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.

Comments
  • Instead of Pickin' The Blues, an intro of the show involves a Finnish announcer speaking while an English audio, introducing 8 musical taps is played.  
  • Peel at start of show: "We're back in business with sessions from the Jesus & Mary Chain, a new one from them. Also a repeat of our recent session from the Smiths and amongst the blooms in tonight's vinyl bouquet, I write this stuff myself you know, we got records from Britain, Amerikey (NOTE: Peel probably was trying to say America), Ireland, Canada I think, Jamaica, Finland and Venezuela. And to start, Japan"  
  • Peel does a wrong speed moment for the Junior Brammer record before correcting it quickly.  
  • Peel mentions that Ian The Tank Engine gave him a Christmas present of a John Fahey record called Visits Washington, D.C.  
  • Peel mentions This Mortal Coil's Song To The Siren has been used in a recent TV advert.
