You think you need a flame-proof jacket for saying you don't like Fearne? Not around here!

Birthdate UK #1: Yazz and the Plastic Population - 'The Only Way Is Up'
Best birthday #1 is 'Country House' from when I turned seven.
-
Mine is Yazz and the Plastic Population - 'The Only Way Is Up' which could be worse but it's a bit annoying.
I have always found DJ Sammy covers completely bizarre. Don Henley just...should not be a club song.

I am loving tonights tuneees, especially Prodigy! Am getting ready to go out and its making me sing alongg!
I've only listened occasionally (usually I am not home at noon on Fridays) but this one seems particularly great.

Rhythm is a dancer was number 1 on my 3rd birthday
And my fourth! I actually looked back at what was #1 on all my birthdays once.

The ROTW is really...very odd. "You either love it or you hate it" - no, I just think it's quite odd. But this is my first time hearing it so I may hate it tomorrow.
I know I love Last Shadow Puppets though (though this first single wasn't what got me hooked).

It really annoys me when Yanks call it "soccer"
It's not just Yanks - Canadians too, and in Canadian French "le soccer." It's just language differences, though the North American "football" really ought to have a different name since kicking the ball is a very small part of the game.

Goodness, this is worse than the "Greek Like Me" song.
-
Haven't heard this Keane song in a year and a half, something like that.

Good point. If it'd been in Greek, Becci could've got away with anything.
Precisely! I have some music that is in neither English nor French and if it sounds good, I like it...no idea what they're singing about and it very well could be something bad.
Do the regulations that prevent foul language on the radio apply to impolite words in Greek?
-
I think the lyrics were a bit more vulgar though...
Further evidence that it's generally preferable to sing in one's native language!

Someone posted Beatles lyrics so I'll take it I'm allowed to post something else that isn't contemporary in the least.
Split Enz - "Maybe"
And if you all had rooms
Would you still have room for me?
Making the way for you
And the dear ol' family tree
Like a stormy sky, it's a sad song
It's just a point of view, but a true song
And if you all looked up
Would you still look down on me?
I'm just a country boy
Can't you see that I'm still green?
Raising finance for the day we meet
And gazing headlong down some empty street
Maybe she'll come along
Sweep me right off my feet
Maybe, please don't be long
I need all the help I can get
Maybe we'll get it on
Ooh - la - la
And when the day breaks
In our stately home we'll sit
Remembering the days
Before our hearts were set
Hoping is not enough to live upon
Such a far far cry
I can't go wrong
Maybe she'll come along
Sweep me right off my feet
Maybe, please don't be long
I need all the help I can get
Maybe we'll get it on
li - li - li- la -de - de - di etc.
This is early Split Enz, from 1975, and odd though this choice may be, I really love this song - I think it's a brilliant depiction of being young and uncertain about the future (but retaining some hope).

I still can't decide if I actually think that song is good or the most mindlessly annoying thing I've ever heard. But I guess I wouldn't object to them being number 1.
And I still can't decide if I dislike that song or the Madonna song more! My boss tipped me off to the Ting Tings back in November or so - didn't like the song then and I don't like it now. At least it's not Rihanna?
Maybe I should watch interviews with them because I think Katie looks mean in photos I've seen and this is part of why I've been developing quite a dislike for the Ting Tings; perhaps she just photographs badly.
ETA: Okay, she's on the chart show now and doesn't sound unpleasant in the least. Still don't like the song, though.

Don't complain - be grateful we international listeners are even able to listen to Radio 1 (it's not just Americans who can't see the videos - it's anyone outside the UK). I was shocked when I found out BBC radio is available to anyone with an internet connection. I'm very very happy that it is, of course, but don't quite understand why they have chosen to give me this access. I'm not paying for it; I'm paying my ISP for internet but they're not giving Radio 1 any of that money!

I'm listening to Huw Stephens at the moment. The two live Hot Chip songs he played stuff definitely didn't sound as good as when I saw them live last month (that show was fantastic). The sound on a big outdoor stage certainly wouldn't be as good as at a small concert venue like Métropolis, but it's not just that; Alexis isn't singing as well on this. But I'm sure it was just as good for dancing.

Perhaps this is why I can no longer load the site most times I try (the internet connection in my dorm is ridiculously slow this year). The old site worked. At least I can get updates on here while I can't listen to the shows.
