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[]

09 January 1986 (BFBS)

(JP: 'Stanley wanted me to play the first single from Talking Heads, and as far as I know, this was the first one.')
(JP: 'I was tempted latterly to sing along with that, but I think you'd have spotted the join.')
(JP: 'Next week we'll strive for an intensely raucous edition of John Peel's Music From BFBS. Those were the Moodists, ending this week's programme.')

11 January 1986 (BFBS)

  • Quads: 'There Must Be Thousands (7")' (Big Bear)
(JP: 'Still sounds wonderful to me.')
(JP: 'From their début LP, which I recommend to you: if you haven't already got it, at least try and hear it all the way through because, quite clearly, when they first started out, more than a certain amount of critical acclaim followed by the inevitable backlash. But I do think it's one of those LPs people will listen to in three or four years' time and say, "Actually, that was extraordinarily good!", as indeed it is.')
(JP: 'From here, it looks as though 1986 might be alright, musically at least.')

18 January 1986 (BFBS)

  • Styng Rites: 'Baby's Got A Brand New Brain (7")' (Snaffle)
