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.

Tracklisting[]

(JP: 'The first letter I opened this week just says, "Many thanks for not playing any of my requests nor answering any of my letters in the last month." I apologise that I'm a bit late with the mail and so on, but obviously a fair amount of it does come in, not just to these programmes.In fact, these letters for some reason seem to get priority, 'cos I put them in a special place at home which is sort of like closer to where I do me work than where the other mail goes. A lot of mail comes in for the programmes that I do domestically, fifty or sixty letters a day. I mean nothing like 10,000 like the stuff you read in the papers, but enough, and along with like listening to records and tapes and so forth, it's not always possible to keep up lengthy correspondences, although one does one's best. This particular weekend, I've not been able to answer any of the mail because of the necessity of earning a living, which has taken me to Nottingham and Glasgow and Huddersfield, and then Sunday night I very selfishly get introduced to my children. They're always pleased to see me.') [1]
(JP: 'That's called XX Sex. By and large, I've turned my back on it, or perhaps more accurately, it's turned its back on me.')
(JP: 'Actually I think it's been several weeks since I've played you anything by the Fall, so this is...')
(JP: 'Sorry, I was poking my ear while that went on, in case you could hear some strange rustlings in the background. I always like the smell of earwax very much. My children do as well, so it's obviously hereditary. It's something that's always appealed to me enormously. I think it's important that I pass these things on to you, though, because you may be missing out on one of life's more enriching experiences.')
