I've had several long journeys (from Bucks to Lanarkshire) with my teenagers recently and they connected their phones to the inbuilt phonograph system in the car and I had to revise my opinion of 'young people's music'. They played some terrific chunes. Mind you, Radio 1 DJs may still be crap - but so they were 'back in the day'!

welshbairn Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) I'm as young as the victims I feel and am currently on the run in California, but MFR > R1. Edited March 7, 2019 by welshbairn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Some cnut in the hotel I was staying in last night tried to light up a fag in their room, set the fire alarm off and woke everyone up at 2.15 a.m. I'd like to have lit them up. In a Wickerman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Also yep, I'm 33 and the thought of having to listen to Radio 1 (or commercial local radio like Clyde 1, Northsound, MFR, all that Bauer Media ones) makes me want to drink Aids. Fucking brutal; some 'EuroDJ' with some blonde either Londoner or American, singing auto-tuned over some fucking noise that comes pre-programmed on a keyboard. ^ ^ ^ your absolute da. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trackdaybob Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 The 'problem' with Radio 1 these days is the DJ's have to be 'personalities' instead of people who just play some music. Too much talking and not enough music, that and the music they do play is just the usual generic pish as they can't dare to risk losing listeners and their following,clicks,likes,etc. Or something. Also, whilst I'm at it. Have you noticed that they all say everything is great these days. No one ever says "that's a bit rubbish" anymore Message ends 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpaty Lviv Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 How can folk be so picky about where to sit in restaurants where they get to choose? Just find a vacant table and fucking sit down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I've heard a few DJs over the years say something along the lines of 'Hmmmm, maybe it'll grow on me'. Which is basically code for 'That song is fucking shite'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Djs nowadays think they have to be "wacky" or "zaney" or some shit and instead sound like fucking c***s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing nowadays is you're spoiled for choice. That's no bad thing. There is so much better out there, all you have to do is find it. Back when all this were fields you kinda had to just listen and put up with it. Edited March 7, 2019 by Trackdaybob 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
