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.

  • Peel mentions Liverpool beating Brighton 4-0 in the League Cup.
  • Peel says he wasn't going to do the Festive Fifty this year, because fewer people each year have voted, but after discussing with John Walters, he'd changed his mind and decided to do it.
  • Peel mentions singing Blue Mama by Gene Vincent whilst he was in the army.
  • The Frank Chickens brought a Japanese record to Peel after coming back from their tour in Japan. The unidentified Japanese record got played on the show and is from a 10 inch mini LP, which Peel mentions not knowing the artist or title because of it being written in the Japanese language. The track turns out to be from Manekineko Kagekidan, a side project of Sachiho Kojimi and Sayoko Takahashi, who were both in an all female Japanese group called Zelda.
  • Peel plays two tracks from the Cocteau Twins' Tiny Dynamine EP and mentions he will play two more tracks from the EP on tomorrow night's show.
