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...‘ but what country do they come from? If you know write it down on a postcard or on the back of an envelope and you could possibly be one of five winners of the LP – Lipstick Traces and the Greil Marcus Book [In the Fascist Bathroom] as well.)
  • Bad Religion: ‘Recipe Of Hate’ (Peel Session)
  • Brain Dead Sound Machine: ‘Where The Pavement Ends (12 inch)’ (Shiver Records)
  • Fiasco: ‘Miserable Man’ (Peel Session)
(JP: ‘These programmes aren’t just about having a good time. Every once in a while we like to get a little thoughtful and dig a little deeper. This is one of those moments now.’)
(JP: ‘Time now for the start of our Guitar Storm. In case you’re wondering what that is and I wouldn’t blame you if you are. You're gonna get about an hour of largely guitar records, I mean they're not instrumentals and they're not all enormously noisy, although quite a few of them are. It’s just there’s been such a build up of excellent records over the past two or three weeks this is about the only way that I can sensibly play them all to you. So I shall play them without interruption and then tell you what they all were in about an hour’s time. That’s the plan anyway.’)
  • Yo La Tengo: ‘From A Motel 6 (CD – Painful)’ (City Slang)
  • File b ends in the middle of the song above and File c begins
  • Friggs: ‘Bad Word For A Good Thing (7 inch)’ (Telstar Records)

(JP: ‘You probably don’t know that there’s such a thing as the NME Peel Sessions Singles Club. It's not exactly been launched with a fanfare, at least I’ve not seen a great deal about it. It’s nothing to do with me, I hasten to add, I mean beyond the fact that it’s got the name Peel on there and the records are drawn from sessions done for this program. The first release comes from Cornershop.’)

(JP: ‘A bit before your time that one Steve.’)
