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 Ride record from a fax request by a listener called Sarah that he received yesterday.
  • Peel plays a track from Bis that is from their forthcoming album that has not been released yet.
  • Peel plays a track which features a vibrator from Barbed and advises kids don't try playing the guitar with a vibrator without a doctor's certificate !! Later on in the programme, a listener mentions on a fax that Barbed may not have been the first artist to use a vibrator in the track. He specifies an artist called Steve Hillage from System 7 using a vibrator on one of his tracks that got played on the show.
  • Peel mentions after the Saint Eileen track from Headbutt that his mother in law is also called Eileen.
  • Peel plays a Polkacide request from a listener and mentions that when it was first released in 1986, he found it fabulous, but is not sure now.
  • Peel mentions his son William saw the Wedding Present playing yesterday and thought they were better than he'd ever seen them.
  • Peel plays tracks from Pavement's Brighten The Corner album and was going to play Elvis Presley's Blue Hawaii record after Pavement's Blue Hawaiian, but couldn't find it.
  • Peel mentions being astonished when reading the Independent On Sunday how much celebrity DJ's get extraordinary amounts of money paid outside their radio work and says that the last gig he performed, which was at Manchester, he only got paid £150 with no expenses.
  • Peel plays a Slade record after lead singer Noddy Holder appeared on Stuart Maconie's show last week. He goes on to say that his favourite Slade record is The Bangin' Man.

(JP: 'When I was a lad and first told jokes, one of the jokes that delighted me actually, was when somebody said 'What's black and white and red all over?', I don't know the answer to that, that's too good for me, and somebody said, a newspaper you see, it's black and white and it's 'read' all over. I thought it was magnificent, still do really and this is a pathetic reason, probably a terrible reason that is for ever being playing a record. That was Red Rag and this is Black And White Rag.')
