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.

(JP: And two of the best things about 1981 have been the success of Heaven 17 and the Human League in the Chuck Berry and Eddie Cochran tradition respectively.')
(JP: 'Bad programming, this. Very careless of you.')
(JP: 'Always actually surprised about this, I must say, never one of me favourite tracks by the band.')
(JP: 'Another new entry at number 22, and a very welcome one.')
(JP: 'Most people agree that this is the record of the year.')
(JP: 'Release The Bats and I Could Be Happy notwithstanding, I think that must be the record of the year.')
