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.

Felix Culpa

Felix Culpa was an American new wave band from Sonoma County, California. They only released one single ('Terrorist Love Tourist') in 1980 and an album of their complete works in 1985.

The name "Felix Culpa" loosely translates to "the fortunate fault", "the blessed fault", "the fortunate fall", or "the happy mistake", and it refers to Adam and Eve's fall through original sin; it was taken from John Milton's Paradise Lost.

Peel seemed to have discovered Felix Culpa in 1982 when he played their single, 'Terrorist Love Tourist' on his show. He would also often play it on his BFBS shows in the 80's and 90's and would mention on his programmes that it was one of the most requested songs on the radio station.
