Reading Festival in a week's time. Cannot wait to see Rage Against The Machine; absolutely buzzing in anticipation. One of my favourite bands ever, and I'm counting on Radio One to get me in the mood (they won't - they'll play lots of The Killers, just to royally p--- me off). Plus, Metallica, Slipknot, Tenacious D, Avenged Sevenfold, etc. God looked down on me this year and created Reading's line-up to show me just how much he really loves me.

My mum won tickets to go to Carlisle Live and gave them to me and I have swiftly given them away as somehow I don't think the line up of Boyzone, Mcfly, The Hoosiers and others appeals to me somehow. In fact stabbing me both in both eyes would be preferred to that drivel.

I read somewhere Rage don't like the BBC so I shouldnt expect much from them tbh

Just bought tickets to see The Charlatans for the 11th time! Also the 2nd time this year, yipeeee!:woohoo:

The gig is in October and they are playing Paisley town hall.....unusual venue but handy for me!

I love The Charlatans! There's some photos of Tim Burgess in the new NME! Kasabian tomorrow ;)

Oh!! I need to buy it, thanks!

Kasabian sounds like a good one, I haven't seen them before.

Or maybe it was the one picture...I'll go and look now. Kasabian are really good live, I saw them three years ago at Leeds Festival when they were famous, but not that famous!

Edit: Double page spread in NME; pages 28-29! It's the one with Matt Bellamy from Muse on the front cover :D

So far have tickets for:

Little Man Tate (3rd time)

The Hold Steady (3rd time)

Less Than Jake

Death Cab for Cutie

Stereophonics

It's going to be a good term (albeit an expensive one) but as I didn't go to any festivals this summer I can justify it...

Oooh, you missed a show and a half, Seb! I'd forgotten how good a venue the Sands Centre is. Kasabian were really good, a lot better than when I first saw them three years ago :D

I went to see Maximo Park in Edinburgh last night. They had loads of sound issues to start with and a couple of guitar / amp issues during a couple of their songs but overall they were very good!

However every tall person in Edinburgh was actually at the Corn Excahnge and were all stood in front of me!!! Being 5'3" has never bothered me, till last night!!! ;)

    • I must admit a broad smile to myself when I got in the car just after 1pm today and realised I'd timed it perfectly to avoid Danny! Just listened back to that earlier link, just horrific and what's worse is that Danny doesn't seem to have improved even vaguely since the first show. As Greg20 said, the show is being driven by a producer which makes the mess even less excusable.
    • The shows surely being driven for him so all he has to do is talk between the tracks and he can’t get even get that right 
    • I thought the same to that comment, the license fee is going on me babes 
    • What with Jamie Laing, now him. Is it time for a new Head of the station?
    • He also just said coming up we have brand new segment, I thought they were a band 🤣 how did this man get on Radio 1? Aled needs his head testing. It’s an insult people who deserve to be on the radio 
    • Of all the times not mention capital it's probably now? Jordan is flying on breakfast with chris & sian and there's a presenter on friday and saturday that doesn't know who a main r1 artist, tldp are. Mentions capital which surely has to be a big no no given recent events and then says the licence fee goes to me. Talk about vom. We can't have it on here no more as it's that unlistenable and I'm about to switch back for m&m, but this is a Maya Jama x50 level mess of a show. Forget fading the microphone down, the entire show needs fading down
    • As positives go, at least Danny said what the last song played was and upcoming song played was. Plus I guess in that link are perhaps ideas for content (asking listeners to come up with bands from things around them, things that have happened to them this week). That's where's the positives end. It comes across as no thought has gone into what Danny will say next. It gives me proper flashbacks to some Jamie Laing links (especially that one show where he was unexpectedly solo). It's ironic that for all the duos and trios on the station - the one show and DJ that is positively crying out for another DJ to help show them the ropes is left all solo. At least with Jamie Laing they learnt their lesson and he's not been left solo since.
    • How he was just faded out at the end of the link reminded me of the Oscars music fading you out 
    • RPReplay_Final1713612277.mp4   You’re welcome
    • At a time when Radio 1 has surely lost listeners to Capital at Breaktast you’d be trying to protect the station so people switch back.  Certainly yesterday I didn’t switch back to Radio 1 at all.
    • Was abysmal…Surely Danny can’t be a contender for anything permanent when the new schedules are locked in I.e Matt and Mollies slot 
    • Alexandra Burke creating the phrase 'Elephant In The Room' whooooooooo
    • Zane Versus.... Whooooooooo. Do You Do Fridays? WhooOOOooo.  
    • The Capital Breakfast show is right up my street so far - such a fun listen. You've both been great on Radio 1 and are sounding excellent again on Capital A few quickfire questions: You've both been part of some great pairings on radio and on podcast - what goes into making a duo or trio work and sound great on air? Also, Chris - were there ever any discussions about you moving over to Radio 2 with Scott or had the Global offer already come first? Also how do you both go about managing that split between your radio 'you' and the private 'you'? You share a lot on air but also there's some understandably some stuff you keep private (famously Jordan doesn't 'talk about those things'). And how do you make sure if you're having a miserable day or are a bit low that it doesn't come across too much on air?    
    • What a nightmare link at 11.15am this morning. Spent 30 seconds waffling about the name of The Last Dinner Party as if he’d never heard it before, then started mentioning Capital and the license fee, and how it’s been used to pay for him to be there, and was then cut off by the start of the next song.
