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[]

(Home & Dry trailer for young people finding a home by Nicky Campbell and Alan Freeman)
(JP: 'Now this next record I about to play you is either the best Christmas record or the worst Christmas record ever made. It comes from an LP, We Three Bings - Vital's Music New York Trash X Mas, and I do mean X Mas, and it features Rats Of Unusual Size, Lily Braindrop & The Yeastie Girlz, Lysdexica (NOTE: Peel was supposed to say Lysdexic), Reverb Mothers, well let's settle for that, Purple Geezus, Letch Petrol, Ed Gein's Car, Honeymoon Killers, George Tabb Experience, Gawk, Shaved Pigs, and Woo or W.O.O., which one it's supposed to be and you may recall, I can only just dimly recall myself, so you may not recall it at all, but the Chipmunks did a Christmas record, and this is kind a update of that by Purple Geezus, well see what you make of this, this is the right speed by the way')
(JP: 'An agreeable break I think from that Greg Lake record that gets trotted out time and time again every Christmas')
