John Peel: A Life in Music | Hardback

This wasn't as good as I expecting it to be . Okay what was I expecting ? . I am not that sure . This book , to me is like a car that has its ups (good things) and downs (bad things) . You never know what will happen next . It tells about his DJ days from the 1960's onwards . His beloved Liverpool FC . People who he didn't like . Some stories about bands that did sessions (usually 4 songs) for him . If you ever listened late at night to John Peel on Radio 1 . He played songs by probably nearly ever underground indie bands in UK at least . Also was probably first person in the UK to play here , bands non-UK/ worldwide indie songs . He played bands like Napalm Death , The Fall , The Undertones , The Wedding Present , Billy Bragg , New Order , Dinosaur Jr , Boo Radleys , The Pixies , Babes in Toyland , Hole , Sonic Youth , Jesus and Mary Chain , Public Enemy , Heresy , Electro Hippies , Serious Drinking , Half Man Half Biscuit , etc
