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 first heard it on Huw Stephen's show. i think he was filling in for someone. Greg, maybe? he had it as his rotw...

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

Is it really sad that one of my most listened to songs is Baditude by that Dave Spoon guy, but with Scott Mills on it with the 'Spoon, two spoons, Dave Spoon,' bit, and Scottitude verse...?

    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
    • There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1. 
    • I’m pleased for Mylo and Rosie, they were highly thought of in our local area and definitely worthy of that slot
