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.

  • A competition is announced during the programme to win one of ten copies of the Jesus And Mary Chain 'Live In Concert' CD released by Strange Fruit. Entry must be made via the Peel page on the Radio One website.
  • The session track 'Kiss Loves You' by Prewar Yardsale reminds Peel of his affection for the Kiss album track 'Black Diamond'. He muses that he might play it in tomorrow night's show from Peel Acres... but doesn't.
  • John mentions having listened to the Jo Whiley show at lunchtime, which featured a live session from Radiohead. He was struck by the juxtaposition of the group's "lugubrious" music being made on a sunny day with the noise of an ice cream van in the background. JP: "I think they themselves would admit that they don't fit a sunny lunchtime really with an ice cream van parked outside."

Sessions[]

  • Prewar Yardsale. Only session, recorded 2003-04-23. No known commercial release.

Tracklisting[]

JP: "I tend not to be the life of my parties, I must admit. I always get rather morose at some stage of the evening, go and stand in the shrubbery by myself, thinking deep thoughts."
