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.

  • Domino label special: Four Tet/Max Tundra live at Sonar.
  • For the first part of the programme, JP is clearly more focused on the England v Portugal Euro 2004 Quarter Final match than presenting the show. (BBC report).
  • Peel seems crushed by England's customary defeat on penalties: "It's been a hard evening, hasn't it? I know there'll be a lot of people obviously who are not interested in football and then a lot of people who don't support England. But this has been a painful night. I really thought that we had a chance of winning it, winning something. What's really difficult about it is - I'm not going to go on about this at great length - but what is difficult about it is, you have to kind of put aside all of your normal club prejudices and learn to admire and respect players that you despise throughout the season. Making those kind of transitions is fantastically difficult and I know it's babyish to feel like that, and I know I shouldn't and at my age I should have grown out of this sort of thing - but believe me, it really hurts."
  • Ukraine's Fotomoto had been in the UK recently and recorded a session. Peel just missed meeting them, to his regret, but thanks them for the gift of a bottle of wine - "tonight it's going to prove fabulously useful."

(JP: "And this is not going to be easy. I'll get back to you at about half past ten.")
(JP: "My apologies to all the Welsh, Irish, and Scottish and all the other people listening to this program, but if we can score while that's playing once, we can score while that's playing again, frankly, and that seems to be the only reasonable course of action to take.")
(JP: "Actually, is anybody listening? Shall we just pack up and go home?")
