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.

  • The 1994 Peelenium and part three of the All-Time 2000 Festive Fifty.
  • Once more, the Pig phones in her Peelenium introduction, and one band (Stereolab), perhaps uniquely, appear in the same show in both the Peelenium and All-Time Festive Fifty.
  • John is amazed to discover, after going for an insurance medical, that he has grown half an inch. He also refers to his upcoming weekend trip to Groningen, only the second time he had been there. The results were broadcast the following week (11 January 2000).
  • The Geater Davis single later turned up in John Peel's Record Box.

Tracklisting[]

(JP: 'This next is one of the great records of all time...Regular listeners will know that this gets played about once every nine months or so, and that it contains, amongst other things, two of the great falsetto notes of our time.')

Peelenium 1994[]

  1. Stereolab: 'Ping Pong (10 inch)' (Duophonic)
  2. Inspiral Carpets featuring Mark E Smith: 'I Want You (7 inch)' (Cow/Mute)
  3. Orbital: 'Are We Here? (CD single)' (Internal)
  4. Canopy & Matrix: 'Arkines Lost (12 inch-Rough Business)' (Space)
(JP: "That's always seemed to me an amazingly forlorn, bleak sort of record. Makes me think if the beginning of Mary Shelley's book of 'Frankenstein', not quite sure why but it does have that sort of feel to it, I think... And there was always some confusion of what this was called and who it was by but we've settled for 'Arkines Lost' by Canopy & Matrix. Now I remember phoning the people who released the record and they didn't know very much about it either and so it remains a mystery to me, But what 'Arkines' means or who Arkines was, I simply don't know at all.")

2000 Festive Fifty (All-Time)[]

(JP: 'Always a joy to hear that, as far as I'm concerned.') [2]
(JP: 'Bit before my time, that sort of thing.')
