Hmmm, the video to this is summit else! Shame it's the original with the video though. Shame that the only way Shakira could end of the playlist these days is with Beyonce!

Morning all

Morning!

Urgh, Beyonce. Well I don't see it either actually... imagine coming home every night and hearing her singing in the bathroom.

Carboot sales like ebay in a field? Surely that's auctions? I don't think you start low and bid for it with other people! The best bit is during the raining season when it's all muddy.

I've never been to one. Is there still such a thing as a "jumble sale" I wonder...

I bet there is. A bit of bric-a-brack. Which I'm told doesn't involve bricks. Was quite surprised by that. Have a raffle too. Radio 1 should have one, no one will be in today, they could sell off all the spare junk kicking around.

Cheap people.. :D Why anyone would willingly get up at an ungodly hour to walk around a field sifting through at an assortment of other people's crap is far, far beyond me.

Verry true. I think the only time i've been to a car boot sale was with my parents, when i was very young and i didn't have a choice of whether i had to go or not.

Wait a minute, you have IKEA. Up here in Norfolk, we have nothing like that. Carboot sales are the closest to it.

There a studio full of stuff according to the webcam... Where are they?

Next door. It's normal for the camera to be in the wrong place.

Ooh the FA Cup. I can't wait. Do you think Scott can do that thing where they release the balls a bit like the lottery? That'd be worth watching.

Afternoon all!

Afternooon! How's your day been? Having much for tea? Bloody nice weather we're having for 4pm.

Actually we don't. Cornwall isen't nearly as posh to deserve having an IKEA!

If you're too old for IKEA or don't have one, carboot sales are the next best thing for a bank holiday.

If I wanted to go to Ikea I'd have to travel to Bristol or Milton Keynes, so I haven't got any particularly near me.

Apparently you've never lived. May be we should all be going to Homebase or something instead. Might see Neil Morrisey.

Quite like this track now! Only several months after I should have!

John's In New Music We Trust. Also suggesting: the hot bands Status Quo and Queen.

How do i get the site contributor thing underneth my name because i've done it but it hasen't shown up.

You don't get one for donations, haven't decided what I'm doing with that yet. I don't want to confuse moderators with donators.

Are the Arctic Monkeys playing at Tracey Barlow's farewell due?

So seriously, when's the madness starting?! I just flicked over to Richard Allison on Radio 2, and I think he's stolen it ;)

Oh, I have been. My mum drove us up to Bristol, she really shouldn't have bothered, we may aswell have gone the whole hog and gone up to a Norfolk car boot sale.

    • It’s not necessarily the fact that Jamie is posh. It’s that the show seems to be really keen to play on it. Within 10 minutes of their first show they were playing voice notes from his Celeb mates. Compare that to Vick and Jordan’s first week in September 2021; their first links were about Jordan’s awkward encounter with his plumber and Vick slapping a roast chicken.    And then on Monday this week, Jamie is sulking (exaggerated sulking admittedly) about something, this ultimately being that another of his celeb mates has cancelled his appearance on their show, and they’re literally reading out texts such as ‘I’m sure this is going to be relatable to the entire population.’
    • That’s a last minute change!
    • Jordan, Greg, they’re down to earth. That’s what makes them resonate so much with listeners.  
    • It's a bizarre thing though....it would be nice to hear a few more tracks from the past 10 years mixed into daytime. However, at the other extreme, I find it odd how often really old tracks come up on Anthems and even the likes of Soundsystem Party and Dance Anthems.   The odd throwback is great but sometimes it feels too much.
    • I do like Cat Burns but it’s a good point about the many artists on future artists and other specialist shows. If they manage to launch the ‘Anthems’ like sister station hope they make changes to the stations playlist.
    • Some shows do play some songs from pre-2018 regularly. Mainly Matt & Mollie and Radio 1 Breakfast. Also don't forget the shortened Anne-Marie - Ciao Adios which gets played every 26 seconds. 😂
    • I hate reverse snobbery and I post this reluctantly as we shouldn't hold Jamie's background against him, but I do think many listeners will find it hard to identify with Jamie.  One of the things that made Jordan so popular was he sounded like the mate you go for a pint with who always has a great story to tell.
    • Absolutely - life would be dull if we all liked the same things  
    • Dean in for Greg on Tuesday.
    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
