...and some of the brilliant remixes there have been over the years, old and new. Like this one from Frankie Knuckles. <object height="344" width="425"> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXatWr1JJ5c&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></object> The 'Dangerous' album from 1991 also rocks in my opinion. Way ahead of it's time soundwise.

Sad news indeed. I was lucky enough to see him live quite a few years back and it was one of the best nights of entertainment I've seen - even people who didn't like his music couldn't avoid being wowed. I hope that in death the media focus more on his talents as a singer/performer rather than the other causes for media frenzy surrounding him in later years. Surprisingly moved by this, probably as he was a major presence in my youth and early adulthood. May he rest finally in peace.

Never been such a fan of the Beastie Boys. Always seemed like a bit too much noise about nothing to me...

Haha, love how they're 'bigging down' Zane's show...

I quite like the idea of that. Sounds like the beginning of one of those dodgy jokes, "This dog goes up to an ice-cream-van and orders a Calippo..."

So how'd the dog go about asking and paying for the Calippo, eh?!

Sharing food of any sort with a dog would be a no-no for me. We all know how they clean themselves after all... Urgh

Not wishing to spoil it for anyone, but some cursory googling turned up this site (with a handy print out map) - useful for anyone planning a game, but avoid if you're going to play and don't want to cheat... And just WHY am I bothering... It's a crap game really

I hadn't heard of the M2 before, but it apparently does exist... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M2_motorway

So presumably Scott's using Beccy's Facebook account to 'just click it and you're a member'... Or does he actually lurk on there somewhere. The mystery of his actually ok computer skills continues.

Missed loads of the show today - too distracted by new arrivals. We managed to lose them for 15 minutes earlier, despite the fact they've only been allowed in two rooms and not outside. D'uh!

Erm, they were talking about judging pigs a few minutes ago and now there's a picture of Beth Ditto..?! I'm guessing I missed something...

Thanks everyone... It's been a brilliant birthday weekend all round. The 'sk' actually became added as a nickname when people found out about my russian heritage, and has kind of stuck since.

For some odd reason this pleases me. If only for another excuse to hear Harry Hill taking the piss out of it again. 'Bring on the Wall!'

Been really enjoying the music on the show this afternoon...

This sounds bloody awful on the kitchen radio... It's the ROW?!

Many happy returns Lucinda. Hope you're having a really great 21st! Happy Birthday...

Enjoyed it, but like Kitty thought it was a bit on the 'light' side for a chat show... I did find Alan Carr generally hilarious though, and can see it developing in format to perhaps give more time to fewer guests (or be a bit longer).

Oh dear, first hearing of this 'Beccy' thing for me with Rio Ferdinand. It's not good is it? Ah well, there's always the day job I suppose!

I think that was all about equal access... It was a long list this time though.

I've never disliked so many people I've never met and seen for the first time in one sitting. I do like the premise of making them sleep on the floor and eat cold porridge though. Can't we have a big remote controlled stick to poke them all with? That must be feasible in this day and age... (remember the Mars rovers you could influence online from a few years back?)

Good to see you about Nik...

Urgh. Wish you hadn't included the one of that hostile pointless consumer of air that is Charley.

Best wishes to Nihal on his birthday tomorrow. Keep up the good work on R1 - you're rapidly becoming one of our favourites on the station around here.

Congratulations to Diversity. Flawless were fantastic in the semi-finals, but didn't quite hit the marks tonight. The best act definitely won, and are easily the best of the bunch for a performance at the Royal Variety in front of her Maj. Can't believe I'm saying this, but very enjoyable stuff overall. What's next?
