It’s October! And to kick start the week you’ve got a review from me, who rather than doing some useful homework or any thing like that, has decided to give you a summary of tonight’s Scott Mills show.
Chappers appeared to be in quite a good mood today, which he puts down to Spooks being on tonight. Me nor Scott knows what that’s all about, all we know is it’s MI5 not 9 to 5. Laura meanwhile is likely to be spending her night playing Scrabble. Scott would prefer to be going out, like most university students who seem to either be going to see James King or Judge Jules tonight.
Now if you’re like me (the word sad comes to mind), you’ll have gone out and brought a copy of The Hoff’s new single which was released today. I did it just to spite my friends who dislike it. By the end of the night Scott had found four callers who had each gone out and brought the single. The second caller said it appeared to be very limited in demand. More reason to buy it, it’ll be a collectors item! And another guy brought one from Virgin Megastore in Ipswich and found there was only 32 singles left in the shop. He especially counted them for us, and he’s going to tell us tomorrow if they’re still there. It’s currently doing the rounds in ASDA as their ‘single of the week’. Scott thinks it’s worth a buy if only for the house remix on the single, which should be on Scott’s Friday Floor Fillers this week. I found myself in Woolworths being asked why I was buying it, only to give the response ‘because it’s great!’ What discrimination you have to go through to get this CD. Even then they didn’t seem to know where the CDs were being kept as there were so few available.
This week’s Record of the Week is by Robbie Williams and is called ‘Lovelight’. I’m thinking it sounds a bit like JK, whilst others think it’s a bit like the Scissor Sisters. Tell me what you think on the forum.
He’s got the horn… have you? Jazz, not to be mistaken with ‘Jaz’ which brings up a picture of Bin Laden
Now you can understand why Scott got a silver at the Sony Radio Awards when he looks at a broad variety of musical topics. Today Scott looked at the many types of Jazz Magazines that are available. Mr X was on today, and he’s got an embarrassing story to tell about his jazz magazines that he’d left under the carpet in his spare room. They’ve gone missing. Now you’d presume the girlfriend has found them. But actually his mother-in-law is staying too, and she’s staying in the spare room, and likes to moves things around. She’s very nosey, and has been giving Mr X evils ever since. But she’s always done that. So has the magazines fallen in the hands of the girlfriend or the mother? And what should he do? Scott thinks he should tell him that the magazines were left from the previous home owner.
Following that, we had Nick the Plumber on who is an expert in hidden jazz magazines. He’s taken out bathroom suites and found adult magazines wrapped around the base of pedestals and in toilets in carrier bags. But does he keep them? He wasn’t prepared to tell us…
So where are the Top 10 places for these magazines to be hidden? Scott comprised a list, which looks a bit like this:
Under a loose floor board
In a toilet system
Round the wash basin
In a box in a loft
Under the mattress
Behind furniture
In the sock draw
Under the wash basket
Under the sink… and…
Next to the slipknot album
Now Laura, she’s a few biscuits short of a church coffee morning, so it comes as no surprise to hear that she spent the day watching the Amazon.co.uk book chart today. As we all know (if you read the forum and news page), she’s releasing Laura’s Diary as a book. And it’s presently 12,552 places high in the charts despite that fact she’s not even finished it yet. One e-mailer commented on how funny it was it’s already 20% off without being released. Yesterday she spent her time sending thing to and from the publishers, using her boyfriend James’ e-mail address. She didn’t know if the stuff had sent, so had to keep checking the sent folder to confirm it all. But whilst she was there, she found a very amorous e-mail from James to one of his female contacts. Thankfully the e-mail was sent in 2004, so it’s unlikely to mean much these days. Unless James has his calendar set two years in the past…
Flirt Divert
And now more amusing tales on the Flirt Divert line. It’s like Halloween has already arrived. Firstly we heard from a guy who was calling Janet to invite her to a fair. And no doubt he’d have got her a cuddly toy, had she have not given him the Flirt Divert number. Then we’ve got the bloke who seems to treat women as if they’re three years of age. Beginning his message with ‘ello, ello, ello, ello’. Which only works if you’re auditioning for The Bill. And even they haven’t used that line since 1982. Finally we’ve got John. He was calling the person who went ‘up the ask’ the other night. He wants to know if she wants to go for a drink with him, presumably in the same place. We believe it’s a pub, although there could be many other colourful explinations to this message. Could it be linked to McFly’s new song – featuring the ‘when I fell in love with Uranus’. Let’s move on shall we?
“Quick! In there! There’s a clothes crime going on!”
And coming up later tonight on Radio 1 you can go shopping with Steve Lamacq. Has he become the new Trinny and Susannah or the new face for Sainsbury’s?
Chappers: “What for? Twiglets?”
Scott: “Don’t know!”
Chappers: “What? It must say!”
After a few minutes more details came in to Scott. It involves £200 and a record shop. So we’re guessing it’s not a supermarket, and doesn’t involve a trolley dash. Shame. May be a future feature though, eh?
And during the show on the forum we were talking about Celebrity Wife Swap which is on tonight. Scott picked up on one of the pictures we put up, which made him feel sick. The advert is certainly an interesting one. It comes with a delightful picture of John Mccririck and Edwina Curry, her with a spatula in her hand and him with his man boobs out. Delightful.
Chappers: “Could be worse… could be the other way round”
Rate My Listener
The new Rate My Listener picture got a record amount of mingings…
A good show tonight, with some good banter. Don’t forget to let us know on the forum what you thought of the show, and we’ll have some of the highlights to download shortly.
