Show

Name

• John Peel Show

Station

• BBC Radio One

YYYY-MM-DD

• 1992-12-05

Comments

• John talks about football (just for a change). Liverpool are 14 points behind with a game in hand after a considerable 5-0 win over Crystal Palace on 28 November, but he feels sorry for Coventry City, who that night were held to a 2-2 draw by Ipswich Town (information on matches retrieved from here).
• He complains that when bands move to major labels, the flood of promotional issues seems to stop, thus there is a time delay between release and radio play. Two cases in point are the Senseless Things single and the new Sundays LP.
• Only around 7 minutes are now missing from the show, between the end of File a and the start of File 5, and the track listing is probably comnplete

Sessions

• Aphex Twin, #1. Recorded 1992-09-09. No known commercial release.
• Kitchens Of Distinction, one and only session (rpt). Recorded 1992-08-23. Available on disc six of the band's Watch Our Planet Circle box-set. (One Little Indian, 2017)

• Senseless Things: 'Homophobic Asshole (7")' (Epic) 3
• File 5 pauses during above track
• God Is My Co-Pilot: 'I'm Not The One (7"-On A Wing & A Prayer)' (Funky Mushroom)

(JP: 'I got a letter actually from one of the members of the band to say that they are hoping to come to Europe at the beginning of next year and to ask if I would be interested in doing a session with them which I certainly would and I’ll let them know. (It came to pass in July 93.) … Before that of course it was the Senseless Things and their current record Homophobic Asshole, and my only reason for not having played that on the radio previously was because I only got a copy of it myself about a week ago. This often happens actually when bands get on to kinda major labels that you no longer get promotional copies of their records which is fair enough – if they don’t want to send them that’s up to them – entirely so. But for those people who have written, for example, to ask why it is that I've not played anything from the recent Sundays LP – it's because I haven’t got a copy of it.')

• File 1 ends

(JP: 'I've noticed that it's nearly half past one: we're this far into the programme, and still we've not had a Robert Palmer song, so let's set that to rights now.')

• Ciccone Youth: 'Addicted To Love (CD-The Whitey Album)' (Geffen) 2 3

(JP: 'The machine cuts it off again – I love the way it does that – oh my goodness technology where would we be without it. Ciccone Youth – they sound like a cute bunch don't they [no indication that he knows they are Sonic Youth], and that's Robert Palmer's Addicted To Love, done up in the only way you could sensibly do it.')

• (John gives a rundown of the upcoming programmes and sessions, which bears little relation to what was actually broadcast. He is unsure of the other session apart from Mint 400 on the 12 December 1992 show (it was a Superchunk repeat); 18 December 1992 was originally supposed to contain Leatherface (held over to 16 January 1993), PJ Harvey (25 December 1992), Bandulu (02 January 1993), and Jesus Lizard (29 January 1993)); 19 December 1992 was to feature Dinosaur Jr (09 January 1993), Ivor Cutler (08 January 1993) and Unrest (no such repeat found).) He says he is also toying with the idea of running last year's Festive 50 as well, which of course ultimately started on 08 January 1993.)
