The Ting Tings. Just watched their big weekend performance. Probably one of the most uninspiring bands ever, most songs repeat the same three or 4 words, about 20 times in a row before she changes it a little bit.

Why she insists on pretending to play the guitar is beyond me.

Reh... I've gotta say I wasn't too keen on the big weekend performance. I've only heard not my name on the radio, but it's slightly painful to listen to... Don't really know if I want to watch it now.

Ok... I swear I'm going to revise now.

I quite liked the Ting Tings when I first heard them but now I'm getting really fed up with them, especially with "That's Not My Name" (unless it's the Gabba remix ;)). They don't have very deep or meaningful lyrics either, and that's a huge minus. That's why I'm surprised why people don't get Radiohead :shock: They are brilliant when it comes to lyrics (and music, in my opinion). I think they are up there with Bloc Party, Maximo Park and We Are Scientists but maybe that's just the style of lyrics I like. Especially when it's combined with excellent music.

Speaking of W.A.S. - many people don't get them! Not just their music, but also their humour. Personally I love their sense of humour. And I love Keith. I would.

I would as well.

I didn't really get them until quite recently, I like both their albums now though.

People my age only really know the Radiohead stuff of the Hail To The Thief era. The early stuff (Pablo Honey, The Bends) from the early-mid 90s is the place to start to fully appreciate Radiohead, then work forwards to the present day.

Agreed. And they're ugly.

Meh.. Katie's alright looking. Though, the more I look at her I see she's not as pretty as I found her before. I think it's really after hearing the Big Weekend performance I'm not so keen anymore.

I used to think she was hot, but now I do agree with Chris Moyles (it was Chris who said it, wasn't it?) - you CAN'T actually see her face, ever. She seems quite good looking though, from what you can see.

Looks like ive really set this topic alight, looks like a lot of you dont get Ting Tings. Adding to it, she never shows her face. She was quite hot at the big weekend from the video when she had her hat on, but as soon as her hat comes off, her looks disappear hehe

Magic hat! :woo:

She looks good in the "TNMN" video, but, again, you can't see her face.

Do you think she has a complex?

Yeah, its like a magic hat for ugly people, could be a really marketable product (sorry my business studies hat is still on) I will end this here for fear of taking the topic... off topic:P Another band I dont get is Hadouken... not really properly listened to them but from what I've heard they arent anything special!

I don't get New Young Pony Club. I saw them at Leeds last year and really didn't think they were anything special. The lead singer has terrible dress sense, the keyboard girl looked like a robot and the music was awful. The NME love them though.

      Radio 2 in the Park 2024

      By Radio_12 · Posted

      Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.

      Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).

      Arielle Free's wedding

      By callspy · Posted

      Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.

      Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background.

      They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.

      What's going on with Newsbeat?

      And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.

      I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.

      By wbroom12 · Posted

      From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn

      Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.

      It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore.
