Tracklisting[]
- Blink-182: 'Peggy Sue (LP-Cheshire Cat)' (Grilled Cheese)
- (JP: 'That's Blink-182. I may play you another track from this LP before the end of the programme. The LP's called Cheshire Cat. It's been out for a month or so now but I've only just got hold of a copy of it. And that was called Peggy Sue. I liked the way they used that little dub effect in the middle of it. Something like this, actually.')
- King Tubby & Prince Jammy: 'A Stalawatt Version (Compilation CD-Dub Gone 2 Crazy: In Fine Style 1975-1979)' (Blood & Fire)
- (JP: 'King Tubby & Prince Jammy. That's called A Stalawatt Version and it comes from the LP which is on Blood & Fire Records as these things so often are. And is called (reads from sleeve) Dub Gone Crazy 2. Excellent stuff. Not quite sure what Stalawatt means, actually. But there you go. I suppose we can survive without knowing that. This is wall - Wallpaper - The Day You Eat My Fears.')
- Wallpaper: 'The Day You Eat My Fears (CD-Magic Static Treats)' (Blackbean And Placenta Tape Club)
- (JP: 'That's the track from Wallpaper. One of the - I suppose the - if there is such a thing as a great Lo-fi LP. This could well turn out to be the kind of Sgt Pepper of Lo-fi. Featuring members of New Bad Things it is. And it doesn't have a record label as far as I can tell. Nor indeed a title but no matter. That was called The Day You Eat My Fears. And I've just come back - Well, I say I've just come back but I've recently been to the Phoenix Festival. And I shall - you know talk a little about this in the course of this week's edition of John Peel's Music From BFBS. By and large, musically it wasn't a great feast, I have to admit. I mean there were loads and loads of bands on there that were kind of OK, so I spent most of the time just pottering about. Well, directly on opposite sides of the arena, on one side there was a Mexican food stall, and directly across from there was an Indian food stall, so I spent a great deal of time wandering between the two of those, and there was a kind of beer tent adjacent to one of them as well. So I actually enjoyed meself for once, wandering about in the sunshine and talking to people and you know drinking beer and eating too much food, and actually played in a five a side football tournament as well without disgracing myself: I was quite proud of that. And what else was there? Well, I'll get round to the music later on. But the most enjoyable set that I saw throughout the entire four-day weekend was, perhaps rather surprisingly, from Broadcast, who go like this.')
- (JP: 'I really enjoyed their live set a great deal. They played on the Doc Martens stage which was the smaller stage, I think at the Phoenix Festival. But they really were good. That's Broadcast and a recent single of theirs called Living Room. And on the main stage, of course you got people like David Bowie who I've had to admit missed but everybody said was kind of ok but you kind of knew what was going to happen. But you do of course. This is one of the reasons people go, I suppose in a strange way. And Neil Young - and in a kind of - well, you know he was good too. But again didn't really do anything that you didn't expect. I mean he didn't do like a whole series of Beatles covers or anything like that. He played a 18 minute long version of Hurricane and - which we actually got to broadcast on my domestic programmes which I think was a first. I don't think Neil's never - never - Neil has never allowed anybody to broadcast any of his live things in the past as far as I'm aware. And on the last night of course it was the Sex Pistols who, I must admit, I thought were fairly ludicrous, but, you know, other people saw them who had not seen them previously. I'd not seen them previously: I'd driven up to Derby in the great days of the Sex Pistols, if there were great days, driven up to Derby to see them, to find a hand-written note on the door of the venue saying, "The Sex Pistols will not be appearing tonight," and I felt that was kind of good enough, really. You know, I felt that I'd made myself part of that little area of history and really didn't need to try and duplicate the experience or even indeed get to see the band really play really live. But they were sort of OK, went through their numbers and spat and swore and stuff like this, all the stuff you'd expect them to do, really. This is Spira and the track's called Disco On Mars.')
