Random points that need to be considered today...

There's some crap out this week to download. The best I could find is a cover of Romeo and Juliet by The Killers at Abbey Road. The Editors new album. And Jack Penate.

Andy Murray is out of Wimbledon. Now when Scott cut his hair, I thought it was going to be all on display for everyone to see. Ever since that day, it seems Scott's bad luck has rubbed off on to Andy Murray.

Aaaand, Westwood said he wouldn't pimp Scott's car as he's a Radio 1 DJ and isn't famous enough. He's looking for stars like Madonna to pimp their cars. Now this morning the papers report Westwood wants to pimp... Moyles' car!

Haha, I know the feeling, they ended up showing the entire Killers set on the Saturday night show on BBC2. Not that I'm complaining 'cos they were ace, but it would have been nice to see a few other acts.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

Is Edith back today then? No Nihal? I quite enjoy his enthusiasm, it's like letting a dog out of the cage after weeks of being locked up.

I like that Nihal knows little about movies. Once Edith talks movies I'm lost. Although I have convinced myself to go see Shrek 3 this week.

Hey everyone. I will actually be here for a show which i havn't been able to do for months. How are we all? I'm hoping the sbhow will take my mind off things as my mums just come out of h9ospital and should still be in there by the state of her. But anyway i'm looking forward to todays show.

Urrm she's got a urine and kidney infection. Basically green stuffs comming out from both ends pretty regually. The kidney one could have killed her if she hadn't had treatment. She was supposed to stay in till tuesday but our local hospital so useless they have no beds and she would have been transfered to a hospital miles away if she hadn't come home.

    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
