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 third instalment in the Fall In August series, eight pre-recorded shows featuring repeated Fall sessions.
  • Start of show: "And the beat goes on. How many times have braindead DJs started a programme by saying that? The Fall In August continues with a session from 1981, and scratchy old vinyl from New Order, Shambeko Say Wah!, Bootsy Collins, Echo & The Bunnymen, Gregory Isaacs, Sonic Youth, the Cocteaus, the Nightingales, and..."

Tracklisting[]

(JP: 'Of course, back in those days, 10p would buy you a cottage for two in the Home Counties anyway.')
(JP: 'There were those who wrote to me at the time saying, "The only reason you like that is because it sounds like Clare Grogan singing in German", which is a very cynical attitude to take.')
  • Fall: 'Deer Park' (Peel Session)
  • Fall: 'Look, Know' (Peel Session)
  • Fall: 'Winter' (Peel Session)
  • Fall: 'Who Makes The Nazis?' (Peel Session)
(JP: 'Never did understand that, but who wants to understand things anyway?')
(JP: 'One of the many nice things about doing programmes like this is that you find records which you know you've played 'cos the lists tell you so, but you can't remember them at all, and that's a case in point, and rather good it is too.')
