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.

Various – Bllleeeeaaauuurrrrgghhh! - The Record FULL COMP.

Bllleeeeaaauuurrrrgghhh! was the onomatopedic title given to a series of three 7-inch grindcore compilation EPs, each played at 33rpm, released during the 1990s by the Slap A Ham label of San Francisco.

As proudly proclaimed on their covers, the records contained 41 bands and 64 songs, 52 bands and 69 songs, and 73 bands and 84 songs, respectively.

"The eleven tracks pass by in 15 seconds ... see what you make of this."
(JP before playing Seven Minutes Of Nausea's contributions to 'Bllleeeeaaauuurrrrgghhh! - The Record', 26 May 1991)

A huge grindcore fan, Peel was quick to pick up on the first EP in the Bllleeeeaaauuurrrrgghhh! series and played multiple tracks from all three of the records. As noted by Peel show book author David Cavanagh, the first compilation was an ideal fit for the “Uproar Break” mid-programme feature the DJ introduced in 1991 for refreshing blasts of grindcore and death metal.[1]

The DJ was no doubt attracted by the extreme brevity of the tracks deployed on the EPs, which wasn't unusual for such music, and seemed to take particular delight in anouncing the series title on air. The long list of bands featured on the records included session artists such as Agathocles, Extreme Noise Terror, Melt-Banana and Melvins.

Peel also played many other Slap A Ham releases.[1]
