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: 'As of 9 o'clock this morning, there have been 11,444 records to rhyme "holler" with "dollar," and that was one of them.')
(JP: 'Every track on this sounds like a hit single. I mean, I know that's the sort of thing that people put in record reviews, but it really is true, and the record plays constantly in our house, in somebody's bedroom or in the car.....This next one'd be our Tom's tip, if he had a Tom's tip for this week.')
(JP: 'Last weekend, we were sitting around, a bunch of us, in the evening with a couple of bottles of red wine, I think it was, chatting of this and that, discussing if there's one particular noise in all of popular music that always made you feel good, whenever you heard it, you immediately knew what it was, could immediately identify it and immediately made you feel, "Oh great! I'm glad somebody put this one on." Ultimately, I advanced the cause of the noise that you're about to hear: well, nobody disagreed with me.')

  1. JP mistakenly calls the track 'The Anthem', which is on the other side of the single.
  2. JP refers to this as 'So Spoiled,' for unknown reasons.
