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.

Pop-Off Tuesday

Pop-Off Tuesday were an experimental band formed in 1995, which used abstract sounds combined with downtempo and breakbeat music. The group consisted of Japanese duo Hiroki Miyauchi ("machines") and Minori Odaira ("guitar/vocal") who were classmates studying English in London. The band recorded a single for the indie label, Origin Music, called This Old Lady, which later got attention by Pickled Egg Records, who signed them up after hearing their session on John Peel's show. The duo continued performing music until around 2002 when they released their last album Pop Ahoy!. There has been no information on the internet on what has happened to the band after 2002. The group throughout their time did two sessions for Peel's show and even reached the 1998 Festive Fifty at number 5 with the track "Unworldly".

Pop-Off Tuesday recorded a single for Origin Music, "This Old Lady", which Peel heard and liked (even though a friend worried him by claiming that the band sounded like the Cranberries [1]) but, by the time he tried to book them for a session, they'd been forced to return home to Osaka as their visas had expired. Undeterred, Peel managed to track them down in Osaka where they recorded the session which was broadcast in July 1997. The group also managed to enter at number 5 with "Unworldly" in the 1998 Festive Fifty and also did another session that was broadcast in November 1999. By the time the 21st century came, the group were practically forgotten by Peel's playlist and even their Pop Ahoy! album in 2002 didn't get any attention from Peel himself.
