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.

Comments

  • Part of a continuing series of Peel highlights assembled by Peel Mailing List user parkermike81.
  • The first three tracks are from records brought back from Japan by Dean of Extreme Noise Terror. All formats appear to have alternate titles.
  • The tape contains the debut airing of an entire session, and most of the first part of the mixtape appears to come from the same show, 02 May 1990.
  • Later tracks have now been dated and interestingly the tracks from 10 May 1990 appear to have been recorded in reverse order.

  • (JP: 'This is the time of the year when I have a lot of sympathy with women. Well, I have a lot of sympathy with women anyway, but particularly those people who wander around and get shouted at by blokes on building sites, although why they always cite building sites particularly, I don't know, because it seems to be fairly universal. I'm reminded that when women don't wear much by way of clothing, it may be, well, because it's more comfortable that way in this kind of weather. I say all this because I came into work in shorts this evening. It's quite an extraordinary thing because nobody had ever done it before. I know I look terrible in them, well, I look terrible in anything, but at the same time I quite clearly don't do it so that people will go mad with lust at the sight of me: and yet, every time people see me, they point and say, "Look at the state of that!", and you think, just because you're unattractive, there's no reason why you should be uncomfortable as well. I say this every year, but it really annoys me every time it happens. So for all of the people that have laughed at me this evening, I hope that tonight you sleep on a concrete bed, which just happens to be the title of this.')
