Brits 2012 !!

What's the matter with Coldplay?!

They're beyond dreary and exceptionally over rated. They had a couple good songs and were given a status as hugely respectable musicians which is frankly undeserved.

Put it this way, if I'm ever in a coma and they get played within eat shot it'll be game over.

Not impressed with censorship

And Arctic Monkeys or Chase & Status should've won Best British Band.

Not sure how likely that would have been considering the award was voted for by Radio 2 listeners...

And whose dumbass idea was it to give the Brits statuettes that horrible paint job?

So save the last dance

I am sorry I missed all the drama over Adele. Was really too ill to watch the Brits last night. Apparently she flicked the "V's" to management... Sorry I missed Blur - apparently one of the Band is a cheese maker these days. How the mighty have fallen.

Saw Florence - decided I really couldn't take any more - switched off - never did make the "on" switch again.

Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !!

Funnily enough, I also switched off the second Florence disappeared... (after spotting that James Corden was involved too) and it sounds like I didn't miss much, and that these awards were bankrolled by Simon Cowell and the Record Industry Mafia (sic) this year.

Not really 'fallen' seeing as they had a really successful career, and are now performing at the closing cermony of the Olympics.... And he lives on a farm and has animals and stuff, I thought you'd like that Viv.

James Corden having to apologize again is just deft as it wasn't his choice to stop Adele but the people talking in his ear. But at least it's making people talk about the Brits (which is what I expect the Brit suits are saying).

Coldplay have some good songs and then some far far to overplayed bad ones. I really don't like Charlie Brown, my fave has to be clocks still and I relate that song to Kurt Angle (WWE wrestling)

Eh? Sorry, I fail to see the Clocks connection to Kurt Angle? Don't remember Medal or any of his other entrance themes sounding like it, did they use it in some sort of tribute Montage (Which also doesn't make sense as he's alive, well, and training to go to London 2012).

So wait, returning briefly on topic if I may: James Corden insulted the LEGENDARY actor Patrick Stewart and didn't have to say squat, but he has to apologise for someone else doing something in a moment where they were rightfully frustrated? How the fook does that work?

    • 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.
