Kooks have just announced a new tour. Tickets on sale tomorrow. Bit of a gamble beings I've not heard their new music, nor do I really want to see them again at the moment.

I didn't want to ask about listening figures. It's like asking your gran is or something, she could be dead.

Not too good. The Welsh also expect you to speak Welsh too. Phlegmy-sounding language!

Well it depends which part of Wales you're in.

In Newport only 1% of the population speak it fluently and they're welsh teachers.

Oooo Blink 182, nice one Scott.

And that guy's accent was horrible,

People don't show pant these days do they. Rather than showing your arse off they seem to have their pants half way up their back now.

Well, Germany is a bit behind then. Most boys show their arse off here...

I know what Scott means. I was catching up with a friend from school the other day on MSN who was the 'darkest girl' at school. Goth clothing, loved her Rammstein and whatever, and was always making devil signs on her text books.

She still is like that. But what was she playing on her computer? Call The Shots by Girls Aloud! Maybe it was just at home she's a closet pop fan.

I love pop, and I'm not afraid to admit it!

We listen to Radio 1 though. You've got to. Let's be honest though, before all these kids became emos, chavs and rockers they had to have heard pop songs.

They had to have brought Aqua's Barbie Girl and The Cartoons' Witch Doctor. Which is probably why a lot of them listen to retro pop. Brings them back to happy memories! You can't get rid of that.

I guess it's equally the same as someone awfully camp person having Rammstein or something heavy that Daniel P Cater plays on their iPod!

Haha, what a biatch. Andy B just compared me to Aled!

I love Sheila! I imagine all Sheila's to be a bit like that. In fact all women like that are worth a laugh. Like when me and Callum first discovered Sue Marchant years ago and he kept texting her about his chickens.

I like the fact Koop FM appears to be returning to the airwaves by having a playlist about fire!

"Join the inimitable hosts of KOOP's live music revue, Now Playing Austin, this Wednesday, January 30th from 5:00 - 8:00 p.m. as they celebrate KOOP's return to the airwaves by mixing drinks and playing songs about fire, Fire, FIRE!"

Now is that really wise and tactful? :D

    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
    • Some similar names to Big Weekend.  Sabrina Carpenter, David Guetta, Perrie, Bradley Simpson, Jax Jones, Caity Baser, Benson Boone, Rudimental. David Guetta is a good name. 
    • Still Scott for me. I'm not too much into the 70s and 80s radio 2 play but do love the injection of 90s and 00s. Then Radio 2 push for all this country stuff and it not a UK thing, and I frankly don't like it. Scott's show as in features, hit and miss. I like the music police bit, but it feels like someone needs to join him. It's a shame Chappers is so busy with sports, as it feels like it could do with someone like him jumping on to help. Or a new partner. Radio 1, take or leave. Matt and Mollie are OK from what I've heard and share a good connection, but it's the playlist that throws me off. They could bring back Chris Moyles to do that show, but as soon as something like Headie One comes on with that casino keyboard produced crap. It would still be switched off from me. 
    • Reading through this thread, I don't feel quite so alone now, in thinking that Scott Mills on R2 is not a good 'fit' (even less so than on R5).  I can't quite explain why this is so - I just know it to be so.
    • Arielle has been on holiday for the last 2 weeks getting married / honeymoon.  It'll be live from this week onwards.
    • CassKidd is in for Sian on Sunday 5th May.
    • The brought to tiers feature was also very good from them. I did wonder which DJ's were going to get picked out of the hat, that could have gone one way or the other and the caller said they were very opinionated lol. Correct decision putting katie in god tier!
    • The extended Dua Lipa track from M&M was very funny. I'm hoping Matt and Mollie and Scott have a good relationship a bit like Greg and Zoe collaborate on-air sometimes.
    • Gary Davies in for Vernon Kay tomorrow (Monday 29th April).
    • When Scott and Chris announced their departure from R1, I remember there was lots of speculation about who would take over the 1pm slot. Matt and Mollie were talked about a lot on here, and at the time I really didn't rate them as a replacement. A few years on, I see that I was totally wrong. They are such a good pairing, and it's the same kind of duo as Scott and Chris, in that they are real life friends, who spend time together in their real lives, which really does come across on air. True friends having a laugh together, and everyone is invited is how it feels to me now. I never thought about it before, but I agree with @coffeeandgin that Mollie is the Scott of the duo - pop obsessed and maybe a litte ditsy, but so funny, and in need of someone to anchor to or bounce off.  It seems that Matt is the kind of Chris of the duo then in that comparison, the one with the ideas, but also needs another person to make the magic happen. I know I'm outside of the R1 demographic, and maybe Dean and Vicky were meant to be younger and fresher, but I'm sure in my younger years I would have preferred to listen to two people who had a genuine connection and could really make each other laugh, as well as have the listeners laugh along. That was the Scott and Chris factor for me, and I think the only pair that come close to that now are Matt and Mollie.
