John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

  • An inquiry from a listener about Will Oldham's recording partner Tiffany White-Pounders prompts a web search which turns up "a load of women with enormous breasts'", as John puts it.

Sessions[]

Tracklisting[]

(JP: 'For those people who've been in touch with us to say, "Whatever happened to that Badly Drawn Boy session that you were going to have?", well, he doesn't seem to be prepared to do anything for the programme, which is disappointing, but there you go, we've tried, so we've kind of given up on that now, but we still play the records.')
(JP: 'We came perilously close at one stage to getting a session from them, but it never worked out. Incompetence, but not on our side.')

Peelenium 1979[]

  1. Gang Of Four: 'At Home (He's A Tourist) (LP-Entertainment)' (EMI)
  2. Quads: 'There Must Be Thousands (7")' (Big Bear)
  3. Misty In Roots: 'Man Kind (LP-Live At The Counter Eurovision 79)' (People Unite)
  4. Freshmen: 'You've Never Heard Anything Like It (7")' (Release)
(JP: '(I would choose the Quads record) if I'm ever asked to do Desert Island Discs again, because some people have been asked twice: when I do my Radio 4 programmes, I work at the desk next to the Desert Island Discs people and I keep batting my eyelids at them in a hopeful manner, but so far it's got me nowhere.')
