I didn't know much about The xx until recently (the xx remix of You've Got The Love is just amazing).

But I've found this. And, its just pure musical bliss. Love. Love. Love.

I Know!!!

I'm listening to it now, it is very good, it is very melodramatic, give it a couple of listens though they're are loads of big hooks

I like illuminated and stay and of course wonderful life.

I also like the xx album but the Foals album just grabbed me a little more

Listen to Spanish Sahara (deadboy remix) it is immense (as is the original)

Also Alex Gardner's new song 'feeling fine' is worth a listen if you strain you memory you might remember him from 'I'm Not Mad' which was ok but this is much better

Yeh, I know what you mean though. I've heard kids out in the street sing it as well.

The lyrics really bother me.

I don't think a lot of people know what the song is actually about. It's serious stuff really. As to the actual song, I think it's alright, but again, it's not something I would normally listen to at all.

You're at uni. now? I thought you were still a nurse?

I really like it because of the meaning. It's not some senseless rap about crap. It actually has meaning. It's sad that it means nothing to most people.

Like, when I played a really personal song to me to my friends, and they said it was awful and started a random conversation, that sorta hurt me.

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

Quite liking the new Kings Of Leon track Radioactive, that Fearne's played today... infact it seems to be so popular she's played it again straight away.. I knew repitition on radio1 was getting bad but this is ridiculous.

I got Klaxons new album today - worth a listen! It's very different to Myths of The Near Future - it seems to have a more polished sound and the band seem to have grown up a lot on it. It's still brilliant though!

Alouette...deployer les ailes;

Alouette...plumerai les ailes.

I don't understand why 'White Blank Page' by Mumford & Sons has been added even though it doesn't seem to be being released and Radio 1 snubbed their latests single 'Thistles and Weeds' I'm beginning to think that they only added it as some sort of clause in the contract for the Mumford & Sons and Friends night

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
