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 mentioned that he played the A-side of EPMEE MD's single, It's My Thing, on yesterday's show.
Peel mentions seeing the Bayeux Tapestry on TV in the studio and says that he saw it in France many years ago.
Peel mentions that he got a letter from an Indian listener in California, who listens to his BBC World Service shows and she wanted to know why he's playing Bhangra music, which she felt was just pop music. She also wonders whether he is playing it for exotic reasons. Peel responds and says that he plays it, because he likes the music rather than the latter.
Peel plays a track of Jimmy Reed talking about his early days on a record that was sent by listener Steve Alexander.
Peel plays a session track from Electro Hippies called Mega-Armageddon Death, which only lasts for about one second long. Before playing the track, he makes a brief wrong track moment, by playing an A Witness' song.
