myspace used to be first choice. i created a facebook account 2 years ago but never logged into it or anything. now all i get on myspace is bands adding me who i'm not interested in and nobody i know is on there anymore.

on facebook i get people who add me who i haven't seen in years. actual people who i know in my life instead of spammers and bands from new york who want me to come and see them. i've been thinking about deleting it but it's causing no harm, so i just log in from day to day.

I only stayed on it to keep Ellie happy.

you smooth operator.

on the grid.

I haven't been on MySpace in ages. I'm still there, but I never use it.

:yeahthat:

I was going to delete it but I still log in to nosey at my friends occasionally. Maybe that'll be my NY resolution.

And that. It's always fun seeing what they're up to. I want to delete my Bebo as I never go on that either, but there's really old friends on there who I also like noseying at. One day I will pluck up the courage to delete them both!

The only reason I keep my profile active these days is so I can find out what my favourite bands are up to as their official websites are never quite as up-to-date. But I haven't messaged or added anyone or posted a bulletin in weeks, I much prefer Facebook.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

I have one, like everyone else, I hardly use it. You know what's the problem these days? People put in thousands to advertise by hiring people to advertise on Myspace for them, there's too many flaws in the system and they keep trying to fix it, but people keep opening it back up. Little Indie bands are trying to get labels to sign them and they use these applications that send fake hits and listeners to their accounts to make it look that more people listen to them more than lets say Madonna or the Foo Fighters. I've only seen one or two incidents on Facebook, but it's certainly going to get a lot worse in the next year or so, there's not really a way to stop it.

I think if Facebook ever decided to go in the music route, Myspace will be history. It's the only thing keeping them alive these days. The big bands are happy because it keeps them from having to buy a ton of space to hold it, as well as the need to hire a developer to make sure no one can steal their work without purchase, and it leave their fans to do the promoting for them by placing their track on their profile.

      Summer on Radio 1

      By DC · Posted

      I think they should just bring that back as was. It's been nearly 20 years, so do it with a whole bunch of new DJ's.

      I think this year has taught us we know nothing 🙂 Nobody would ever have credibly predicted Jordan leaving and all the changes that followed.   I have another interest outside radio and it is exactly the same - the stuff you never expect to happen is exactly what does.

      Yeah they make the weekend shifts go so much quicker. Like today, the piece about Matt falling asleep in the cafe was funny, it's clear to see why they're going to weekdays. It could well be they were thinking of Danny for it and like you say have decided against that, or like I said at the start it's James Cusack and the slow down on the announcement is him getting out of his contract. Remember he works for radio 1's main rivals. I think it's quite telling that he's doing more r1 cover than usual, tomorrow and then a further 3 weekend shows in a row

      I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?

      Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.

      And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury

      When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.

      Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml

      I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury

      I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.

      Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then?

      But they said the main changes would happen in July.
