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.

(JP: "In this studio here at Peel Acres I record programmes for radio stations in Germany and Finland, amongst other things, and every once in a while when I've mistimed things - and often that is the case - I have to leap up and find a record out of the shelves behind me to put in the programme. Because of my extraordinary economy of style in tonight's programme, I have got time to put in an extra tune, so I rushed in there and thrust my hand into the shelves and pulled out record number 2862 - I'm enough of a twerp to have filing system for them - and record 2862 a bit of a kind of krautrock classic really - Tangerine Dream's Electronic Meditation - which had got a balloon fixed into the cover of it, and my balloon is still there, green and of course pretty much rigid now - whether you cared about that... But here are some moments from the LP anyway.")
