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.

  • The show comes from Maida Vale, where Lift To Experience play a 45 minute live set.
  • As revealed in the previous night's show, Peel had been telephoned by Captain Beefheart over the weekend. During the course of the conversation, the Captain had mentioned a Sonny Boy Williamson song, which Peel takes as an opportunity to play it.
  • Peel says he had planned to play a Bob Lind track after the Pulp song that namechecks him, but he has run of time at the end of the show.

Tracklisting[]

  • (JP: 'Well hello there, crowd of people and we're down in our Maida Vale studios in front of a select audience of some of the most attractive people in the country. And later on we're going to have a live set from Lift To Experience. Right now, the band that made the programme great.')
  • White Stripes: Fell In Love With A Girl (LP - White Blood Cells) XL
  • (JP: 'I was reading in the Observer magazine last weekend that this programme is again briefly fashionable purely on the strength of playing records by the White Stripes... we were immensely proud, as you can imagine.')
  • Digital: Hard Ears (Quad One Double Pack 2 x 12") Function
  • Junior Kelly: War Now (7") Maximum Sound
  • (JP: 'For some reason I feel really nervous tonight. Maybe it's because it's my birthday in a few hours time and perhaps it's because I've just been told that Lift To Experience are fantastically loud and even in this kind of little booth in which I operate, the whole place is going to vibrate. So it's going to be pretty thrilling.')
  • Big Eyes: Back Seat (LP - Clumsy Music) Pickled Egg
  • Sonny Boy Williamson(2): Fattening Frogs For Snakes (LP - Down And Out Blues) Checker
  • (JP: 'One of the first four LPs that I bought when I went to live in Dallas in 1960. The others being by Jimmy Reed, Bo Diddley and Lightning Hopkins. How sad is it that I can remember that?')
