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.

  • Peel mentioned playing football over the weekend with his children and said Alexandra scored some goals, but had some injury on his lips from her kick.
  • Peel mentions that his favourite track on Sonic Youth's Sister LP has a rude word in it and therefore can't play it. However, he instead plays Beauty Lies In The Eye from the same album.
  • Peel plays the wrong speed of Billy Bragg before quickly correcting it.
