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.

  • Peel plays a couple of album tracks from artists covering Johnny Cash's songs from the tribute compilation album - 'Til Things Are Brighter...A Tribute To Johnny Cash and also Carcass' Reek Of Putrefaction. He also plays a couple of tracks from the Siddeleys new single.
  • Peel mentions that Fred Frith of Half Japanese was once rude to him 18 years ago, and Sheila his wife has not forgiven him for that. He claims that his wife can recognise Fred Frith's guitar work and whenever he plays any of Frith's records at home, she comes in and says 'that's that Fred Frith isn't it?.'
  • Peel mistakenly calls the My Bloody Valentine's single, Slow, which is the b-side of their You Made Me Realise track, but then corrects himself after the record gets played.
  • Peel mentioned that Marc Riley asked him to sing on the Johnny Cash compilation album, but found the lyrics of singing for the song 'Five Feet High And Risin', as too fast. Instead, Tracey And Melissa Beehive of Voice Of The Beehive covered the track.
  • Peel says that if he ever loses his job on radio, the last track he would play would be a sermon called Dry Bones In The Valley from Aretha Franklin's father, C.L. Franklin.
