As some are probably already aware, the former drummer with the Stereophonics died earlier today. He was an integral part of the bands early success and was still very much involved in music, his new band even due to play at Download on Saturday.

RIP

kate lawler just played bartender & the theif on kerrang around 15 mins ago. some tracks are better than others for me, but still a shame to die at such a young age. they are dropping like flies this year.

rip

by the way. what was the deal between mark & lard and kelly jones? or the stereophonics in general. i should know, but i never can recall the story of why they didn't get along. mnl used to rip the piss out of them on air sometimes.

He was 40.

Thing is, Cable wasn't the best drummer in the world, he wasn't even close. But he did play on some of Stereophonics best early tracks, such as the 2 I've posted. For me, that is how he will be remembered.

In a story of how the mighty have fallen comes a report that former NY Knicks, Bulls, Raptors,and Rockets player, Charles Oakley was reportedly beaten down by a small Las Vegas casino’s security team sometime this past week. Some pics have been floating all over the internet via Twitter of the incident since a hostess from another casino was a first hand witness to the unfortunate event. No details are currently available as to why the assault took place. The takedown of one of the NBA’s most feared players apparently was pretty severe since “Oak” was taken to a local Vegas hospital and sustained a broken right arm and sprained neck, along with a few other minor bumps and bruises. Even at age 46, standing 6’9, and still in great shape, Oakley probably was a tough takedown for any of the casino’s rent-a-cops. As recently as 2007, Oakley hinted at a return to the NBA with either the Mavericks, Heat, or Cavaliers but decided to remain retired after no one wanted to offer more than the league minimum contract. Since his retirement he has made news for continually stating how “soft” today’s players are compared to players during his heyday in the late 80’s and early 90’s when he was one of the league’s elite level defenders, rebounders, and was revered for his physical style of play. More recently Oakley, as a close friend of Lebron James, chimed in on his free agency frenzy, and stated that the reigning league MVP won’t go to the NY Knicks. Oakley remains one of the more underrated players of his generation since he was a throwback of years past when players played the game as it was supposed to be played. After becoming one of the NBA’s greatest success stories coming out of the tiny Virginia Union University, Oakley developed a reputation of being one of the hardest working players in the league. While most top draft picks of his generation like Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins were high flyers, Oakley played below the rim using his high basketball IQ and an often over the top physical demeanor. Although he never won a rebounding title, he finished in the Top 10 in rebounding every season between ’87-’94 and finished his career with more than 12,000 rebounds. The legendary Michael Jordan, although he took a beating from “Oak” during the Bulls/Knicks playoff battles during the 90’s has stated on numerous occasions that Oakley is the smartest player with the basketball he has ever played with or against. The two have a close personal friendship even to this day. Hopefully Oakley is on the mend and will be given a job within his friend MJ’s new team, the Charlotte Bobcats, since judging by this incident, Oakley obviously has too much free time on his hands. I’d love to see what kind of shape the casino security guards are in after the fracas, since by reputation Oakley has been known to never go down without a fight.Kobe Bryant Jersey

First headline I saw this, the headline I saw that I clicked on just said Cable found dead, and kinda thought it meant Vince until I saw the picture next to it. Listened to Decade In The Sun on Monday night in tribute , now digging out my copy of Hurry Up And Wait (single) which had a version of I Wouldn't Believe Your Radio with Cable on vocals.

I actually have that playing now while Radio1 plays the crap new 3Lions.

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.

      Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?

      I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.

      Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.

      I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.

      With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
