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.

Mclusky - To Hell With Good Intentions

To Hell With Good Intentions

Mclusky (usually rendered stylistically as 'mclusky') were a three-piece punk band from Cardiff, Wales, who combined the energy and ethos of punk with varied dynamics and intelligent, black-humoured lyrics. The group consisted of Andy Falkous, aka Falco (vocals, guitar); Jonathan Chapple (bass, vocals) and Matthew Harding (drums), who was replaced by Jack Egglestone in 2003. According to the band, they formed in 1996 when Andy and Matthew met at the Blackwood Miners’ Institute, a venue in their home town from which they were both ejected for dressing as miners. They subsequently met Jon at Reading Festival when they caught him urinating on their tent late at night. Originally called Best, after early Beatles drummer Pete Best, the band signed to London label Seriously Groovy and released their debut record, the 3-track single Huwuno. They changed their name to mclusky in 1999 (adopting a strictly lower-case approach to the band name, album and song titles), and the following year released their first album my pain and sadness is more sad and painful than yours on the Fuzzbox label.They released three albums in the early 2000s, the latter two recorded with producer Steve Albini. They officially disbanded on 7 January 2005. Some of the members (Falkous and Egglestone) later formed Future Of The Left, who have had entries on Dandelion Radio's Festive Fifty charts in 2009, 2012 and 2013.

Links with Peel[]

Speaking at the time of the broadcast of the group's debut session on 09 May 2002, Peel appeared to be unaware of their debut LP from 2000, "My Pain And Sadness Is More Sad And Painful Than Yours". A subsequent search at Peel Acres revealed that he didn't in fact own a copy. He commented, "that's disappointing too. Where have I gone wrong?". He went on to say that it was "shocking" that they were only invited to record a session for the first time in 2002.
