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.

  • Start of show: “Boogie Chillun!”
  • An organised voting campaign has been spotted by those counting the Festive 50. JP warns against such things, saying that all votes for the band in question will be cancelled.
  • Says a Kinks track from an old compilation, but can’t remember why he put it in the show. The old Marvin Gaye song played in honour of the evening’s session guests (from Detroit) is also from an old album, liberated back in the 60s from a radio station in San Bernadino, California, and therefore close to Peel’s heart.
  • Tonight’s Pig's Big 78 came from a listener in Newcastle, who sent it to Peel through the post along with the rest of his 78s. Unfortunately, around a third of the records broke during transportation.
  • One lucky listener gets his chemistry homework done for him.
  • Peel has just heard the news about Robbie Fowler (leaving Liverpool for Leeds): “How am I going to live with that!”

Session[]

  • Dirtbombs #1 Live from Maida Vale. No known commercial release.

Tracklisting[]

First email of the night: Just caught a programme on TV featuring your dulcet tones and was wondering whether you managed to keep a straight face whilst saying 'but dog and cat pooh is no laughing matter'. JP: Well, I did as a matter of fact... because what happens is you sit in a basement somewhere in Soho and a green light comes on and you just read from a script that you've been given. It's not as though I wrote the scripts myself, and you don't really have time to look at the picture as well as it is happening. So when the programme goes out it is often quite interesting to me as well. But I did say that - and anyway, let's move on.

  1. Chains Of Love
  2. Motor City Baby
  3. Ode To A Blackman
  1. Granny's Little Chicken / Stuck Under My Shoe
  2. Can't Stop Thinking About It
