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.

ACC80s

Andrea Ross, better known as Angel Corpus Christi, is a San Francisco-based singer, songwriter and accordionist, who records and performs with her husband, guitarist Rich Stim (of MX-80 Sound).

Ross's first release was the I♥NY album, released by Criminal Damage Records in 1985. She followed this with the mini-LP Wake Up and Cry (1986) and the cassette-only Dim the Lights (1987), before returning three years later with Accordion Pop vol. 1.

In the mid-1990s, she signed to the major-backed label Almo Sounds, which issued White Courtesy Phone. It was produced by Craig Leon and features a guest appearance from Herb Alpert.

In the late 1990s she recorded with Dean Wareham (formerly of Galaxie 500 and Luna) and Alan Vega (of Suicide), and played accordion on Spiritualized's 1997 album Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space.

Her 2003 release, Divine Healer, features former Switchblade Symphony guitarist George Earth on guitar and bass, who also played guitar and drums on her 2005 Lou Reed tribute album, Louie Louie. In 2009, Angel, working with producer Dave Nelson, deconstructed seven Elvis Presley songs for her release, Elvis Elvis. In 2012, Angel released Angel Does X-tal, a five-song EP tribute to the San Francisco band, X-tal.
