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.

Tracklisting[]

(JP: 'As you might imagine there has been an amazing amount of hypocritical nonsense about the, well the, recent war in Iraq. In my own opinion, it is a continuing war and will continue for a long time in one form or another and the newspapers of course, have been interesting to say the very least, some of them are desperate, some of them are pro-war, others are extremely anti-war. One of the anti-war newspapers have been the Daily Mirror, and they been partly instrumental along with War Child and one of the record labels in releasing an LP called Hope, which is for the children of Iraq and I'm sure it was well intention and so forth, but I have misgivings for these things and it features a lot of tracks by people which you might not be particularly interested in, I don't know, Travis is there, Paul McCartney, David Bowie, George Michael, Lee from Blue and so it goes on, but there is rather unexpectedly for I was concern, a track from New Order on there and it's their version of Jimmy Cliff's Vietnam.')
