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 has been to see God play live twice that week - on the previous Wednesday, with Pain Teens at the Moonlight Club in London, and that very evening, with Boss Hog at the new Marquee.
  • Two tracks are played to mark the passing of Slim Gaillard. Says Andy Kershaw will be featuring more material from the same artist the following night.
  • Peel plays the original version of Mudhoney's When Tomorrow Hits and then plays Spacemen 3's cover version of the same song.
  • Peel mentions he has never heard Calamity Jane's first single (Hang Up, You Got It Rough / Outta Money).
  • Peel mentions a listener has mentioned that some of the lyrics in Hole's Burnblack are the same in some of Babes In Toyland's Dust Cake Boy and plays both of them to see. The lyrics of from my dumb mouth to your deaf ear features in both songs.

(JP: 'It's the first time I've ever been to the Marquee, the new Marquee. The room seems fine, but profoundly unpleasant bar staff. I asked this woman, they've got some kind of bottled beer I've never seen in my life before, and I said, "What's that?", and she said, "I don't know! For god's sake make up your mind!", and stomped off. I thought, ah, terrific.')

(JP: "I was very sad to hear during the week of the death of Slim Gaillard, who had been around for quite some time in London and I regret to say that I never got to see him playing live - and I shall regret that for a long time.")
(JP: "That's Slim Gaillard, who died this week. The first recording, from 1945. recorded live in Los Angeles and that was on an LP called 'McVouty, Slim & Bam' on Hep Records. ... Might be quite difficult to find that, because I picked it up, it must have been seven or eight years ago. And the second one was from the current compact disc in fact by the Dream Warriors. ... His name misspelled incidentally on the compact disc.")
