 * Comments
 * Show presented by members of Pulp whilst Peel is away.
 * From The Pulp wiki site: D-J ing at the HMV store on Oxford Street must have given Pulp a taste of the big time, because they repeated the perform­ance three nights running on Radio 1 FM...John Peel has never done this before, handed his entire show over, so its a big compliment. Either that or he couldn't get anyone else at such short notice.
 * Pulp certainly enjoyed the challenge, even though Candida forgot to turn up for duty on the Tueday night, thinking it was Wednesday, Thursday, Friday instead! I suspect Jarvis has a tendancy to take over the controls, it would have been nice to hear a bit more from Candida, Nick and Mark. High points included Nick dedicating DAF's "Der Musolini" to his wife Sarah, and an excellent competition to find the records that sound best played at the wrong speed. The winner was Spizz Energy's cover of Virginia Plain, which really did sound a lot better at 33rpm! The overall standard of music was very high, even if you might not have liked all of the records played, they were still interesting.
 * The other high spot was of course Electric Sound of Joy's first Radio 1 session - thanks to Pulp for setting that up, it was just fantastic. Hope you the listeners enjoyed it as much as we did! The boys played four songs: Ray Away, Our Flag, Dont Waste My Time and I Cant Wait, to which Jarvis responded, "I cant wait for them to release another single". Too right! Now we will sit back and wait for the offers to come rolling in (haha).
 * Anyway, for those of you who missed it, here is the Pulpy playlist in full...my playlist differed rather from the Radio 1 one but its pretty much correct.

 * At this point Rough Trade boss Geoff Travis began his "History of Independent Music" with the 1970s, playing a couple of suitable tracks:
 * Cabaret Voltaire - Nag Nag Nag
 * Young Marble Giants - Searching For Mr Right

 * Serge Gainsbourg - Requiem Pour Un C...
 * Gastra Del Soul - The Seasons Reversed

 * Pulp invite listeners to phone/fax their suggestions for the song that sounds the best played at the wrong speed - winners to be announced on the final show. As an example, the following record is played at 33rpm, and very good it sounded too!
 * ESG - The Beat
 * Amazon Two - King of the Beats
 * Finally, the theme from Robinson Crusoe closed the show this evening
