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.

  • Peel mentions seeing McCarthy last week perform in London and thought they were excellent.
  • Peel plays a piano solo from D.J. Lebowitz covering the Dead Kennedys' Holiday In Cambodia.
  • Peel mentions that a Dutch magazine called OOR (Dutch translation of Ear) rang him up to ask him what was his top ten albums. Peel gave them a list and said that he was tempted to put Mark Stewart's latest album, but realised it wasn't in the shops yet. He mentioned that Gene Vincent & His Blue Caps' Bluejean Bop was in the list.
  • Peel plays several album tracks from Impulse Manslaughter and McCarthy.
  • Peel mentions seeing Bob Dylan perform couple of weeks ago and thought he was terrible. That performance was reviewed by Peel in the Observer newspaper, who mentions that he received more complaints of his bad review from that than what was going on in the world economy.
  • Peel plays two tracks from Duane Eddy's second album, as he enjoys the twang guitar.
