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.

Comments
  • Ken Garner's The Peel Sessions mistakenly puts the Les Thugs recordings as of 1st December 1987 (which by the way was a repeat session broadcast) instead of 8th November 1987.
  • Peel's show starts at 3:03 of File 1, where he just came back from Germany yesterday.
  • Peel mentions that he thinks the Chills are great live after seeing them perform in Borkum, Germany, but thought their last session was a bit disappointing. He also goes on to praise German artist Santrra Oxyd who also was touring with the Chills.
  • Peel plays a song from Israeli artist Ofra Haza, which Eric B & Rakim used for their track Paid In Full (Coldcut Remix).
  • Peel plays a track from Dinosaur Jr. covering Peter Frampton's Show Me The Way.
  • Peel plays couple of tracks from the Skinny Boys' latest LP, whose track Cries Of The City makes a reference to Nat King Cole, who gets an airplay on the show.
  • Peel mentions his friend Ian McFee bought a record of drag boat racing, which he plays a snippet on the show.
