9.12 - Channel 5 eh. What trash. Oh dear has scott degraded himself to catherine tate pranks. What a f**king liberty.

9.14 - There's something that annoys me. People reading books on the way to work or uni. You love it so much you can't put it down. What a geek.

9.16 - Time to go into hospital. Don't think they'd be chuffed leaving this on.

9.57 - Got the all clear for my heart! Back listening to the show and off to asda

Word on the street is that tomorrow's show features bad dress senses, so any one you know who's got a bad dress sense in your family or friends? Someone you'd not want to see dead with out and about?

Bad as in awful or bad as in different?

I like to go out messy and unmatched. I dont know whether thats bad, different, or good.

I know a girl in school though who wears corsets as daily clothing, that cant be comfortable! :confused:

Bad as in different my friend probably get's it hands down. She's going through a punk phase, so she's got the patched jeans, studded her own belts, customising practally everything she has with material and stud, and then got her hair shaved into a mohawk and has so far had it 4 different colour combonations. Not bad but definatly different for around here :)

But I'm not convinced and your hopeless hearts won't stick. For the first time I know, this is now who I am.

My dad wears socks and sandals when he's going out quickly. If I catch him I will sit infront of the door until he changes. Same goes for his awful grandad jackets and clothes that even Laurence Lewllyn Bowen would call too camp. Oh and this bloody awful hat that makes me want to cry, it's just so wrong. So I hid it.

Aha that sounds bad Jono, my mum wears the opposite to anything fashionable jeans-wise. Her current favourite are a black pair that cover her stomach. Teamed with an equally awful frumpy black top, it really is just..awful, it's the only actual word to describe it.

I can't think of many DILF/FIFLs really. Other than Richard Jones.

I have a friend who favours clothes that should only be worn by three year old chavs, if that. Her favourite hoody is a bright pink one with a huge monkey face on. Teamed with tracksuit bottoms. Needless to say I never see her out of school.

    • 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.
