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.

  • Producer Louise Kattenhorn is on holiday in Berlin.
  • The Mercury Music Prize winner had been announced that evening in a special programme broadcast live before John's own. Franz Ferdinand were the recipients of the overall prize, but Peel indicates that his preference was for Robert Wyatt, whose LP "Cuckooland" was amongst the nominations.
  • The Rev. C.L. Franklin track is taken from a record given to John for his birthday by Billy Bragg.
  • The record from which the segue about mosaics is taken gets another spin the following evening.
  • The 12 Shades Of Fantasy track is dedicated to Terry Edwards.
  • Halfway through the programme, John admits to feeling light headed following an incident on the way into London when he managed to splash petrol over himself when filling up at a garage. "The entire studio now reeks of petrol, as I will do for several days."

Tracklisting[]

JP: "I worked it out that it would have been Jimmy Reed's 79th birthday yesterday, if he'd survived. And that's reason enough I think for me to play one of his tunes."
Segue: "The Venetian character is nearly destroyed, first by the frightful facade of Saint Moise which we will pause at another time to examine, and then by the modernising of the shops as their near the piazza." [1]
Peel announces Steveless but starts playing the next scheduled Calvin Party track by mistake (Wrong Track Moment.)
