Knockhill was a bit of a mixed bag really, Saturday afternoon it was fairly pish and I called it a day a bit before I wanted to. Sunday was a lot better, apart from a very breif shower it was mainly a lot of sunny spells.

Viv, Knockhill is a racing circuit in the countryside not far from Dunfermline.

5Live tennis coverage tonight is annoying me, mainly for overrunning and knocking out something I WANT to hear when they could have had this on the Sports Xtra channel, but also because over half of the time they're not even talking about the Murray match that's happening LIVE that they're SUPPOSED to be commentating on...

Was meeting with family pm. So cousin arranges to pick me up in a car park. thing is, he has no sense to beep or get out the car. so, over the phone, i announce i am away elsewhere on a bus. Thing is, i miss the bus, and find him resulting in a big fight, and this loon YELLING my name to half the town. he dropped me off at the pool and i had a GREAT time on the kids' slides. cousin STILL not talking to me, but his partner is.

She's battled with laminitis now for over a year, she was getting better in April but then suddenly took another turn for the worse. It was finally determined that nothing more could be done for her and she wouldn't ever not be in pain so the decision was made. My friend can't stop crying now though and had to take the week off of work :cry:

My card got eaten by a cash machine earlier. Normally it wouldn't be so bad, but I was on my way to a really geeky night out. And also I just lost my shit over in the radio one forums. Sorry to those offended, I'd normally keep it to myself, but yeah, not tonight clearly.

Today was an odd day. Nice and sunny so you would assume you would have a great day. went cycling and turned round a wall, only to run into a herd of cows. Mass panic ensued, resulting in one cow jumping a barbed wire fence to get away from me. I never knew cows could jump fences.

So... I needed new trainers, because I burst the last ones out cycling... So, decided to get some, and keep them on. had a "genius" idea of scraping off the bar codes to hand to the sales gal... Only thing, managed to get the bar code stickers stuck to the floor of the shop. So... Had to tell the sales gal who wasn't very pleased and had to go to the back storeroom to find out what the codes were. so, finally left to bin the old trainers, managing to overturn the bin, filling the street with rubbish. so tired and grumpy tonight.

    • 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.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
    • Clara was always a decent, competent and even good music radio presenter. But equally, she never provoked really strong emotions in me that I must listen or must switch off.
    • Jamie is definitely very divisive though.  Some people's "radio comedy gold" is other people's "unlistenable".  I have liked Matt and Mollie, Matt on his own, Mollie and Jordan etc etc.  But couldn't listen to Matt with Jamie. No hate on Jamie but I just don't like his sense of humour.
    • The dynamics of this are interesting.  Jordan works best with people he knows and he already knows Chris and Sian so from day one it should sound fairly natural.  
    • Have an amazing birthday Scott!  Looking forward to Tuesday! 
    • This has to be a joke right. This is so Scott Mills 🤣
