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.

Tracklisting[]

(JP: 'That's the spirit, said he patronisingly.')
  • More Fiends: 'Vinyl Grind' (session) first session track
(JP (following on from the last line of the previous track, "Did you ever notice, the lower a guy wears his guitar, the more of a jerk he is?"): 'That's a very good point, actually. I'd not thought about it, but by and large I think it is true....I must note that down and use it myself: drop it into conversation at some of the smart parties I go to and everybody says, "Yeah yeah, he's right, he's absolutely right."')
(JP: 'As heard on the Steve Wright programme only yesterday afternoon, and somebody reminded me yesterday that I'd said if I ever heard Inspiral Carpets on Steve Wright's programme, I'd play the Pet Shop Boys on this programme. Well I'm not going to, at least not tonight anyway.')[2]
(JP: 'Here's one for Mrs Ravenscroft')

Footnotes
  1. ↑ YouTube. Released to celebrate WBA's 1-0 FA Cup Final victory in 1968, with Jeff Astle scoring the lone goal. Peel speaks favourably of playing Astle's single release 'Sweet Water' and would play it again after the player's death in 2002.
  2. ↑ The band would eventually get a Peel session, broadcast on 10 October 2002.
