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
  • "This is John Peel's music on BFBS, as if it could be anything else."
  • Incomplete show: first hour and beginning of second missing.
  • Peel seems fed up with all the talk about the new millenium: he would prefer to celebrate it at his own house, and finds it preferable to be the last person to see the new millenium in as opposed to the first. "Who really cares?"

Sessions[]

  • None

Tracklisting[]

(JP: 'I was looking at the press release that came with (Elfish Echo's) promotional material, and it says, "Music for the next millenium." Now, almost every record I get that has a press release with it says on it, "Music for the next millenium." I'm going to start some kind of fatwa against that, I think, because why shouldn't 1999 have some music? Everything's described as "music for the next millenium", and we're not there yet, or already there, depending on your persuasion, of course, or not there for a few more years. Frankly, I'm bored with the entire business already, and I wouldn't be too surprised to discover that you were too.')
(JP: "He is majestic ... Some of the tracks at the end of this LP are actually Elvis songs done in Swedish, and I am looking forward to hearing those a great deal. I'm kind of rationing myself to one track a week, or perhaps two ... Anyway, great stuff, no question about it ... I can't wait to see Eilert. I'm trying to persuade people to book Eilert for some gigs, in London at least, so we can see the great man in person.")
