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[]

Recording a begins

(RDB: 'Yeah I think I heard that one somewhere before.')
(RDB: 'And this record, if you listen carefully does mention the one and only BBC John Peel and Andy Kershaw')
(RDB: 'So I was slightly lying when I said that was the last track before the festive fifty continues. We have got one more. This is probably one of the most requested tracks of the last couple of months.')

Recording b begins

(RDB: 'It's Festive Fifty time, number 35. Who on earth could it be? We descend into the grime dungeon.')
(RDB: 'I can't even announce who this one is until we've done this warning.')
(Disclaimer: 'The legendary Festive Fifty on Radio 1, as voted for by listeners to the John Peel show. You may find some of this show's content offensive. So, if you're easily upset by foul language or disturbing concepts, please switch off now, and have a very merry Yuletide. Elsewhere.')
(RDB: 'So there you go. You may have guessed it is Shitmat in at number 33, with one of the best titles of the year.')
(RDB: 'John was absolutely amazed because he'd only previously been talking on the show about Laurie Anderson's original 'O Superman', which went to number 2 (in the UK charts) in the early 80s, but this is at number 28 in the Festive Fifty.')

Footnotes
  1. ↑ From their only session, live on 07 July 2004.
  2. ↑ Thanks to Mark Whitby for correcting a long-standing error. As can be seen, X Booty is the label, as opposed to the artist. The confusion probably arose from the fact that neither of the artists concerned were credited on the release.
