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.

11 November 1989 (BFBS)

18 November 1989 (BFBS)

(JP: 'Hello again, legions of fans worldwide, it's another John Peel's Music On BFBS. Almost missed this programme actually, trying to find a pair of headphones which don't reek of Bob Harris' combination aftershave and silver polish, but we've come up with some and we're going to start the programme with...')
(JP: 'I'm sorry to go on about aftershaves and so forth, but young Bob does seem to kind of soak the headphones in the product that he has chosen for himself, which isn't one that I would have chosen for anybody, actually. I mean I don't really like the smells of perfumes of any sort, but this one, it kind of lingers with you, even if you use the headphones for like a few minutes - the smell is with you for a couple of days, and when I go home the children cry, and the dogs sink their yellowing fangs into my firm young thighs and so forth. It's really most unpleasant.')
(JP: 'That needs to be listened to at such volume that your brain cells liquefy.')

25 November 1989 (BFBS)

(JP: 'It's a curious thing about these session reissues, because a lot of the ones which seemed dead radical now sound, you know, rather tiresome, really, and other ones which you assume, now, when you kind of look...People say, "Well, the Associates, kind of tunes and things," it actually sounds quite radical.')
