Music + Playlist thread


oli

Recommended Posts

I know this is a rather broad topic but I was surprised there weren't any threads about music. Considering that we're always discussing radio so I thought I'd start this. But to make it a little more Radio 1 orientated feel free to discuss the playlist aswell.

So To Get The Ball Rolling:

- I'm very happy that the Professor Green Ft Example song Monster has been added to the playlist

- I cannot wait for the Hurts album which is out on Monday

- Who are people backing for the Mercury Music Prize, perrsonally I love the Foals album

Monster - Pro Green is amazing.

I am actually in love with him. Have the album. Just Be Good To Green and I Need You Tonight are AMAZING, I know all the lyrics to them..

People should also check out his old stuff too, and him freestyling.

Might have to check out that Hurts album. Love Wonderful Life!

I'm really liking The Script, at the moment. For The First Time is awesome.

OMASM. Radio presenters are like fruit. Matt is my kumquat and Scott is blatantly my orange.

I know. And what's with the S. African accent, booted in towards the end. No reason or anything.

Apart from the fact that Die Antwoord are hip hop artists from South Africa?

I'm not particularly bothered either way by this song.

I love Enter The Ninja. (: Amaaaazing. Reminds me of The Midnight Beast and their song, Ninjas. It actually has almost the same lyrics. I'm a ninja! (although TMB's version contains swearing in that part.)

I have had that song stuck in my head all day, even after listening to songs on Last.fm for 1/2 hour :(

First heard it on Dev's show. He said, either you really love it or you hate the song. Well, I like the rapping, but I can't stand the voice of the girl. It annoys me everytime I hear it. The accent makes it even worse!

Anyone seen the video? The first minute or so is quite good, but then it starts to repeat the same parts over and over again.

I saw a bit of it, but I got bored :(:D

Repeating is either a sign of cheapness, or that they couldn't be bothered thinking up new stuff for the video :D

    • He's alive and doing Calgon promotion! Those five weeks off have to pay somehow 😂
    • Annie did the Friday night dance show as well so I think that made her more prominent. She's an excellent presenter at new music and I think Jack is the perfect successor for this show. Clara was always in the 'good' category for me. She's been around since I started listening to R1 so feels a bit weird she's leaving. Think it's only Greg, Matt, Danny Howard and Pete Tong left now!
    • See I don’t agree…I think the three way dynamic is not really working. Vick & Katie are really great together and I enjoy Vick & Jamie together. It’s something between Katie & Jamie that’s not gelling for me. However it’s early days and they are still much better than some other combos. Plus Matt & Jamie were radio comedy gold for me so I don’t think Jamie’s the problem. Just maybe didn’t need to be a three. 
    • HAppy birthday Scott mills I hope u like the photo sent to you and I hope u recived my massive birthday CARD as I sent it to BBC RADIO 2 broadcasting house on special recorded delivery for you as let me if u have got it as I wrote a very large letter to you inside the card and sent a photo inside the card as well your biggest fan Yolanda xxxx LOVE 💖 YOU MILLIONS SCOTT  MILLS 
    • It's rather sad that Pink News is even running this - they should know better.
    • I was invested in the show when it was Vick and Jordan / Katie - now I don't pay attention and might leave the station when Jordan starts on Capital.  What I do hear is a mix of formulaic and awful.   It's strange how one person leaving a station can affect your outlook on the whole station.
    • Happy birthday Scott! Hurry up and get back on the airwaves 😊
    • Think it just depends on his commitments but agree he's a good listen. 
    • I liked her last show, but I don’t feel it had the same impact as Annie’s show. Also, I feel her tenure was quite short to be honest, so don’t understand what the sentiments are all about. I mean Annie did this show for 6 years and Zane Lowe for 12, compared to Clara’s 3 years. Looking forward to Jack taking over from her - I think he has a lot of influence from Zane Lowe and we need that energy in 6pm slot.
    • I wonder if R1 will do a big event type thing on the week that Jordan starts on Capital? It will minimise the number of people turning over I’d guess 
    • Hard to believe that all the new shows from September 2021 are now pretty much over, aside from RMC on the live lounge show, and even then, they seemed to change things up after 18 months or so. It feels like yesterday since 6th September 2021 when all those new shows began!  
    • I've never listened to Rylan before this week but have found him to be excellent.  He should be Scott's main cover going forwards
    • Always thought Arielle would get this show. She's the most natural presenter to Annie Mac. Maybe it was something to do with her Dj career and residencies in Ibiza
    • Sad that she said she felt different to others at Radio 1 having come from 1Xtra. Lovely how supportive Greg was through her career. 
    • To be honest she never filled Annie’s shoes in my eyes. It’s been a disappointing tenure having not been able to grow her show. It’s a stark contrast from her mid morning show where I preferred her to RMC.
