- Comments
- Peel is planning a tableau of the repeal of the Corn Laws for the webcam: “We’re checking the lighting, trying to get it just right … this is the kind of superficial nonsense that preoccupies us here at Radio One. Much more important to get a good snap on the webcam than to play some decent records.”
- The Voice’s introduction to the Peelenium is done down the phone, as Peel forgot to record it over the weekend. Lonnie Donegan plays guitar on the Chris Barber track that leads off the four songs from 1955. Peel again reminds us of the upcoming event at Queen Elizabeth Hall featuring Donegan and Half Man Half Biscuit.
- Apparently unexpected rude words immediately before the Kings Of Feedback track.
- The Death Of Chatterton (by Henry Wallis) is restaged for the webcam in the second half of the show, although Peel says it’s a long time since he saw the painting and he doesn’t remember it too well. Admits the final result may require some suspension of disbelief as Chatterton was slim and elegant with lots of ginger hair.
- ”Rather improbably” there are two Rolling Stones songs in the show. One is by the band themselves, ahead of a cover version by the Hellacopters in session the following night. The other is a cover by Fuck from Peel’s birthday CD (now named "Unpeeled").
- Footballenium: Chelsea win the league, Newcastle beat Manchester City 3-1 in the FA Cup final, Liverpool have their worst-ever season (11th in Division 2), after relegation the previous year (JP: “I remember that terrible moment).
- An email from Skreen of the Cuban Boys mentions the upcoming single release of Cognoscenti Vs. Intelligentsia.
