That's the 1...Thanks it was bugging the hell out of me :-)

Yeah was just listening to it, liked it but favourites at I Bet... When The Sun Goes Down, A Certain Romance and Fake Tales Of San Fransisco (Haven't really listened to any others)

But I'm not convinced and your hopeless hearts won't stick. For the first time I know, this is now who I am.

i love Linkin Parks Numb!!

lol emma i like how we predict each others reactions :-)

It's because it's (nearly) one mind, except where boys, music and clothes etc are concerned. So basically nothing like one mind at all :D

Har, I got a slap on the wrists from my boss today for doing a feature throughout my show, playing a few tracks for the monkeys album.

But once he was the huge response I got from it, all was forgiven :D

Go Monkeys :D

In a list of greatest British albums to date, Arctic Monkeys have done better than the Beatles !!!

The debut record :"Whatever People Say I am, That's What I'm Not" has come fifth on the list!! The great Beatles album "Revolver" has come in ninth!!

This is according to music magazine NME.

:biggrin:

Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !!

Perhaps, though, it isn't so bad. The Beatles were the true masters of popular music and for an album produced 40 years ago to come 9th out of so many made since, is somewhat remarkable in itself and recognition rightly deserved from people of my age that The Beatles were truely great.

Its just a publicity stunt from NME to show their 'love' for the band. Stone Roses self titled album only came first in their poll because the monkeys told them it that they're their favourite band.

Most polls rightfully have Radiohead as number 1 album. Their poll wasn't representable really, the majority of the albums were recent and albums which in most 'best album polls' would never rank in the top 100.

No bands like Nirvana, The Kinks etc included either

Very much a case of NME rewriting history to suit what they think their listeners want to hear.

    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
