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: 'I can't really talk to you very much about things that have been going on in my life this week, perhaps you'll be pleased to hear that. It's been mainly football of course, as it has been in a lot of people's wives...lives, rather. What did I mean by that? Obviously, if I was to talk about the last match that I saw, it would kind of date this programme, because I don't know at what stage of the proceedings you get to hear it. But I hope that by the time you do hear it, that (Steve) McManaman's had a match, and that Michael Owen has been amongst the goals.') [1]
(JP: 'One of the matches that I have seen with which I was most engaged was the first match featuring Jamaica, and I really wanted them to win. I mean, any reasonable person would, I think, and I was very disappointed that they didn't, but they were very brave, and Robbie Earl's goal, fantastic goal...frustrating was the fact that very morning I got a reggae record from Kingston called the Reggae Boyz by Black Congo, which is actually too warped to play. I can only play you a little bit of it.')
(JP: 'Very very very old listeners to John Peel's Music On BFBS may just dimly remember a record by Don Carlos called Late Night Blues, which I used to play a great deal whenever it came out twenty years ago, something like that, maybe 17 or 18. Don Carlos has reappeared. He may have made loads of records in between, but I've missed all of them, or most of them anyway, and this the first of them that I've been aware of in about 10 years.')
(JP: 'For those of you who have trouble translating the Sumerian, the lyrics of this translate as, "Yeah baby, tonight's the night, yeah tonight's the night, yeah oh yeah."')
