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 penultimate show in Peel's two-week series 'The Fall In August.'
  • Start of show: "Hello, revellers. Tonight we're three-quarters of the way through the Fall In August, although the referee hasn't started looking at his watch yet. Tonight's session comes from September 29th 1985, and you'll hear that shortly, but first, the band you love to hate."

Tracklisting[]

  • File 1 begins
  • (8.30 p.m. news bulletin)
  • File 2 begins
  • Wedding Present: 'Once More (7")' (Reception)
(JP: 'I've just discovered a letter from David Gedge in my copy of it, and what does it say? It says, "Dear John, hope you're all right. Just popped in with this, our new record, hope you like it. Best wishes, see you soon, David." I'm like a father to these people and of course, everybody using the Wedding Present as something to snipe at, everyone from the NME to Grim Humor.')
(JP: 'For those of you puzzled by all this, we're thrashing around roughly in the area of autumn 1985.')
(JP: 'After 18 months, I stopped saying "stet" because people were laughing at me behind my back.')
(JP: 'A member of the technical team that brings you these programmes, in living FM of course, liked that, so we can't have that sort of thing.')
  • Christ On Parade: 'Thoughts Of War (LP-Sounds Of Nature)' (Pusmort)
  • File 2 pauses during John's intro to the Fall
  • Fall: 'LA' (Peel Session)
  • Fall: 'Man Whose Head Expanded' (Peel Session)
  • Fall: 'What You Need' (Peel Session)
  • File 2 resumes during next track
  • Fall: 'Faust Banana' (Peel Session)
(JP: 'Be honest with me: do you ever have a night when you don't dream about the Fall?')
(JP: 'There's nothing like reggae for gobbling people up really, is there? People come along, make two or three excellent records, and then disappear without a trace.')
(JP: 'Back when dear Edward VII was on the throne, I chose the bands for an ICA Rock Week. Everybody hated it except me.')
(JP: 'Do wish the silly sod would get a new band together and come back over here and frighten us. I always regret the fact that I was too knackered to drive up to Leeds for their last gig.') [1]
