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.

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

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

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. :)

    • Richie Anderson in for Rylan tomorrow.
    • Mylo and Rosie said at the end of their show today that they would also be on Early Breakfast on Thursday 24th July (even though the schedule still says Dean)
    • James is in for Dean from Monday 11th to Thursday 14th August. Dean is in for Greg from Monday 11th to Friday 15th August. Jaguar is in for Sarah on Friday 15th August.
    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • 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
