Comments

  • Peel mentioned he had no electricity at home when the Great Storm hit the UK recently and was not able to hear many records because of that.
  • Peel mentioned that Steve Barker of BBC Radio Manchester has been playing Prong since 'the turn of the century' and has come second to him.
  • Peel says that he's been over exposed on TV recently after appearing on The South Bank Show: The Smiths and The Last Resort With Jonathan Ross. He goes on to mention about him and George Harrison who appeared with Jonathan Ross talking about the Bob Dylan concert, which Peel found horrible and Harrison finding it wonderful.
  • Peel says he's heard the latest Swans double LP and thinks he's had enough of them.
  • Peel reveals he will be going to Russia next year with the BBC and is hoping that he could go and visit Samarkand after reading on the newspaper that someone went there.
  • Peel mentions that if he had a tattoo, it would be something grand like the storm of the Bastille on his chest.
