  • Show comes from Peel Acres with Cat Power playing live.
  • JP appears slightly miffed that everybody seems to be having a good time in the kitchen (listening to Radio 2!) while he's working alone on the show.
  • Before the first Cat Power live track, Nellie the dog makes an unscheduled appearance in the studio.
  • It's explained that Cat Power's first name should be pronounced "Shawn" not "Chan".
  • The hornets mentioned on 16 August 2001 have returned.
  • The Betty Everett track is played as a tribute to the American Soul singer who had died on 19th August.
  • "Ian The Tank Engine" gets a chorus of Happy Birthday and a "fantastically fattening and death-dealing" cake to celebrate his birthday the previous day.
  • Disappointment is expressed when Tom and Flossie fail to bring any Elvis impersonators back from the local pub. Apparently there had been nine of them.

Session

  • Cat Power #2 (Live from Peel Acres). No known commercial release.
  • Note: The 3rd track "Islands" is missing from the listing in "The Peel Sessions - Ken Garner (BBC Books 2007)"
