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.

Comments
  • Start of show: “Well, hello there, dearly beloved. The next two hours come to you live and direct from Peel Acres. And we start the night with Salako. This is their wonderful track ‘Look Right.’ Starts with kind of atmospheres, as you can hear – or you would be able to if I’d shut up.”
  • Recorded two nights before at Peel's 60th birthday party, David Gedge introduces himself as the “official archivist of the Festive Fifty.” Adds, “It’s not actually a talent I’ve engendered over the years – it’s been thrust upon me, I think.” Starts off with a song that he points out reached #15 the previous year (see 1998 Festive Fifty). Before the last song he comments, “This has been the second most nervous night of my life – the first was when I played at his 50th party.”
  • Back at Peel Acres, Cinerama gets the thumbs up from The Voice. JP: “I have to say that I think that the boy Gedge has written some of the best love songs of the rock & roll era. Now you may dispute that, but I’m right and you’re wrong.”
  • On the Peelenium (which has now reached 1945): “People have wondered how these Peeleniums – or Peelenia, if that’s the correct plural – are put together. And the fact is that I make the occasional suggestion if there’s something I really care about, and obviously as we get closer to the modern times, there’ll probably be more of those. But by and large, I’ve been so much enjoying the selections that Lynn’s made from the catalogues and things in the BBC Record Library and things that I’ve given her that she’s been doing the bulk of the work.”
  • New Mogwai single – “exclusive, exclusive, exclusive!”
