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 mentions seeing Dirty Rotten Imbeciles last Thursday at The Garage in Nottingham, along with Heresy and Napalm Death. He then plays a wrong track from the Dirty Rotten Imbeciles, but then corrects the song after that.
  • Peel thinks the Finnish band, Melrose, may be touring with the Godfathers in the UK, but says he might be wrong.
  • Peel plays a wrong speed moment from Pulse's Shut Up Already! and Masters At Work's Alright Alright.
  • Peel says every 10p of the sale of the Frank Chickens single will go to the environmentalist group, The Friends Of The Earth.
  • Peel mentions the Leaving Trains LP has a rude name, and uses the name 'Knit' to call the album. He also calls Big Black's album, Songs About Knitting, to avoid the F-word.
  • Peel plays a track from the Shaved Pigs covering the Isley Brothers' Shout, which they retitled as Slam.
