:"John Peel's Music on BFBS, and this is our merry yuletide programme, made particularly earlying by the fact there are no, yes - no, go on, count 'em, Christmas records, and this includes the Jesus And Mary Chain, of course."

*Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel: Descent Into The Inferno (album - Nail) Self Immolation WOMB FIP 4 $
:(JP: 'Well now this next is for Robbie, who wanted a lot of information. He wanted to know about the Crippled Pilgrims and the Blue Orchids. I was going to send him some information about all of this, but I think I probably failed to do so. And he also wanted to know why I haven't played the new Peter and The Test Tube Babies record. The main reason for that is, I don't think it's very good: frankly, it's awful, to be honest. He also wanted to know whether New Order are going to be touring in Germany next year. Well, I've been phoning their information office in London, and people who've tried to get in touch with them in the past will be able to confirm this, it is not easy to ascertain anything about the current activities of New Order, so I've failed in this respect as well. But he did want me to play something for himself and LW, Oliver and Hupsy. So, hope this'll do.')
