Frozen Indigo Angel... Whoooooooo?!!

Jesus christ, Olivia Rodrigo was around 3 years ago!?! I thought she was only born in 2019. Anyway. They are doing it to rival commercial networks, on the main 2 lists anyway with rotating them more. Which all in all is a pit of misery. I'm sick to bloody death of Stick Season, it's an utter bag of mediocre wank that makes me even prefer James Blunt circa 2005. Radio 1 still is more expansive however, loved stuff they play and make their own early days, like Jungle Back on 74 like last year. They can't lose doing stuff that, or else they become bland like everyone else. They have done that for many years though. I heard a song on a March 2001 aircheck from Chris Moyles recently and rediscovered a song by Kings Of Convenience, called Toxic Girl. Totally lost over 25 years but totally love it like it's new. Radio 1 has always played the big time pop stuff since your nan was 3. But they always have and still do throw something on the playlists that isn't what everyone else has. I hope they continue to do that as it sets them apart.

I think they are looking too much into this and need to get a proper job where you have to get up at 5am.

I thought it fit perfectly, I don't understand why it didn't go on longer than it did.

This feels like Colin and Edith after Mark & Lard all over again. From what I recall by the end of 2006 it was Edith on her own for a good while. They'd already moved Colin Murray to nights where I must be honest he did a cracking show circa late 00s. But it was never going to replace what was before on afternoons. Deja vu imo, with Scott and Chris. It does feel like they may have been the stop gap as sad as it sounds, until time moves further on and totally new different talent goes onto afternoons. Following on from Scott Mills was always going to be an impossible job. I'm not just saying it for the sake of it either. He nailed early breakfast, my favourite times was drive with Chappers, he wasn't half bad with Chris Stark either. Whoever came on it was always going to be dammed if you do, damned if you don't for a couple of years in a way. It will all settle and Scott's days at Radio 1 before you blink will be 10/20 years ago.

I thought he'd been kidnapped by Al-Kebab or someone, not something as elaborate as this. At least he can sit down now in the studio.

Superb sports coverage, always puts talksport to shame imo. Mind you anyone who employs Gabriel Agbonlahor should be ashamed anyway.

Haven't you only just finished that? Isnt it still 2005? I wish it actually was, over time my beard in my avatar has now turned blood red sadly.

No doubt the mordern society we live in would want Greg ripped off the air. I'm sure what he said wasn't meant in any bad way. He's not a bad bloke. He's apologised, move on. We may as well take risks and live in the moment now. For right or wrong. Because in another decade, you could probably end up being arrested for watching repeats of 8 out of 10 cats on Dave.

I've never listened to capital. But if the adverts go on as long as they do on absolute, then you'll all be pissed off by 7am.

I have DAB in my pride and joy. However I drive a runaround as well to keep the miles off it, which is a grandad car and probably still has a tape deck if I look hard enough. So I think FM will be about a fair bit longer. Im old enough to remember the big DAB push in 2002. Adverts all over local commercial radio saying switch over now, or it will be like pre world war 2 come 2006. Never happened.

Can't really pin it down to one single presenter. Probably a mix of Mark and Lard and Chris Moyles when he was on afternoons, when the two shows followed each other in the late 90s. Dave Pearce on Dance Anthems contributed heavily too.

Some of the old airchecks I have about from 2001 mention one big Sunday. Think that's how it started life, as a bit of a roadshow revival but for the more modern 00s. Then kinda grew from that

An afternoon with Mark and Lard was brilliant today. Amongst all the laugher, did kinda hear that Andy Parfitt was a bit of a prick. No surprise there then.

Last Train Home was actually a decent song, shame a nonce ruined it for the rest of the band. I actually voted mouldy lookin stain on the poll.
