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[]

30 March 1991 (BFBS)

(JP: 'Here's another track from the Fall: I keep forgetting to include them in the programme because we've still only got them on cassette.')
  • Fall: 'You Haven't Found It Yet (LP-Shift-Work)' (Cog Sinister via Fontana)
(JP: 'How can they go on being so good? Every single time a record comes along, I think to myself, this is going to be the one that's no good, and it hasn't happened yet....My favourite track of all actually is the last track on side 2, track 12 if you like, on the cassette, which is called Sinister Waltz and I've got an awful feeling we're not going to get to it before the end of this programme, but we'll press on anyway.
  • Parasites: 'Last Caress [1] (7")' (Shredder)
  • Fall: 'A Lot of Wind [2] (LP-Shift-Work)' (Cog Sinister via Fontana)
(JP: 'It's incredibly vain of me I know, but on every Fall LP there's at least one song that I have a suspicion is about me. Quite clearly this is paranoia as much as anything, but "roly-poly man," stuff about programmes, "talks a lot of wind," and also says has a ponytail too, and last time I met Mark E. Smith, I did have a ponytail which he very strongly objected to, so much so that he refused to have his photograph taken with me....he relented in the end, but only because it was my birthday.') [3]

06 April 1991 (BFBS)

(JP: 'Rather irritating, actually, I found that, but there you are...Where are the Stick Men now? Probably doing something like selling aluminum siding in Philadelphia, which is where they came from.')
