  1. Just heard it on Newsbeat. My first thought was: Finally!
  2. I'm confused with this whole situation. If it's real, why are they making it so awkward for everyone involved. If it's a prank, they went waaaay too far.
  3. Tragic news, RIP Annie. I was a regular listener of hers in the early 10s and an occasional one since then. I'm happy I was able to hear hear the few live shows she did in this period. She will be missed.

    Chris at Capital

    Does anyone have a recording of him appearing for the first time, or is it available somewhere on demand? I'm not really famailiar with Capital. Thanks in advance!
  5. What a timing, I just came across my old last.fm password again last week, and started using it again, so this link is really useful. Thanks!
  6. Today's 00's show sounded fantastic, and this is exactly how Anthems should sound like. Big mainstream hits you can still hear sometimes anyways are included of course (Cry Me A River, Complicated, Halo), but they are being played side by side with lesser-known ones. Some of them I haven't heard since they were new or never heard at all! No awkward mashups or mixes, just the songs in full. Especially grateful for "Alpha Beta Gaga", this is the second time I've heard it, and wasn't able to find it first time and gave up. Such a fantastic tune! You're right, it's a bit too soon for that kind of 10's show, but it'd be great to hear those songs, which R1 played a lot in the (early-mid) 10's then completely forgot about (eg. The 2 Bears, Twin Atlantic, Madeon). The special, laid-back playlist they've been using since last weekend has some songs that would qualify and I loved hearing them (eg. Birch Tree by Foals and Eyes Shut by Years & Years from this afternoon).
  7. Daytime: I give up, I'll never like RMC's show. When they not talking or laughing over each other, they just introduce songs after songs. They still don't fit in at all. (This is about the OG trio, not the recent, mixed up versions like RM & Vicky, Melvin solo, etc). I like Vick & Jordan mostly as they are, but would improve a couple of things: Whenever one is off, let the other present solo. The whole daytime schedule feels overcrowded anyways with this much double-triple acts. We need more shows with solo presenters IMHO. It feels waaaay shorter that it is. In home office my daily routine included Scott's show, then a quick nap, then going for a bike ride, and the time I'm back they're already at the Something Songs. I really missed the last half hour of Scott and still missing the 6-7 hour of drive. I'd prefer the simpler 4-7-10-1-4-7 schedule to come back. Nighttime: The station-wide Hottest Record right at 6 was a mistake, it's just a song after the news without any direct hype or buildup, and the weekend extension watered the feature down significantly. (A Jax Jones pop song as Danny's hottest record? Really?) Clara: The music is great, Clara is great, but this combination still feels odd. Powerdown Playlist: That timeslot could be used for something live, and keep the prerecorded stuff Sounds or R1 Relax exclusive. Everyone else: I haven't heard them enough to form an opinion. Sarah's first show was amazing though! Too bad I missed it every week... for a year... maybe this week!
  8. I agree about the quality of Anthems but there's no need to be this angry over it, there's always an off switch or a dial. Sometimes I still tune in by accident and catch classic Anthems moments like this one (from 2:25) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001b9gt At least the new 00's show sounded promising, I even heard songs that were brand new to me! Let's hope they pair it up with a 10's show in the close future.
  9. Text us on 81199... WHhhHHhHoooOOOOoOoOoooooOOoOOOO!!!!!!!
  10. I only heard the first 20 minutes, but starting 3 songs in a row wasn't a good sign. I guess I haven't missed much. I'll probably tune in tomorrow though.
  11. I'm staying on R1. Arielle, Greg, Vick & Jordan and Jack are still on, and also the new 00's show wasn't that bad as I expected. Will definitely check out Scott's first shows tho.
  12. Weird, I tested it on multiple devices, and it played just fine even without logging in. Anyway, I looked into it, and a help article suggested to add the tracklist manually, otherwise it might get blocked for others, so I did that, so hopefully it works now. The copy-paste embed worked, but here's the link itself just in case: https://www.mixcloud.com/vorticonguard/scott-mills-2012-03-30/
  13. I might be able to help you with that, since I started listening in 2011 and decided saving shows later that year, mainly because I ran out of the 7 days limit on iplayer too often to listen to something I missed. For example here's Scott's last drivetime show featuring an introduction by a listener, obsession over Call Me Maybe (wHhhHhoooOOOoo), a quite long best bits compilation, and the last ever Wonderyears and Ready For The Weekend. Note: I've never used mixcloud before, so I'm sorry if the link breaks later if I messed up something.
  14. I think after Amy's reaction we can rule out Mariah. And also sweary, uncensored songs. "Funny at first, then it gets sweet."? Still could be a Christmas song, but I don't think it is.
  15. Awesome idea, but that would need more than just us here on the forum. (I don't know if I can help cause I'm not from the UK.) But if social media, especially popular figures like artists or other DJs get involved I can see the song make it easily to the top 40.
