Everyones Favorite Song?

I agree DC an amazing song. It is really hard I love too many songs :)

yeah, as i said before it's difficult to name just one. it really depends what you feel you want to listen to at a particular time as well.

you have to be in a certain mood to listen to this i guess:-

but i always liked kosheen in the early 2000's. even their upbeat stuff like 'catch', and the john creamer and stephane k mix of 'hide u'.

i also heard reggie yates play this on the request show last saturday (probably one of my more favearable daytime radio 1 shows right now):-

last time i heard that was about 7 to 8 years prior to when he played it.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about the Avalanches... and Lemon Jelly as well come to think of it. How stupid of me. :confused: In that case I'm adding the following songs to my list:

The Avalanches - Since I Left You, Frontier Psychiatrist, Two Hearts in 3/4 Time, Electricity

Lemon Jelly - In The Bath, The Staunton Lick, His Majesty King Raam, Nice Weather For Ducks, Spacewalk

The Avalanches album in particular is fantastic, it's a great album to listen to on a hot summer's day. Such a shame that as of yet no follow-up has been released.

Just for the benefit of those who haven't seen the unforgettable video for Frontier Psychiatrist I'll post it below:

# all the ducks are swimming in the water!! #

anyway, this track reminds me of the end of year 11, it was always in my head before we broke up for our gcse exams in 2004:-

and this track reminds me of mark and lard, or their last year on radio 1 to be more accurate. when they first played it in 2003 (was their record of the week) at some point me and my dad were in north wales, and i remember him saying it reminded him of an old cat stevens song called 'father and son':-

i like both tracks, but they kind of make me sad in a way. they reminds me of days long gone, and times i can never relive. there's still good times now, but i doubt i'll look back in 10 years and look upon things currently, as i do with the times related to the songs i posted above.

if we're going into the dance music, then i'll have to post this:-

i remember judge jules playing this a few years ago. and it stuck with me ever since, one of my all time faves considering it's a dub too.

bit of a thread revival.

i like multiple kings of leon tracks but these two are probably my favorites.

<iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_82646ziq68" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

plus rob dougan's 'clubbed to death', a track radio 1 have used for music beds sometimes over the last 10 years or so

<iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/guM5wAkMQO0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

finally, bran van 3000's 'drinking in la'. reminds me of feeling nervous about starting year 7 for some incredibly strange reason, but i like the song. and was reminded of it when greg james played it not long ago.

and so many TV and movie soundtracks (I think the first might have been The Matrix) that it's actually become a cliche worthy of note during a Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe episode. :)

    • Fair play to Jordan north who’s got himself to 5th least distracting, but Greg has managed 8th MOST distracting, and Rickie who is 12th most distracting.
    • 29th April has Alyx Holcombe in for Daniel P Carter on the Rock show and Nels Hylton in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monday 6th May (May Day Bank Holiday) schedules are completely different. Looks like it's a Countdown to Radio 1's Big Weekend day. Changed timeslots in the morning as well with no presenters listed. 6am-10am (Breakfast slot changed from 7am-10:30am) 10am-1pm (Mid morning/early afternoon slot changed from 10:30-12:45pm) 1pm-3:30pm (As normal) 3:30pm-6pm (No Newsbeat) 6pm-8pm (Replaces New Music Show) Rest of evening schedule as normal.
    • What does that even mean? 😂
    • Not sure what it really means, but Scott Mills is one of the least distracting DJs according to new research. https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-13283609/Most-distracting-radio-podcast-hosts-driving-revealed-Mark-Wright-Chris-Evans-list.html It says Radio 1 though, which is not only inaccurate, but also I can only imagine it applying to his Radio 2 show. How many sounds effects did he used to play on Radio 1, ha.
    • I would rather do the new music show than the breakfast show early starts, being cheery and entertaining isn’t my vibe and being hip and on trend. With new music it’s a different kettle of fish that could get my teeth into and enjoy researching and planning of the show and coming up with ideas and making my mark in away that I don’t think I have the ideas for a breakfast. I don’t see how it could be alienating but I enjoy the niche and speciality of expertise that new music shows gives it’s good spot of giving you the headlines and setting the agenda of mainstream music.
    • Absolutely, Jack is such an incredible broadcaster already, incredibly entertaining with such brilliant music knowledge and his excitement is contagious, I've never really listened to New Music Shows like Future Sounds but I'm instantly invested in new music due to his show, as I'm sure many others are too.  yes the effects are a little strange but after listening back they're strangely charming when you get used to them. 
    • Jack has smashed it He was born for this show, he said he’d been dreaming of it and you could tell. Such passion and energy as always with Jack but in a show that can grab people’s attention and drag them down the rabbit hole of new music if you had a keen interest in discovering new music but haven’t in a while, new music shows can be alienating with no familiarity until you ‘get into it’ - the new show has ensured you can ease into to get back into sync . i love the Zane influences - he will be the forefront of where every emerging and returning artist wants to be with this show . Very excited for this chapter
    • Oh I though they were nbh studios   
    • Yes, I feel that unless it’s for a special sessions with a large ensemble band that for live sessions going out live on the radio. Never saw why they haven’t used the live lounge studio and feel that room could be used more.  
    • Interesting now Zane has for apple interviewed anything from an artists that have charted and doing less interviews with new and emerging talents chatting to Shakira, Usher, Kelly Clarkson and Shania Twain. Yes, that is a positive thing about Jack Saunders. Although I don’t mind it from time to time for a presenter to be honest and spill an unsavoury opinion about music on the station like Annie did with Fall Out Boy.
    • Interesting Jack mentioned they've got new studios at Maida Vale; you'd think, with the move to Stratford, they wouldn't bother update the studios so close to the end...
    • I assume it's meant to appeal to a TikTok generation
    • Yep Jack is very much Radio 1's modern day Zane Lowe - but with the bonus that he does feel a bit a bit more open-minded and open to chart stuff than Zane was. I could never imagine Zane being a chart host the way Jack is - I always had the sense if Zane didn't approve of your music taste he'd make you well aware of it.
    • I will still call them sessions as feel with gigs it makes you think of a live tangible means of going to listen to a band play music and not virtually tuning in via the medium of radio.
