The John Peel Show

The John peel Show was a long running Radio show that was aired Twice a week on BBC radio Two. It was hosted by the late and legendary DJ John Peel himself and ran for almost 30 years. The show was first broadcast in 1975 and lasted right up til 2024. But sadly it came to an end with the Sudden Death of the DJ, aged 64. Nobody lives forever, but it was sad to hear of his departure.

This show was in my opinion, the best music show on BBC Radio. There were various factors contributing to this verdict. The main factor being his support for up and coming bands. If you had a group or were an artist, you could send your Demo in and he’d try to play it. However, he’d get so much sent into him from all over the world that it was impossible for him to play them all. Groups that caught his eye would often come on the show and play live sessions.

But One of the other great things I loved about John Peel was that he knew lots of listeners would be taping his shows at home. So he would make sure each track had played right out to the end before he said a word. But even when he did talk, it would only be to Introduce each track. However, the BBC conditions required him to do a certain amount of talking on each show. So, he would tell you all about a Tour a particular group is doing. Or an album theyd released. So even the time he had to talk was used constructively.

John Peel Today

It would certainly be True to say that he is gone but not forgotten. Although John Peel himself is dead, his spirit surely lives on. The DJ has been dead for over 20 years now. But we see a lot of his legacy displayed in the styles of many DJs today. John Peel set a new standard for music DJ’s. A Standard worthy of a following.

Back in the day, John Peel was the Only DJ that operated the way he did. But nowadays we see his style reflected in the styles of many DJs today. There’s been many a good DJ over the years, but none have left an impact like Peely did. It’s quite an achievement not only to provide your listeners with great music. But to remould how music is broadcast is something special.

The John Peel Show

BBC Radio One’s legendary broadcast, ‘The John Peel Show’ was probably, at least in my own opinion, the best Radio show ever produced by the BBC. He was certainly a Pioneer in Radio Broadcasting. Although, he had come from the old Radio Caroline Pirate radio Ship and Music was his main focus. Soi he was already much better than what Radio One usually played.

Back in the old days before the Internet, MP3s and Digital Technology, we used to use Cassette tapes to record songs from the radio that we liked the sound of. However, this could be tricky to get a decent recording when you had some Radio One DJ rabbiting on and interrupting the song. But John peel would take care to make sure he didnt interrupt because he knew people would be taping tunes from the show.

However, I think the thing Peely was best known for was for his promoting of the smaller and lesser known groups. Thousands of bands sent their demo tapes into the show in the hope that theyd get aired. But unfortunately, many didnt as he only had so much time on air and theyd keep flooding in. When he died in 2004, he had a full barn of unplayed demo’s. Although his family have tried to release what they can. But it’d probably take a hundred lifetimes to get through them all. However, there have been many bands over the years owe their fame to the legendary DJ.

The John Peel Show

John Peel was a well known D.J in the United Kingdom who had become a household name by the time he died in 2004. He started off on the Pirate Radio Ship ‘Radio Caroline’ in the 1960’s, but soon ended up broadcasting on the BBC. His time with the beeb was spent mainly DJing. However, he did make a few TV appearances as a presenter, the most famous of which being Top of the Pops which he presented between 1978 and 1985. But this wasn’t for him really and he soon went back to his Radio Show.

However, although his show was broadcast on Radio One which is generally pretty crappy, his show was top quality. Unlike most other Radio One DJs, he never interrupted the music. The rest of them would talk over the track but John peel would deliberately wait til the song had finished completely before saying a word because he knew many listeners would be at home recording tracks from the show on cassette tape.

Champion of the Underdog

However, I think one of the greatest things about this show was that Peely would always try promote little unheard bands. Many groups would send their music demos in to John Peel in the hope of being aired. But unfortunately he wasn’t able to play them all, although he did bring a quite a lot of bands into the limelight.

But although he’d try play as many as he could, he only had a few hours a week airtime but the Demos were coming flooding in. When he died, he had a whole Barn on the farm he bought, stacked full of unheard demos from rising bands all over the world. However, his family have started trying to release some of this material. Although, It will take a few lifetimes to play them all. But at least some are getting aired. The spirit of Peely lives on. Many modern Radio DJs and shows have adopted the same approach.

Chumbawamba – The Day the Nazi Died

Chumbawamba – The Day the Nazi Died

Here’s a ;little Anti-Fascist ditty from the Northern English Anarcho-Punk band Chumbawamba. ‘The Day the Nazi Died’ is a nice little upbeat song with a stark reminder that Nazism and fascism isnt just something that went away at the end of World “War two, but is still rife today.

Lyrics;

We’re told that after the war the Nazis vanished without a trace
But battalions of fascists still dream of a master race
The history books they tell of their defeat in ’45
But they all came out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died

They say the prisoner at Spandau was a symbol of defeat
Whilst Hess remained imprisoned and the fascists, they were beat
So the promise of an Aryan world would never materialize
So why did they all come out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died?

The world is riddled with maggots, the maggots are getting fat
They’re making a tasty meal of all the bosses and bureaucrats
They’re taking over the boardrooms and they’re fat and full of pride
And they all came out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died

So if you meet with these historians, I’ll tell you what to say
Tell them that the Nazis never really went away
They’re out there burning houses down and peddling racist lies
And we’ll never rest again until every Nazi dies

Chumbawamba

Chumbawamba were an Anarcho-Punk group from Burnley in the North of England. Many of their songs had an upbeat tune to them, but they always carried a political message. They’ve always appealed generally more to the underground scene. However, they did have a Hit single ‘Tubthumping’ in 1993 that shot to the Number One position in both the United Kingdom and the United States.

About Iguanacondas


“Is it an iguana? Or is it an anaconda? You bet your ass it is! And whatever Bathtub Skooze may be, this debut Compact Disc by The Iguanacondas is soaked in it from cover to cover. This has everything you’re looking for in a surf record: the cool, ominous rumble of the rhythm section, the slow undulation of Bigsby-induced swells, the glassy warble of staccato leads swimming in spring-reverb, and the sonic evocations in Technicolor, of sunburned dudes in tie-dye board shorts hanging ten through the barrel, wind-torn palm trees, and men of espionage and international intrigue.

But this disc is less what a surf record is and more of what one can be. There are brief but well-placed and well-executed forays into piano balladry, blues, psychedelia, and even an almost-country number whose lap-steel slides greasily back and forth between Hawaiian and honky-tonk. Sparse and haunting vocals break through on occasion, ruminating on feeling fish-like or yearning for extra-terrestrial deliverance from the tedium of life amongst a population that forever wallows in a cell-phone-addled trance.

Written, produced, and performed by Chad Vickers, (lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass guitar, drums, piano, organ, lap steel, vocals, and metal floor vent a-la wooden fish). There’s an impressive diversity in this one-man-band. My advice is to run out and purchase this Compact Disc, give it a spin, and enjoy where it takes you if the saucers don’t get you first.” – Greg Newman
