As tomorrow is John Peel day I've posted a little story up on Blog Scary Monsters (http://blogscarymonsters.blogspot.com) and thought I'd copy and paste it here too...

The first radio airplay BSM ever received was from Mr Peel back in 2004. He played two of my releases back to back and called it a "BSM segway". One of the records he put on at the wrong speed and the other was a split single, from which he played one band but called them by the others name. I was at my girlfriend's Mum's wedding when I received a text telling me he'd played them the night before, so I faked illness to literally run the 2 miles home and listen back online. I spent the rest of the afternoon punching the air, wearing a huge smile and getting drunk on WKD blue, before being rumbled and shouted at by my girlfriend. She didn't understand my reasoning. We broke up shortly after citing musical differences as the reason.

R.I.P. John Peel

Any other stories? Who else had their records played at the wrong speed, name pronounced wrongly or other crazy happenings?
