 * Comments
 * Start of show: "Hello again, good buddies, it's John Peel's Music On BFBS."
 * Peel relates that he was warned off playing excerpts from the new Robert Wyatt LP (Shleep) as it could lead to falling sales, but now he has a promo CD from it to play.
 * Captain Beefheart called Peel just before his birthday sounding in good spirits and advising him and his family to "enjoy the evenings."

Tracklisting

 * Beatnik Filmstars: 'Hep Boys (Into Krautrock) (CD-In Hospitalble)' (Merge)
 * Stereolab: 'Tickertape Of The Unconscious (CD-Dots And Loops)' (Duophonic)
 * (JP: 'I got a letter of complaint this week from a listener who said that these new John Peel's Musics From BFBS, which actually are recorded at my house, arrive at his end all sort of pops and squirts and clicks and things. They leave this house in perfect shape, I have to tell you, and it's perfectly possible, I suppose, that it's actually the records, really. Perhaps you just don't like the records, I don't know.)


 * André Michelle: 'Cornflake (Compilation 12" EP-Neuropol Compilation)' (Neuropol)
 * (JP: 'I really can't make up my mind about this LP, I have to be honest with you. As a lifelong Fall fan, whether it represents a brave new change in direction or whether it is the beginning of the end of a legend, I simply don't know, I really don't know.')


 * Fall: 'Masquerade (LP-Levitate)' (Artful)
 * Robert Wyatt: 'Heaps Of Sheeps (promo CD)' (Hannibal)
 * Eska: 'Dustkicker (EP-Last Man On The Moon)' (Scared Of Girls)
 * (JP: 'I used to be scared of girls, I have to be perfectly honest with you...really, until I was in my mid-twenties. I was so ignorant, so breathtakingly ignorant, that having gone to boys' boarding schools from the age of 7 and so forth, and life being very different to the way it is now, clearly, I was aware that girls were constructed differently, but I genuinely didn't know quite in what way they were constructed differently. When I was about 14, I was playing hide-and-seek (how many 14 year-dols would you find today that would be prepared to play hide-and-seek?). It was that kind of hide-and-seek which I think is called "sardines", actually, when you find the person who's hiding, you stay with them, and then the last person who finds you is all kind of "it" next time around. I was at my godmother's house near Ludlow, which is quite a big house, and I was in the gardener's toilet. It was that big a place. This girl was the first person who came in and discovered me in there, and, in a girlish kind of way, she sat down to go to the toilet. I mean, horror would sum up my reaction pretty much. I don't think I screamed, but I came pretty close to it, I've got to be honest with you. And I don't think I've ever been quite the same since.')
