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.

Comments
  • Start of show: "Howdy pals, look in for another John Peel's Music On BFBS, and to start the programme this week, we've got Stereolab. This, surprisingly perhaps, is..."
  • He mentions seeing Aretha Franklin in London at the end of the 1960s, having gone at the insistence of Johnnie Walker.
  • John says "as threatened" when playing the second Stereolab track. [1]
  • He plays both sides of the new Kenickie single (the A-side would become the 1996 Festive Fifty number 1 that year, the shortest track ever to do so).

Tracklisting[]

(JP: 'It does at times sound as though different things have been edited together, and they've assembled it in front of us all in a kind of rather haphazard way. Nothing wrong with that, though, in my view. Whatever they do is just fine with me.')
(JP: 'To be honest with you, I never was terrifically keen on this, but sometimes a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do...Duane was just fine, but those howling women I wasn't very keen on.')
(JP: 'And do we want to hear more of Myrtle K. Hilo? I think probably not, actually.')
