You really are quite funny.
What are you listening to now? Page 292
Quote: Winterlight @ July 20 2008, 8:11 PM BSTYes. Just like Geri Halliwell was a UN spokesperson.
... you mean they're pretending to have started their own label?
Somebody tell Dougie! I don't think he knows.
Quote: PhQnix @ July 20 2008, 7:58 PM BSTThey have to have got together for the purpose of making music, not making money. There are probably a bunch of bands who I like who barely knew each other when they were formed but they aim to make music not money.
Yes, that's what they say to appease judgemental music Nazi bastards.

I already knew that. It all goes to pot when I have to start typing responses quickly.

I was surprised too! I thought they were well radio 1.
Don't you have to be black to be on Radio 1?
Tim Westwood thinks so.

You just have to show a reasonable level of musical ineptitude and have a clear short shelf life. Eee, it's good to let the snob in us out from time to time! I don't actually ever listen to music on the radio, so I've no idea what gets on Radio 1 these days. In my imagination it's pretty horrific.

The guy's an idiot.
Quote: Matthew Stott @ July 20 2008, 8:05 PM BSTWhy on earth would you want to give away your new album with a newspaper anyway? Seems a bit odd to me. Yes, its publicity and perhaps gets you out there to a lot of people who wouldn't normally buy your stuff, but I'd feel pretty ashamed to be giving it away with a paper.
If you make music because you love it, I doubt you care who hears it and (within reason) how they get to hear it. Only the snobby music Nazi fans get pissy.
I listen to radio 2!
I am jolly old.
I stopped listening to radio 1 around the time that Mark and Lard and John Peel left/died/got sacked.
And when I realised that all the cool kids were on radio 2 anyway.
(and a hell of a lot of freaky old weirdos, but never mind them.)
Are you listening to Malcolm Laycock yet Zooo? His shows are brilliant!

Me too. Everyday at work. Love 'The Big Quiz'. Annoyed with Steve Wrights stand-ins though. Can't stand either of them.

Eh? Name 5 black British singers/groups who get regular play on Radio 1.
