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.
Peel mentions that Cool C's Juice Crew Dis is number 1 in the Hip Hop charts.
Peel mentions that the band Forest spent some time with him in London's Peel Acres during the 60's, where he was living with the Pig before marriage. He also embarrassingly mentions that he wrote the sleevenotes for their self titled LP, which got re-released by the Zap! label.
Peel reads a letter from a Finnish fan on his Rockradio show, who thinks his voice is sexy, which Peel then mentions that he would be hesitant to go to Finland, in case that listener is disappointed on what he looks like and wondering who is this 'fat twerp'.
Peel plays a track from Seventeen Plus, who are from the Virgin Islands and recommends listeners to play it loud.
Peel plays some tracks from the Wedding Present's George Best LP.
Peel mentions American teen sensation Debbie Gibson's Out Of The Blue LP and says that there is a long list of credits on the record. He then plays a snippet from the album and describes it as a no-no.
Peel plays Kitchens Of Distinction's debut single and reads a letter from the band saying that they're fans of R.E.M., which he says hopefully won't put him off.
