Flo Rida (ahem!!)

Recommended Posts

Scott calls him "Flo" (how brazen!)

What did you all think of yesterday's guest? I found him really dull, and Westwood showing up in the middle of it all somehow made it even WORSE.

Flo Rida took part in OWO, but was boring during that as well. I understand Scott was promised "lots of fun" with this guest, but he certainly didn't deliver. I was glad when he left.

No need to hurry back, eh?! 1/10 from moi!!

PS: The rest of Scott's show was very good yesterday, and I did enjoy the random giggling by Scott & Zane Lowe. :D:D

PPS: Please observe this is a vicious topic for a change, because people keep telling me privately & on the forum that I sound like I'm doing press releases all the time! Observe the difference, people!!!! Mitch3LL will love this!

Turned up to help!! Christ, nothing would have bloody helped. Personally, I didn't find him better when Westwood was there at all.

The giggling was cool. I can record radio shows with my new phone, so I recorded the giggling to make me laugh on a bad day!!

You know, I didn't actually know Flo Rida = Florida!! I only learned that recently from R1.

How is a hydraulic desk a code? Am I missing something?

I don't take to Westwood at all, never have done. One of my least favourite DJ's. :-0 Certainly wouldn't give him ma phone number, I'll tell you that. Can you imagine that voice on the other end of the 'phone. Jesus.

Flo Rida wasn't a very good guest, because he either didn't know what to make of the situation, or he was keeping his kind of keeping his cool image up. It is a bit of a shame they didn't do the Flo Rida spinning around thing, as it would have been hilarious:)

Yeah. I couldn't quite work out what was wrong. Either it was desperation to maintain an image, or would he have been better if he was really familiar with Scott & team. Or is he just one of those people that are just not entertaining when you get them away from performing in front of lots of people? who knows.

Some instinct tells me that "Flo Rida spinning around" thing would not have been appreciated, had it been attempted.

Yeah, I agree that it might have been a combination of those points. I don't think it was that he didn't want to participate, but that he didn't really feel comfortable around the team, and of course Westwood, who did talk most of the time.

I think he wanted to maintain his cool image for his homies. Wonder if Scott or one of the team asked Westwood to come in? Really wouldn't surprise me, i would have if I was Scott. At least Westwood filled in all the gaps that Flo Rider didn't speak in.

He was definitely an awkward guest. Personally, I think that bringing outsiders (ie, those who aren't familiar with the game) in to play OWO kind of detracts from the fun of the game. I'm sure Flo (haha) had good intentions, it just wasn't something he was familiar with.

Oh, and Viv, it also took me a tad too long to realize that Flo Rida = Florida. Which is especially embarrassing, as I'm from Florida. :*

    • 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
    • Vick, Katie, Jamie, Charlie and Melvin will be on at 11am. Then Matt, Mollie, Charlie and Jamie at 1pm.
    • I’m intrigued to hear about the new studios. I know that in the past (when they did Access All Areas online tours) there was two big studios in the Live Lounge and four smaller ones. Do we know where the ‘new ones’ are? And how much of them? Are they on the same floor of NBH?   Am I thinking right? Arielle - one of the small ones (old) Greg - 82Mills RMC - 82B Dean&Vicky - Salford Drivetime - 82B (I guess?) Jack - the ‘new one’ Sian Eleri and nighttime shows - ?   Also, do we know if all Radio 2 and 6 shows have relocated to NBH? If so, are they all on Radio 1 floor, or are they scattered around the building?   Sorry, a lot of questions, but I have a gap in the studio area 😅
    • I think that’s Sam and Danni’s first time covering breakfast - congrats to them and looking forward to seeing how they get on on it!
