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.

Name
  • John Peel Show
Station
  • BBC Radio One
YYYY-MM-DD
  • 2001-06-27
Comments
  • Peel says he'd like to get the Strokes in to do a live set at Maida Vale before the end of the year, but expresses his fears that the group's publicists may believe them too big a band to consider it, as has apparently happened with other groups in the past.
  • There is a competition in the show to win a 2 CD Ramones anthology. Initially there are 5 copies to be won, but Peel says they will buy 5 more to make it 10. "I like the idea of buying them to give away rather than just getting them from some promotion organisation because it seems more of a sort of pressie then."

Sessions[]

  • Strokes Debut broadcast of one and only session.

No known commercial release.

Tracklisting[]

  • Briefs: C'Mon Squash Me Like A Bug (single) Sub Pop
JP: "I actually phoned somebody up to discover whether that was a pedal steel guitar that was being deployed on that, nobody seemed to know. But I reckon it was." (See 19 July 2001 for a follow-up)
(JP: 'Everybody at the moment seems to be talking about the Strokes, this isn't necessarily a good thing I have to say, because if they're fashionable at the moment then they may not be in six months time and I think they deserve a better fate than that because they're quite clearly a good band. Nevertheless, we're very pleased to have them in session on the programme tonight of course. Be insane to pretend otherwise.')
(JP: 'I love Lightnin Hopkins you know. I've still got more vinyl LPs by Lightnin Hopkins than by any other artist.')
(JP: 'This is one of those records which when I played it at home, I played it at 45 and it sounded exactly right. But cueing it up here in the studio again, it sounds quite mad at 45 but then it doesn't sound right at 33 and a third either. See what you think.')
(JP: 'Do you know, I still can't figure out what it is that that reminds me of. But it is a great tune, no question about it and always a pleasure to hear it.')
  • Kettel: These Birds Around Meadows ('Brother Max' 7") Mouthmoth
  • Ronnie Ronalde: I Miss My Swiss My Swiss Miss Misses Me (CD - EMI Presents The Magic of Ronnie Ronalde) EMI
  • Jahmali & Jahmel: Wipe The Tears (7") Penthouse
  • Nacao Zumbi: O Caranguejo Da Praia Das Virtudes (CD - Radio S.Amb.A) Stern's Brasil
(JP: 'I haven't the slightest idea how to pronounce any of this to be perfectly honest with you. Why I don't just make life easy for myself and play old Oasis records I don't know.')
