Start of show: "Howdy pards, it's another John Peel's Music On BFBS, and amongst the treasures that I have for you this week, four more tracks from the new LP by the Fall, and also four tracks from what must be one of the most impressive debut LPs of the past few years. In fact, one of them is coming along now."
A discussion of what country is not: "All of the stuff I hear these days...it's kind of soft rock played by people with ponytails and stuff like that, and really it doesn't work at all." To prove his point, two tracks by Merle Haggard are aired.
Peel's experiences playing the Hacienda in Manchester: "It was a most interesting evening: I mean, they hated me, I'll be perfectly honest with you, because what they wanted was like seamless beats per minute or something. There were a lot of people who were about a third of my age who wanted to hear Clash records all evening. It was very peculiar indeed."
King General & Bush Chemists: 'Conscious Ites Cut 5 (12"-Gunman)' (Conscious Sounds)
(JP: 'The LP generally does have a kind of live feel to it, which is another way of saying they're making it up as they go along, like some of the early LPs, and for that it's a change from the two or three previous LPs, and is welcome for that.')
Omni Trio: 'Living For The Future (FBD Project VIP Mix) (2x12"-The Deepest Cut Vol 1)' (Moving Shadow)
(JP 'The last couple of times I've seen Babes In Toyland, it's been a pleasure to see them and all that sort of thing, but they have by and large it seemed to me to have just been coming over, you know, playing some of their better-known numbers and pocketing the money: obviously, a grotesque exaggeration of their attitude to the whole thing, of that there can be no doubt at all, but they're coming over again, and somebody gave me a cassette of a new LP and it souds pretty good. I've only heard four tracks and then our Flossie took the tape and it's disappeared, never to be seen or heard again, at least not by me. But I was talking to some bloke at the event I mentioned earlier on, where I had to eat locusts, about Babes In Toyland, and I couldn't for the life of me remember the name of their first single, It was of course this.')
