 * Comments
 * Peel says he'd like to get the Strokes in to do a live set at Maida Vale before the end of the year, but expresses his fears that the group's publicists may believe them too big a band to consider it, as has apparently happened with other groups in the past.
 * There is a competition in the show to win a 2 CD Ramones anthology. Initially there are 5 copies to be won, but Peel says they will buy 5 more to make it 10. "I like the idea of buying them to give away rather than just getting them from some promotion organisation because it seems more of a sort of pressie then."

Sessions
No known commercial release.
 * Strokes Debut broadcast of one and only session.

Tracklisting

 * Briefs: C'Mon Squash Me Like A Bug (single) Sub Pop
 * JP: "I actually phoned somebody up to discover whether that was a pedal steel guitar that was being deployed on that, nobody seemed to know. But I reckon it was." (See 19 July 2001 for a follow-up)


 * Wagon Christ: Ataride (12" Ataride) Ninja Tune
 * White Stripes: Aluminium (CD - White Blood Cells) Sympathy For The Record Industry
 * (JP: 'Everybody at the moment seems to be talking about the Strokes, this isn't necessarily a good thing I have to say, because if they're fashionable at the moment then they may not be in six months time and I think they deserve a better fate than that because they're quite clearly a good band. Nevertheless, we're very pleased to have them in session on the programme tonight of course. Be insane to pretend otherwise.')

 * Strokes: Hard To Explain (session)
 * New Order: Crystal (CD single) White label
 * (JP: 'This is one of those records which when I played it at home, I played it at 45 and it sounded exactly right. But cueing it up here in the studio again, it sounds quite mad at 45 but then it doesn't sound right at 33 and a third either. See what you think.')
