Haha there's an advert for Now 69 out next week. I remember the days when I'd buy a NOW album everytime they came out.

I'm not sure why I like Elliot Minor but I do. I like their style.

Haha, Claire on reception is nice. It's funny it only took her five minutes to learn my name.

I don't get it why people would not give one pound through the website. Instead of texting, because if you did it through the website you know that 100% will go to Sport Relief, not like on 64P and that's on the best service. Stupid greedy people.

Yeah can't wait for the surgery this week!

Not every has a credit or debit card. Teenagers are more likely to have lots of credit than money in the bank, and it all counts.

Finally! Flirt Divert! And then the wonder years, must fetch tea for optimum enjoyment of this fine programming.

Haha!! These are great flirt diverts today. You've got to add a couple to the sound clips :D

Estelle and cleaner to top it off, my goodness.

Can't wait for Chappers to return. The only thing that I've laughed out loud at this week has been when Chappers has been on the phone.

Pahaha, some local newspaper reporter just e-mailed me and called me 'Juno'. Not impressed.

I agree...

I wonder what wonder years we'll here today.

I used to buy NOW albums they used to be great, all the best songs in the chart from that time in the year, put into one album.

Scott's timings are poor today. A three minute track at 5pm means the Wonder Years will be late (news still to come!) meaning we'll have to cut a song at the end or 5.45 Newsbeat will be late. Which means the Floor Fillers will start late!

Since I'm normally listening on SKY or Freeview or on my computer or phone with just occasionally in the car, the time is never what it seems - Newsbeat seems always to be late!

If you were the producer I'm sure you'd be very strict, Jono. You'd probably fine Scott, or ground him so he couldn't go to the tanning salon. :D

UM is a nice place

1996: Soul II Soul - Keep On Moving

1997: Beck - The New Pollution (I admit Google helped a bit with that one, I knew it was Beck just didn't know the song!)

1998: All Seeing Eye - And The Beat Goes On

Pffft, Scott spoiled the next one.

1999: Goo Goo Dolls - Iris (they were so good at V! :P)

Does no one play this game anymore?!

    • I don't know about that but somebody's messed up with the dates on the lanyards this year, they're all the wrong date!
    • Is big weekend the only place to get long boi merch? It's sold out! I'd love to have got my hands on some. 
    • Considering the price of some festival event for a small portions can be pricey but it isn’t too bad that could get it with chips and other roast dinner bits. I think when you are billed as a touring high profile DJ there’s always a risk of playing out familiar tracks from other artists in the mix. Especially on a line-up with Chase and Status and Rudimental who will be playing pretty much all tracks written, produced and released as their DJing names.   
    • Matt & Mollie I believe (and on the radio occassional studio bits from Jack Saunders, Sam & Danni and Maia Beth).
    • Obvs - Scott 2-4 and Trevor Nelson are also in 82A
    • Who presented Party Anthems on stage?
    • Lots of adverts for Matt and Mollie around the place, alongside the rest of the weekday lineup, but no mention of Dean and/or Vicky. Although I notice those two are doing the photobooth today, as is Danny Beard…
    • Yesterday was excellent pretty much all day. You can tell a lot of work has gone into the festival and the set up was really good. The ground is fine for anyone worried, I wore old trainers and they’re still fine today.    Merchandise is available for some high prices. If you’re going for Longboi merch get it early as they sold out within the first couple of hours.    The photo booth is also good and we met Vick, Katie and Jamie for a few seconds and got a photo. If you’re doing this get there 15-20 minutes before the advertised time as they’re only 30 minute slots. It’s right next to the main stage so you can see everything going on there from the queue anyway. Most of the acts we saw were excellent. Becky Hill and Ella Henderson were brilliant live. Rudimental and Chase and Status were absolutely incredible. Nathan Dawe wasn’t great, played 3 of his own songs then dodgy remixes of Marvin Gaye, Dolly Parton etc. Went to Dimension halfway through which was must better. Saw 15-20 minutes of Eric Prydz which wasn’t really my thing but his staging was excellent.  The DJ sets in between everything were pretty good, especially Matt and Mollie and Charlie Hedges. Sam and Danni were a welcome change as they played indie anthems for a while although I think they may have just been the pre recorded anthems they usually play on weekends (still better than Nathan Dawe). Food was good, but pricey - £15 for my main meal of roast pork, stuffing, chips and Yorkshire pudding. I was surprised they were selling multipacks of Madri and bottles of wine, especially the latter as people were walking around swigging from glass bottles in the middle of the crowd then dumping them on the floor… the rubbish was a mess at the end of the night. Probably one of the best live music events I’ve ever been to, a real credit to the station. 
    • While there were some technical issues (tracks temporarily cutting out, mics not working at first for radio listeners, 'studio team' sometimes jumping in at quite random intervals) Party Anthems on stage seemed to work well and I sort of wonder why they haven't done it before. I guess it depends on when gates open but if gates open around 1/2pm then no excuse not to do it- it's a DJ set which they have loads of across the weekend and acts as a warm-up so the crowd are hot for the first main act.
    • They mentioned on air that it's before Joel Corry's set.
    • When is the set for Greg and Tom? I’m having trouble getting on to Insta and Google is not helping.
    • Jess Iszatt is in for Jack on Monday 27th May.
    • The two larger studios either side of the Live Lounge are 82A (aka 82Mills) and 82D.  The 4 smaller ones nearby are 82B, C, E & F.  The brand new ones are nearby on the 8th floor and are 82K, L, M & N.  All of the London-based R2 and 6M shows are coming from the 8th floor, some in the new studios and some in the original ones.  Obviously there are a lot of shows that come from elsewhere in the country such as Birmingham, Salford and Cardiff, but any in London come from the 8th floor.   In terms of R1 at the moment:   82A - Greg James, Danny Howard, Jeremiah Asiamah 82B - Early Breakfast Mon-Fri, Dan P Carter, Sarah Story, Charlie Tee 82D - RMC, Going Home, Future Artists, Future Pop, Rave Up, 13.00-16.00 Fri-Sun 82E - Official Chart, Chillest Show 82F - Dance Anthems, Kenny Allstar, Indie Show 82N - New Music Show Salford - Dean & Vicky, Danny Beard, Nat O'Leary, Life Hacks Cardiff - Sam & Danni
