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: 'Best football record in the history of the world ever? Very possibly: certainly the best since the last one that John Barnes made, anyway....Don't be surprised if you hear that again at some stage on these programmes.')
  • Pullover: 'Holiday (7")' (Starfish)
  • Dr. Octagon: 'Blue Flowers (12")' (Mo Wax)
  • Unhold: 'Brach Lag Nerv (2x7"-Unhold)' (Unhold)
  • Doo Rag: 'Doin' It To It (LP-What We Do)' (Dependability)
(JP: 'Yesterday I went to a school in Ipswich where a mate of mine does kind of media studies and did three hours of lecturing, it turned out to be eventually. I put together a tape of little extracts, bits and pieces of stuff, a lot of it in this programme, a sample of the kind of things which I'd be likely to play on the radio, so that I could use this as a guide as I was talking to them about the record industry and riveting things like that. What I'd forgotten, in that group of 16 to 17 year-olds, is that nobody dare show enthusiasm...in the classroom, they're all being kind of not terribly interested. It's an incredibly stressful experience. How people teach all the time I simply do not know: I came away from there with an absolutely blazing headache, got home and had to go to bed, I felt so terrible.')
(JP: 'Obviously a bit of a muddle, but a kind of good muddle I think.')
