  8. Can’t listen to capital fm anymore

    in Radio

    Posted

    I never really started, my association with that 102.2 frequency around my way stopped when Galaxy did. Radio 1 do go mad on artists too, they used to over 20 years ago during my peak listening. These days it's Raye for instance who's severely overrated. But their main playlist is far more expansive. Stuff like Jungle Back on 74 last year which I liked was played by Radio 1, never saw it make Capitals playlist.

  15. Scott v Matt and Mollie

    Still Scott for me. I'm not too much into the 70s and 80s radio 2 play but do love the injection of 90s and 00s. Then Radio 2 push for all this country stuff and it not a UK thing, and I frankly don't like it. Scott's show as in features, hit and miss. I like the music police bit, but it feels like someone needs to join him. It's a shame Chappers is so busy with sports, as it feels like it could do with someone like him jumping on to help. Or a new partner.

    Radio 1, take or leave. Matt and Mollie are OK from what I've heard and share a good connection, but it's the playlist that throws me off. They could bring back Chris Moyles to do that show, but as soon as something like Headie One comes on with that casino keyboard produced crap. It would still be switched off from me.

    listened back on sounds or iPlayer Radio whatever it was at the time of his New Year’s Eve/day show from a few years back fitted had a good mix of old and new music that didn’t quite expect to hear on radio 2

    His NYE shows were very good. Only thing I would say is he was shackled down slightly there. During his peak he played some great trance stuff in the late 90s and early 00s. So if he were to do a regular show that would have to feature more. Aside from I'd love to see him back.

    Totally agree on Dance Anthems. But instead of getting a E list celebrity to do it, they need to bring back Dave Pearce if he would be up for it. He was there when they were new, played them on Radio 1 and to the crowds then. I'd love it to make a return. Properly.

    Or maybe bring in a rotation of reputable DJ's from way back on a router. Judge Jules, Sonique, Dave Lee (Joey Negro), Pete Tong if he wanted a go. That would be really good to hear.

  20. The Radio 1 Playlist

    in BBC Radio 1

    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. 

  23. Dean and Vicky - what happened?

    in BBC Radio 1

    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.
