  • Start of show: 'Thanks, Tom [1] ....Everybody seems to be singing in French these days, n'est-ce pas?...This week's small but irritating affliction is a mouth ulcer on the underside of my tongue. So, if it sounds as if I'm trying to talk with a gerbil in my mouth, this is the reason for it. I wish I was going home, actually.'

Tracklisting

File a begins with last seconds of Tommy Vance and File 1 begins at start of show

(JP: 'Of course, you do understand that the invitation to "blow your harmonica, son" has nothing to do with playing harmonicas at all, but an invitation to unbridled sexual activity: this is what the experts would probably tell you.')
(JP: 'A tribute, in a manner of speaking, to someone.') [2]
(JP: 'I think that's usually described in the music weeklies as "a wash of guitar", and why not.')
(JP: 'While that was going on, I sorted something out in the studio, because we're in a different studio tonight, and hanging on the wall is a luminous yellow overjacket which Ivor the engineer is supposed to put on in the event of a fire or other emergency, and I went in there, and he said, well, I can wear it if anything goes wrong. I think it's terribly me, somehow.')
(JP: 'I'm not entriely convinced that I do.')

File 1 ends and File 2 begins during above track

File a ends and File b begins during above track

(JP: 'Absolutely without equal on this earth....and not a hint of irony anywhere in it.')

File 2 ends and File 3 begins during above track

File b ends at beginning of above track

(JP: 'That's the Fall. of course: could it possibly be anybody else?')
(JP: 'Excellent! You can imagine how that sort of row sounded at Glastonbury. While the band were playing, I went out and wandered modestly round amongst the congregation...The temptation was considerable to lie on the ground, but I knew that if I did that, somebody would probably come and lie on top of me. We can't put up with that sort of thing, can we?')
  • El Vez: 'Está Bien, Mamacita (That's Alright, Mama) (7 inch-The Mexican Elvis)' (Sympathy For The Record Industry SFTRI111)
  • Nirvana: 'D7 (Peel Session) (CD single-Lithium)' (Geffen) #
  • (1 a.m. news, complete with introductory feedback)
  • Humanoid: 'Stakker Humanoid-12 inch original (12 inch-Stakker Humanoid 92)' (Jumpin' & Pumpin') #
(JP: 'Do you ever get mouth ulcers? They're a real nuisance, they depress you enormously, out of all proportion to their size.')

File 3 ends and File 4 begins during next track

(JP: 'Time I got some new records, I think. You're probably thinking the same thing.')
(JP: 'I must apologise for not being my usual effervescent self in the course of tonight's programme, I feel a trifle subdued because of this lump on me tongue. A sore tongue is no laughing matter for a top jock. let me tell you that. We had some good records, though, and two top quality sessions.')
(JP: 'The last from our session from the Action Swingers tonight is a cover of a number by The Germs, and I was going to be enormously clever and play you the original as well, but unfortunately I don't seem to have a copy of it, so they'll just have to do it on their own, I'm afraid, without any support from me.')
(JP: 'I like to think that when the world ends with a bit of a bang, as it probably will, that after, you know, five or six seconds after the bang, there'll be the Wedding Present strumming away somewhere.')

File 4 continues with Lynn Parsons

Footnotes
  1. ↑ 'Tom' is really Tommy Vance handing over to JP.
  2. ↑ Peel cannot remember the name of the artists who originally recorded this: it was the Untouchables.
  3. ↑ As JP mentions, this is actually Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth.
Random quotes
  • a) Encoded in The Fall's music we find the true cognizance of late 20th century Brit-youth intelligentsia culture.

Thurston Moore

  • b) If that's singing, I'll show you my arse!

Tommy Vance
