Haha his mum listens to Steps. My parents just play Radio 4 in their car, then again, they don't tend to pick me up places either. My parents are able to embarrass me just by being themselves. My housemates and I have set up a system so that our parents miss each other's parents by at least a day.

Anything by Cascada would scare the hell out of me.

I hate Cascada! Seriously, "Everytime we touch" has just been overplayed in Germany, in my opinion! Anyway, it wasn't good in the first place either, but you know... if you only hear a song once, it's okay..

My best friend wants me to go to a Cascada gig in like two weeks at the UEA. I thought tickets were about £8. But they're £17.50. I can go see a decent band for about £13 at the UEA!

I wouldn't pay £17.50 for Cascada...

The Bad Touch by the Bloodhound Gang would be quite weird for your mum to turn up playing. I was a bit embarrassed when Vernon played it on his show one morning just as my mum walked in the room, but I don't think my mum listens to the lyrics of my music, it's all noise to her.

She also wants me to go to see Scouting For Girls at a Fresher's Ball. I don't think I want to see them twice in one week.

Lordy, I hope Phil Mitchell isn't in. Is he bringing his lap dancers?

lol, you should come to my Freshers Ball - I get to see B*witched :D:P:p

Haha are they still going?!

I got to see the Mystery Jets and The Automatic last year, wasn't too bad except 95% of the crowd knew nothing by the Mystery Jets and only Monster by The Automatic. I don't know what the freshers get to see this year, they don't reveal it till the middle of freshers week.

What university are you off to Bex, that sounds amazin'.

Oh I'm feeling old now, damn Radio 1 and their new pre-teens strategy. "Josh is 14, what songs are funny to hear when your mum picks you up from school?" I don't know, a lot of us don't go anymore...

    • I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right! 
    • Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!
    • Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.
    • If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.
    • The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!
    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
