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
  • Peel dedicates a Bogshed record to BBC Radio 4 comedy writers who he met 100 yards outside Broadcasting House after going for a walk. Instead of 'headbutting them under the bus which any normal person instinct would have done', he surprisingly found them entertaining.
  • Peel plays the wrong track from SDT and admitted he meant to play 'In A Groove' instead of 'I'm Right'.
  • Peel mentioned he played a track from Indian pop singer Sharon on last night's show called Aage Jo Hua, a Hindi language cover of Lipps Inc.'s Funky Town, which was played as the last track of the show. He then plays her Hindi cover of Bob Marley's No Woman No Cry called Hum Aajnabi Hai.
  • Peel mentions liking Bob's Piggery track, not necessarily because of the Pig connection.
  • Peel says that 15 years ago, he had his hand writing analysed with other BBC Radio One DJ's and the woman inspecting it mentioned that this was the handwriting of a 'dangerous neurotic introvert'.
  • After the Dub Sex track, Peel decides to play it briefly at 45rpm and mentions 'Is that the Primitives new single?'.

(JP: 'I hope 1988 would be a good year for Welsh language bands')
(JP: 'The whole world going like Sugarcubes crazy, I thought it would be worth dragging out the LP's by you know K.U.K.L., 'Kur-kull', 'Kyuk-klee', and this is Seagull from one of them')
