Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[OohErr]

So no handover at 19:00 today. Hope that's just because she spoke to Greg earlier in his show, and not a regular thing. Even though they'll never compare to the Zane handovers, I hope the 19:00 handover continues.

First record: Something I've never heard before. Liked the understated "hi" just before the vocal though, a big difference from "I'll be here for the next two hours AND THE NEXT TEN FREAKING YEARS! ITS 8PM ON RADIO 1 LET'S GO!" from Zane's first show. Next ten years and then some.

Second record: Something else I've never heard before (not that that's a bad thing). Dancy.

Also, tonight, a Hottest Record from Mumford and Sons. Still not convinced on Annie being a non-dance DJ though, but I'm open to convincing on that as I listen to more. To me it feels a bit like everything else is a second love to dance music, I kinda can't see her enthusing about Royal Blood in the same way she might be about, say, a new Eric Prydz record without it being a tad forced. But I'll see I guess.

Not as erm, energetic as Zane shall we say! Like the new sound, I have noticed that the show has got that awful Where It Begins slogan at the start though :/

Hottest Record's on - at 19:20!

I don't know, if you read the interview she done for The Independent her roots are in indie music. Plus her old Sunday night show has always been the antidote to Friday night with a bit of a mixture.

I think she's a great choice to take over Zane, the only one on Radio 1 at the moment that could possibly do it. And she has the advantage of already being a well-known and respected name in the industry.

As for the lack of handover I imagine it was because it was her first show.

And it wouldn't be Unofficial Mills without a mention of the jingles - I love them. Sounds very fresh and not quite as in your face as Zane's (which matched his show perfectly by the way)

[tr15]

I wish every show had different jingles!

Two plays of the Hottest Record. I wonder if that will last.

[OohErr]

Thought the bits around the Hottest Record was a bit underwhelming to be honest - just "okay here it is now" and "that was it", followed by a slightly dull interview with Marcus from the band. At least Mumford and Sons have finally made a record that doesn't sound exactly the same as all of their other ones.

WAAAAAAAA I MISS ZANE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S ACTUALLY GONE!!!!!!!!

[tr15]

Two plays is strange - they used to play it an hour later. Mumford is boring, ain't it?

[OohErr]

Also, didn't Zane always play the Hottest Record twice as well? Sounds like they've dropped the "right now" from the feature name.

[OohErr]

Cynicism aside though, because I do like Annie as a DJ. I just hate change. It's still weird thinking I'll never hear Zane on Radio 1 again.

Anyway, think that's enough excitement for one night, I'm off to the chrismoyles.net archive for Monday 6th March 2006. I've been on a show a weekday since Jan 2013.

[tr15]

The build up to new Mumford was pretty underwhelming, I didn't expect it!

[tr15]

AAAH! I CAN'T GET USED TO IT! I love Annie, but this is so strange

[Jordan12]

I have to say, I'm really enjoying Annie's new show. Yes, it's strange not hearing Zane on the and there may be a few underwhelming moments in tonight's show but she is just finding her feet I guess. I am loving the 'Mellow Monday' feature. I did find the build up to the Hottest Record a bit of a let down but I know it will improve, she is, like many of people have said, is the best DJ for the job.

[OohErr]

So no handover at 7 tonight- it's officially dead.

Unless they're just waiting until she's settled in to start doing them again, to give people a change to forget how amazing the Zane ones were. Maybe the DJ handover's on the hour are just something from an old era of Radio 1 that went with Zane.

[tr15]

It wouldn't work with Annie anyway, though.

[tr15]

Day 3 - NO HANDOVER!

[thegoldenhour]

Every Friday, Greg talks to her at about 20 til 7. Maybe they're sticking with that model.
