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: 'That's Leo Kottke. I was going to say Leo Sayer: that would have been a slip of the tongue. Same label.')
(JP: 'There's going to be some sort of a backlash in this house pretty darn soon, actually, because it's been a testing day today, because the Pig my wife has gone off with some of her mates for the day. Quite right so: she should do it more often, but this has left me in the house having to take care of business, and the two children that are living with us still decided to celebrate this fact by both having a lie in. So daddy is not in the best of all possible moods.')
(JP: 'You know something? I've got an uncomfortable feeling I'm playing this at the wrong speed, although I wrote 33 down on it. Why did I do that, I wonder? Errr, cracking up. I'll tell you what, I'll play you another record...I can't really move across the room fast enough to change to 45 without appearing ridiculous, as though I didn't already.')
(JP: 'Here's a band we don't hear very often these days, alas.')
