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
  • Peel mentions Liverpool beating York City 3-1 in the FA Cup.
  • Peel mentions that Janice Long told him last week an unidentified Radio One Disc Jockey was ridiculing her directly and indirectly to him behind his back for listening to demo tapes.
  • Peel is wondering what the word Skink means from the song by A Riot Of Colour and telephones Dominic from the band, while records were played and found out that it is either a Scottish word meaning to pour out, a lizard, a kindred kind or a Scottish soup.

Tracklisting[]

(JP: 'I liked the helicopter guitar in that, Siouxsie And The Banshees and that's Lands End. The last time I was at Land's End was with DLT, strange lives we lead hey')
(JP: '...How Far Can Too Far Go? In my case, the nearest Indian restaurant, but I don't think they had this in mind, and this is, well this is an oldie from The Cure, nostalgia time')
(JP: 'La plume de ma tante sur le bureau de mon oncle. That's 3 Mustaphas.... - (inadvertent burst of music) Get off!. All appearances to the contrary, that was 3 Mustaphas 3 and a new single from them, a 12 inch. And I've got a 7 inch, as well, which is kind of white label, probably very collectable. Let's hope they don't issue it in 7 inch form so that, if I live for another 20 years or so, I should be able to get like a couple of quid for it.') 4
