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[]

File 1: begins

(JP: "And how nice to see so many of my bands creeping into your programme. Perhaps it'll be the turn of The Fall next, I look forward to that.") [1]


File a begins

  • Fall: "Why Are People Grudgeful?" (single)
(JP: "And last Sunday night it was that Andy Kershaw and myself and a gang of other people including the Pig went along to Subterrania to see Diblo Dibala and Matchatcha... If I was to make a list of the ten best gigs that I have ever been to in my entire life, that would most assuredly be amongst them.")
(The Little Richard cover version has been found and will be played tomorrow night, but during the search Peel found ...)

File 2 begins

(end of 11:30 news)
  • Hole: "Beautiful Son" (JP: "just a few minutes behind The Word, as usual")
  • Bandulu: "Song" (session track)

File a ends File b begins

  • Action Painting!: "Sensation No.5" (on Sarah Records)

(JP: "A week or so ago I played you a track from a 7" EP by some people from Ohio called Guided By Voices and mentioned then that they'd had five LPs apparently released previously and someone was good enough to send me one of them. On Rockathon Records, it's called 'Propeller' and the titles - as is quite often the case with these sort of things - don't really marry up exactly with the number of tracks that there are on the record itself, but this could be "Mesh Gear Fox."")

1991 Phantom 50
  • #28 70 Gwen Party: "Autokiller UK" (which "will bring great pleasure to our William, if he's listening...")
  • Knight Brothers: "She's A One" (also found during the Little Richard cover search)
  • PJ Harvey: "50Ft Queenie" (single)
