Eddie from Art Brut was quite insistant that we should all start bands. The indie scene is already flooded though. I think I'll keep on with the degree....

I went to see Art Brut once. I didnt know much about them when i went, but i was suitably blown away! Yeah, i think hes always quite insistant lol. I was actually convinced myself that i would start a band.

I liked how when he played Emily Kane, he made a joke about Jay-Z's 'misogenistic language' but said he'd got over Emily Kane now and advised everyone to let go of their exes.

I'm listening to Maximo Park now. Bits of all their songs have been in my head all day and I can't stop listening to their albums.

Hah, sounds familiar. Its almost as if his gigs are scripted! ;)

I'm sure some of you have seen Maximo Park live, what are they like? I'm off to see them tonight.

One word: Amazing! :D

See post number 248 up there. Hope you enjoy it Jono, I'm very jealous... I want to go again. Be warned though, the first support act WILL hurt your ears!

I feel a bit cheated, I swear the speakers or something was broken, and it was just muffled. Mind you I wasn't far from the speaker, but I've been to many gigs and it's come out clearer then that. I will investigate.

Bar that though it was good. I was centre-front, but during the support (who everyone seemed to know bar me!) I felt so small and had to make a break for it to the side. And got a perfect view :D

Hehe, I did that at Fratellis and got a perfect view too. Plus, I didn't get crushed, or break any bones like I might've done if I'd stayed where I was before.

:( I feel sorry for you now. Things do sound differently depending on where you stand though, so it could've just been that. Did anyone else notice?

Was there only one support act? Not that you missed out on much with the first one...

No there were two. One I can't remember the name of, but they didn't sing at all. I've asked on the UEA forum whether it was just me, but I'm sure it wasn't as everyone in the area I stood either didn't know the lyrics or just couldn't hear the lyrics!

The sound was really clear where I was when I saw them. Apart from the stupid bimbo in front of me who insisted on smoking the whole way through and dancing her deranged dance while nearly setting everyone around her on fire, it was really good. You don't know Art Brut Jono? I have heard their album a few times and I knew a few songs quite well but I seemed to be in the middle of the Art Brut fan club at that point, so I felt slightly left out not knowing all the words to every song.

When I saw The Automatic and the Mystery Jets, we were right up the front on the barriers but just in front of the amps, and it sounded all weird and distorted. The Mystery Jets sound effects were just painful. It's better not to be too near the amps.

I AM DEFINATELY GOING TO READING FESTIVAL FOR ALL 3 DAYS - GET IN!!!

And i'm camping there, even though i live like 15 mins away by train. Although that's more down to the fact the the last trains to Newbury are at 11:00pm because First Great Western are crap.

Does anyone know where i can get hold of a cheap tent with 2 "bedrooms"?

>> I'm on here every now and again... <<

    • 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.
