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.

Tracklisting[]

(JP: 'John Peel's Music On BFBS, with a wide range of fascinating records for you and those that you love most, starting with the new single from the Fall, which actually begins rather quietly, so we'll fade the sig right down and then play you the tune, cos I don't want you to miss a single golden moment of it.')
  • Fall: 'Big New Prinz (2x7")' (Beggars Banquet)
  • Acid Angels: 'Speed Speed Ecstacy (12")' (Product Inc.)
  • Prayers: 'Sister Goodbye (7")' (Egg)
(JP: 'An excellent single that, one I should like to hear coming out of the radio every hour on the hour.')
(JP: 'Here's a letter which is most uplifting, from my regular correspondent Dirk...It's a long time ago that I was supposed to do a gig, the John Peel Roadshow, which is just me and two boxes of records and anybody I can drum up to come along and kind of give me moral support. I was supposed to play the Zecher in Bochum: he says that, when it was announced that I couldn't make it because there were storms in the Channel, two-thirds of the people there burst into spontaneous applause. Thanks a lot for telling me that, makes me feel terrific, I must say.')
(JP: 'I was slightly disheartened actually by that letter I read out earlier on from somebody saying that when my non-appearance at a venue was announced, two-thirds of the people burst into spontaneous and enthusiastic applause. On the other hand I suppose I should look positively at it and think, well the other third didn't. On the other hand, they may just have been indifferent or too drunk or something to pay any attention.')
