fans =( John Milne <john@highlandland.fsnet.co.uk> wrote: Someone on another group has suggested everyone listen to "Teenage Kicks" at some point today as a wee tribute to the wee Scouser. Also, Radio 4 broadcast an obituary/documentary on his last night which I think you can still hear using their "listen again" facility. John

truely awful news indeed, I cried this morning reading tributes from listeners on the BBC and Guardian websites.
Anyway, topic is not OT - here's a couple of konnections:
I shed a few tears this morning too. What a great, great man. Hearing his Aphex Twin session was a big turning point in my life.
And another not OT reason: My first Orb purchase was the Peel Sessions CD, of course featuring JC
Rest easy John
