Capital Summertime Ball 2024

Gah, this sounds like a rip-off of Boulevard Of Broken Dreams by Green Day... you could sing the words to that over it.

[Jono]

I didn't know Bristol was next to Bath. That's where Barno is. She just messaged me asking why Scott was on about Bath.

[Grace]

Where?

The clip from the weather/news, it was really ridiculously quiet on my radio, maybe it's something to do with DAB?

Aaah, thanks! I was wondering what song it reminded me of.

[Lucinda]

He did describe Scott as 'top Radio 1 DJ' so that's not so bad. I hope Scott gets himself a brolly. If he doesn't though, my dad has a large collection of Evening Standard umbrellas, so they're not that hard to get for free.

I voted for Laura. I'll vote for her every day that I remember to.

[Jono]

My sister walks in and says "this song is old, he's only just playing this?". I love how much of a snob she is about her favourite bands.

Something to do with the clip being mono. It'll mean clock radios didn't hear it either.

Yeah Bath is slightly to the east of Bristol. I'm going to Bristol next week, it's about 10 minutes on the train to get to Bath so I might go there too. Hopefully it won't rain all week.

[Jono]

I wondered why Annie was on the phone earlier. I thought she just couldn't be arsed to pop in to see Laura.

Annie Nightingale in a custard factory at 5am? Gosh, she knows how to enjoy herself.

I'm always like that when they play British music on Danish radio. And when Radio 1 plays Alphabeat.

[Lucinda]

Miami pool party or Gatecrasher Nottingham.... know where I'd rather be!

I've never been to Gatecrasher because it's apparently a bit s*** and it's not my kind of place at all, but my friends have been.

I felt like that when they started playing Hey There Delilah because I've had it for several years.

I had one of those Evening Standard ones - some impecunious musician or their friend stole it at a gig. I know it was a musician or friend because it was one of those gigs where the unknown bands and their friends are the only ones present.

Had to get soaked walking back into Reading grrr. :x

[Jono]

By the way... Scott's on breakfast on Monday, so we won't be doing Your Views. It's alright when people are up for it, but people will be at work, school, college or university. So I ask that if you're on board that you make a thread about something that takes your interest.

[Behelzebub]

Ooooh, Livin' Joy, good choice to start off with...

Is he on breakfast for two weeks? I won't be listening then, next week I'm working and after that I have to go to school again.

[popbitcher]

so hold on. chappers didn't know it was scott's birthday. that's harsh!

[Jono]

I'm off for some tea to enjoy the Wonder Years. Out of everything you could have in the miserable weather, it's salad... Woo... x

[Monitorabbit]

I hope Scott's flatmate got hime something nice - a new trampette maybe? Some lens cloths for his telescope?

My dad gives them away to refugees sometimes. That's just my dad though, sometimes he comes home wet because he gave away his umbrella to a homeless person.

No University at the moment, but I'll be in bed so unable to listen to Scott in the morning, as I have difficulty getting up before 10am.

[Behelzebub]

Hmmmm, interesting choice........ (it's Peaches by Presidents Of The USA for anyone who doesn't recognise it)

[Behelzebub]

Ahahahaha, I really shouldn't love this song... :oops:

[dstrkzn]

I heard that about a week ago.

[Kelly]

THE BACKSTREET BOYS!

I HAVE SO TURNED THIS UP.

FOR THE ACTUAL WIN.

Your dad sounds a truly caring person, I can't be so saintly I'm afraid.

I always listen to breakfast, might make a thread if something makes me laugh or gasp.

Loving what I can hear of the Wonder Years at the moment.

Sadly it's not that long since I last heard this. It's a favourite of student club nights. While I have managed to not go to the kind of clubs that play it for a while, it's been played in bars as well and it's played every time I go to one of the mainstream student club nights. Just makes me think of my housemate's cringeworthy dancing.
