Scott playing Christmas songs - too early?

NOPE!! It is not!! Society already has the Xmas stuff in the shops, the lights about to go on in the streets, it's cold, crisp and wintry outside..... there seems to be rules in radio land about not playing Xmas tunes until December - my local DJ went "nuts" because I sent a text in for a Xmas choon in September, but then.... who cares!!!! Let's break all the stupid traditional rules and get the songs on!! I. hate. rules. (fact).

PS: Scott, if you're reading this, please can you play Madonna's Santa Baby - love that.

That's Madonna's Santa Baby!! thank you so much.

Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !!

I heard scott playing Mariahs christmas song and turned off, I dont like christmas songs before december because I like short festivals that have some kind of meaning...I dont want an all year round christmas.

But if you want to be alternative, lets boycott festivities until january and send christmas cards and greetings then... we could be the first to send cards etc in 2010. and then continue to send christmas greetings every day, we could just add it to our signature :)

Does the thought of christmas ever go away really? its probably worse for those of us in retail who see presents, wrap, cards etc arriving on the lorries around August, then that runs right through till december/january when the sales are on.

To me its all commercial nonsense, if i wantd to buy someone a present I would buy them it anyway. My ex and certain members of her family were of the view you had to get people something at christmas and you had to spend a lot to show you cared. Thanksfully dont need to bother with that for the first time in years so it'll just be a couple smal things for the parents and brother next month

Not impressed with censorship

Personally, I don't think it's too early. It's the only thing that helps me get through all the work at the moment. It makes me want to give up whenever I remember how much I have to do this term but then I remember it's Christmas soon so I technically get quite a long break then. Christmas makes me happy :)

    • There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first. 
    • It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?
    • Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also
    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.     
    • So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2
