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.

Naysayer

The Naysayer was an alternative country-rock band founded in 2000 by singer-songwriter Anna Padgett, the band's only permanent member, and former Retsin drummer Cynthia Nelson. The band released four studio albums before disbanding in 2006.

Padgett and Nelson first met at Wesleyan University, where Padgett was studying dance art history, in the early 1990s. Post-graduation they became close friends when they started working at the same restaurant in New York City. After Padgett moved to Los Angeles, she later reunited with Nelson in New York, where they began practicing with each other.

The Naysayer later arose from their collaborations despite their lack of intention of starting a band. The Naysayer released their debut album, Deathwhisker, in 2000 on Carrot Top Records; Tara Jane O'Neil joined the group to work on the album. They released their second album, Heaven, Hell, or Houston, in 2002, which introduced a bigger sound than was present on their debut album. In 2003, they released the five-track EP Pure Beauty. They have released two full-length albums since then: Kitten Time (2004) and Smoke Reality(2006), both of which were released on Red Panda Records. In 2006, Padgett gave birth to her first child, after which she disbanded the Naysayer and began recording children's music as The Good Ms. Padgett.
