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.

Eggs

Eggs was an American indie rock band from Washington, DC founded by Andrew Beaujon, who originally helped start Teen-Beat record label with Mark Robinson at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. The band was active in the early to mid 1990s and are perhaps the only band to ever mix horns with indie-pop.

Links To Peel[]

The group did a session for Peel's show and their music was played quite regularly on his show in the early 90's. Peel criticised critics who argued that they sounded like the Velvet Underground where he said on his 08 March 1993 (Ö3) show that 'the first person to say, "Wow! It's just like the Velvets!", dies.'
