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
  • A hilarious moment ensues when JP desperately tries to get the CD containing the Cure track, which is only 10 seconds long, to play. Andy Kershaw is in the background, and comments, when only a couple of seconds play initially, 'I think that's all we need to hear of that.'
  • He conducts a phone interview with David Gedge of the Wedding Present in which he chats about gigs David has recently been to, and the new session. Also Peel interviews later on in the programme, Glenn Scullion, drummer of the Bridewell Taxis, whose session is broadcast on this show along with the Wedding Present.
  • Peel replays a snippet of the beginning of Nirvana's Sliver after the song, as he likes the track when the guitar comes crashing down the lyrics and says it is a great record.
  • Peel plays three singles from the Sub Pop label in a row on the show.

  • File a cuts in
  • Public Enemy, 'Can't Do Nuttin' For Ya Man (Bass In Your Face 7 inch mix)' (Def Jam)
(JP: "There are many pleasures, actually, to be derived from working at Radio One over the weekend, because the building is by and large deserted most of the time. Occasionally, I take all of my clothes off and run naked, screaming obscenities, through the corridors: but more importantly, and more often too, I play records enormously loud. So loud, in fact, that this afternoon, I gave myself earache by listening to this next LP in particular.")
  • Surgery, 'L7 (LP-Nationwide)' (Amphetamine Reptile/Glitterhouse) e
  • Merrill E. Moore, 'House Of Blue Lights (LP-Belly Full Of Blue Thunder)' (Ember)
(JP: "There must be some significance to this "L7" which I don't fully understand. It's probably something saucy, like a lubricant.")
(Peel's phone interview with David Gedge) c
(JP: "I'm not just saying this because David Gedge is listening and he's bigger than me, but I think that's magnificent.")
(Peel's phone interview with Glenn Scullion, drummer of the Bridewell Taxis) End of on c
(JP: 'I'm seriously tempted to say this is the best stuff I've ever heard from the Wedding present, I think that's magnificent!') c
(JP: 'Sounds like the title of an Incredible String Band LP.') e
