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.

Tracklisting[]

  • File 1 begins, and File 2 cuts in near end of next track
  • PJ Harvey: 'Wang Dang Doodle (12 inch – Man-Size)’ (Island)
(JP: ‘Solo tour coming up for Polly Harvey before the end of the year. I hope this doesn’t mean the end of the group though. PJ Harvey, Wan Dang Doodle. Originally recorded for this programme of course. Broadcast a couple of times in session, but that fact not acknowledged anywhere on the record, said he bitterly. Rather an abrupt handover actually from the previous programme just to demonstrate what a kind of no nonsense guy I am.’)
  • Yami Bolo: ‘Ghetto Youthman Have To Make It (7 inch)’ (Yam Euphony Music)
  • Orbital: ‘Monday (2xLP – Orbital 2)’ (Internal)
  • Polvo: 'Watch The Nail' (Peel Session)
(JP: ‘Do love those boys, yeah even unto the third and fourth generation.’)
(JP: Abrupt to the point of rudeness.’)
(11.30 news)
(JP: ‘In 1969 that meant more to me than just about any other record I think. What a bright eyed merry little scamp I was then too.’)
(JP: 'Actually, I always end up sitting on the stairs at parties, which may be why I don't get invited to very many these days.')

1991 Festive Fifty[]

(JP: ‘I know there are those citizens who now pretend they never liked Nirvana at all. That is a great record by any standard. So I look forward to the new LP a great deal. Number one in the Phantom Fifty, Smells Like Teen Spirit of course. And I just hope the new LP hasn’t been too de-albinified, because obviously I like the stuff he does as well.’)
(12:30 news)
(JP: ‘ In these increasingly grim times you really need stuff like that don’t you? That’s Polvo in session.’)
(1:30 news)
(JP: Lynn Parsons, who will be with you in something like 27 minutes, has just told me that Radio 5 listeners have been with us for the past hour or so. So a belated hi! boys and girls. Apparently there’s some rugby match later on. Is this the case some rugby match later on? [He asks Lynn Parsons, who in the background replies “The Lions and the All Blacks”.] The Lions and the All Blacks. I’m not much of a one for rugby football I’m ashamed to say. There you go half the listeners straight away.’)
(JP: ‘...that’s it from me tonight. Tomorrow night’s sessions come from Rollerskate Skinny and Superchunk. Thanks for listening, over to you Lynn.’)
