Pissed Off In Ayrshire !!


Viv

Recommended Posts

Is it just me, or is anyone else getting fed up with all the disruption to Scott's shows.

I know people have a perfect right to go and do other projects, blah, blah... and I do admire the Uganda stuff...... However, I am getting fed up with different DJs in Scott's slot.... plus, however hard I have tried this week, I haven't been able to get used to Scott being back on air.

Plus, the feature about people's boyfriends/girlfriends turning "gay" just sounded rushed and.... dare I say it?! Sloppy?!!

Plus, with the Xmas period coming up, there are likely to be more disruptions to scheduling.... :evil:

Why can't DJs just go back to being DJs (that's all). It makes my head fizz. So much so I have decided to tell the entire World all about it.

How is it ever gonna be a bonus, if you are used to a certain person in at 4 pm, then they aren't anymore!!

As I've said somewhere else, I normally like Sara a lot, but she showed up in Scott's show, sounding like she'd had an overdose of sugar ....

From a listener point of view, I am finding everything very disruptive. :-(

So to conclude Viv is pissed off because Scott is off then when he comes back she remains pissed off as she can't get her head round him being back on. Maybe DJ's should only be on until they need a holiday, then once they go off they stay off so us as poor listeners don't have to compute our minds to get used to having them back.

And DJ's having time off for other projects. How bloody dare they? Everyone knows once you're a radio DJ you stick do being a radio DJ. No time off, no other projects, no furthur career.

At the risk of rocking the boat, would it be a fair comment to say I think Viv might have been in a bad mood yesterday?

On one hand I agree, it can be annoying when DJs are pushed around due to holidays and other commitments but I think its something we need to accept and live with. However I don't think Sara is too bad, she used to really do my head in but these days I think she is alright, particularly if she has someone else in the studio to talk with.

Generally we only have Scott missing from drive if he is on holiday or covering for Chris, but this is also the case with Greg and Dev (covering Scott and Greg respectively). Its just unfortunate that Saras presence is more noticable at the moment as Scott has other things on at the moment and she was covering for Chris when the breakfast show teams holidays all went a bit odd recently.

Not impressed with censorship

I was slightly grouchy at the time. But I still say that the constant changes to schedules are disruptive, no matter who the DJ is. I do wish him well with his projects however!! :-)

Anyhow, Scott was saying yesterday that he will on for AGES after this, even during this Xmas period, so I am happy again. At least, I will be when he gets back. **

And from the comments on the Home page, it doesn't seem like I am the only one that is thinking what I have been thinking, and still think.

** I think.

Ps: Well done, Andy Mac !! Quite enjoyed the 'phone call being played out!! :-)

    • I don't know about that but somebody's messed up with the dates on the lanyards this year, they're all the wrong date!
    • Is big weekend the only place to get long boi merch? It's sold out! I'd love to have got my hands on some. 
    • Considering the price of some festival event for a small portions can be pricey but it isn’t too bad that could get it with chips and other roast dinner bits. I think when you are billed as a touring high profile DJ there’s always a risk of playing out familiar tracks from other artists in the mix. Especially on a line-up with Chase and Status and Rudimental who will be playing pretty much all tracks written, produced and released as their DJing names.   
    • Matt & Mollie I believe (and on the radio occassional studio bits from Jack Saunders, Sam & Danni and Maia Beth).
    • Obvs - Scott 2-4 and Trevor Nelson are also in 82A
    • Who presented Party Anthems on stage?
    • Lots of adverts for Matt and Mollie around the place, alongside the rest of the weekday lineup, but no mention of Dean and/or Vicky. Although I notice those two are doing the photobooth today, as is Danny Beard…
    • Yesterday was excellent pretty much all day. You can tell a lot of work has gone into the festival and the set up was really good. The ground is fine for anyone worried, I wore old trainers and they’re still fine today.    Merchandise is available for some high prices. If you’re going for Longboi merch get it early as they sold out within the first couple of hours.    The photo booth is also good and we met Vick, Katie and Jamie for a few seconds and got a photo. If you’re doing this get there 15-20 minutes before the advertised time as they’re only 30 minute slots. It’s right next to the main stage so you can see everything going on there from the queue anyway. Most of the acts we saw were excellent. Becky Hill and Ella Henderson were brilliant live. Rudimental and Chase and Status were absolutely incredible. Nathan Dawe wasn’t great, played 3 of his own songs then dodgy remixes of Marvin Gaye, Dolly Parton etc. Went to Dimension halfway through which was must better. Saw 15-20 minutes of Eric Prydz which wasn’t really my thing but his staging was excellent.  The DJ sets in between everything were pretty good, especially Matt and Mollie and Charlie Hedges. Sam and Danni were a welcome change as they played indie anthems for a while although I think they may have just been the pre recorded anthems they usually play on weekends (still better than Nathan Dawe). Food was good, but pricey - £15 for my main meal of roast pork, stuffing, chips and Yorkshire pudding. I was surprised they were selling multipacks of Madri and bottles of wine, especially the latter as people were walking around swigging from glass bottles in the middle of the crowd then dumping them on the floor… the rubbish was a mess at the end of the night. Probably one of the best live music events I’ve ever been to, a real credit to the station. 
    • While there were some technical issues (tracks temporarily cutting out, mics not working at first for radio listeners, 'studio team' sometimes jumping in at quite random intervals) Party Anthems on stage seemed to work well and I sort of wonder why they haven't done it before. I guess it depends on when gates open but if gates open around 1/2pm then no excuse not to do it- it's a DJ set which they have loads of across the weekend and acts as a warm-up so the crowd are hot for the first main act.
    • They mentioned on air that it's before Joel Corry's set.
    • When is the set for Greg and Tom? I’m having trouble getting on to Insta and Google is not helping.
    • Jess Iszatt is in for Jack on Monday 27th May.
    • The two larger studios either side of the Live Lounge are 82A (aka 82Mills) and 82D.  The 4 smaller ones nearby are 82B, C, E & F.  The brand new ones are nearby on the 8th floor and are 82K, L, M & N.  All of the London-based R2 and 6M shows are coming from the 8th floor, some in the new studios and some in the original ones.  Obviously there are a lot of shows that come from elsewhere in the country such as Birmingham, Salford and Cardiff, but any in London come from the 8th floor.   In terms of R1 at the moment:   82A - Greg James, Danny Howard, Jeremiah Asiamah 82B - Early Breakfast Mon-Fri, Dan P Carter, Sarah Story, Charlie Tee 82D - RMC, Going Home, Future Artists, Future Pop, Rave Up, 13.00-16.00 Fri-Sun 82E - Official Chart, Chillest Show 82F - Dance Anthems, Kenny Allstar, Indie Show 82N - New Music Show Salford - Dean & Vicky, Danny Beard, Nat O'Leary, Life Hacks Cardiff - Sam & Danni
