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[]

(JP: ‘Well I still have a soft spot for the old boy.’)
(11:30 news)
(JP: ‘Thanks very much Peter. I have to admit that the audiences for this programme have dropped below 10 million as well.’ This is in response to an item in the news which mentions that BBC One TV were axing “That’s Life" because of falling audiences.)
  • Victoria Kings: Eddo No 1 (CD – The Mighty Kings Of Benga)’ (Globestyle)
  • Tiger Trap: ‘Eight Wheels (LP – Tiger Trap)’ (K)
  • Superchunk: ‘Kicked In’ (Peel Session)
(JP: ‘Play us a tune Mr piano man.’)
(JP: ...‘and the motor cycle noises taken from the TT Races this summer, recorded by Andy Kershaw for Graham Webster of Leyland.’)
(12:30 news)
(JP: ‘Well the speakers here in the studio certainly sat up and took notice in the course of that.’)
(JP: ‘Last from Rollerskate Skinny and their debut session for the programme, that’s called Violence To Violence. Stirring stuff throughout. I have to say that I do prefer it when bands do something which isn’t immediately available on record. What I really want them to do is like covers of Duane Eddy numbers but I realise that’s a little childish and a little unlikely as well.’)

  • Papa San: ‘Makosa (7 inch)’ (Taxi)
  • Salbando: ‘I Could See The Smallest Things (7 inch)’ (OXO Records)
  • Bronte Brothers: 'Make That Hand Jive Mine (Single)' (This Way Up)
