I'm currently obsessed with The Last Shadow Puppets! That song is brilliant!

I have a question for the "more knowledgeable generation". Do you think that the original "Toca's Miracle", made in 2000 (I think), is much better than the 08 version?

Time to revive this Thread again.

Has anybody heard the new Pendulum album! It's amazing, seriously amazing. I like that it's a bit more vocal than the previous album!

Pendulum are just amazing full stop.

The album was released today wasnt it? I like one of the tracks they played on the radio last week, midnight runner? Something like that.

I think we must be listening to different album as I found to be a bit generic and just all over the place musically. Its as if they weren't sure what they wanted it to be. Not a patch on hold your colour or there older stuff. Good djs though maybe the next one will be back on form

I'm obsessing with Muse again.

I'm obsessed with Muse 24/7, so don't feel ashamed by it! What did you think of H.A.A.R.P? Did you see them at Wembley?

It was released yesterday. I love Midnight Runner! I'm seeing them this Saturday at Brixton Academy, shall be awesome :-D

Really?! Each to their own I guess, there is not a single song on the album which I don't like, I love it!

Im listening to the Pendulum album right now!

Woo! What do you think?

Really want the DVD!

Awesome! Did you go on the Saturday or Sunday? I will always love Stockholm Syndrome live, I've seen Muse live three times now and every time they blow me away!

The sunday. We originally wanted to go on the saturday but the tickets sold out so fast! Was so relieved when they announced the second date. Would have preferred standing tickets though.

Which day did you go?

There's only two of us going on the sunday, I hope the crowd isn't too violent, I still don't fully understand why people mosh to Pendulum anyway.

Just dance or jump! :S

Panic at the disco's newest album. Anyone like it? I love it!

It's okay, but definitely not as good as their first album. With Pretty. Odd. they seem determined to copy the Beatles, and although I love the Beatles, this new music seems forced.

Ah I went on the Saturday! It's a shame that they didn't play Bliss on Sat, I love that song.

I was there on the Saturday too! I was standing, pretty near the front too which was awesome. What was your favourite song they played? I thought Knights of Cydonia was immense, a really good song to start off with.

I'm listening to Searching For The Hows and Whys by Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. It seems like a good album, not all the songs are instantly grabbing me and some of the guitar riffs do sound suspiciously similar to songs on his first album. I think it will grow on me though.

    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • 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).
