Who is Russell Brand?

Lordy, could Russell Brand have done anything better to raise his profile than that phone call to Andrew Sachs? Mostly it's probably the Hate Mail on Sunday that's to blame. When the original Russell Brand show went out, no-one was listening. It's on...

Over the top door staff

I was removed from marthas because i asked a chap in a kilt if it was true that it was tradional for scots not to wear underwear under their kilts. I think this was harsh and ridiculous, and only came about because he "knew" management, i am a sia li...

Look at the rubbish I went to in 1993

I was clearly going to anything that was going in 1993, but Pulp played Portsmouth TWICE in 1993 and I didn't go. What was going on? Radiohead also played Portsmouth and Southampton this year, supposedly my peak years when I was doing the fanzine, I ...

Today I invented a brilliant new thing, called "podcasts"

Was surfing for news of Kid Rock yesterday, as a friend has been working with him and I was wondering if she'd show up in any paparazzi shots of him stumbling out of nightclubs or anything. No joy there, but he was interviewed by the Guardian yesterd...

Are you sure Hazel didn't register in both your names?

I wouldn't think the BBC would spam out invitations for something like this. We both registered (in our own names) though I didn't go for the competition aspect of it, so I won't get some researcher from Radio One seeing if I'm fun enough (and young ...

RE: Radio 1 big weekend lineup

Seems the BBC are taking matters into their own hands and creating yet another competition disaster - apparently both Hazel and I have registered! NO we haven't BBC if you are reading and I want them to tell me where they got all my details from.

Strange time travel

As previously possibly mentioned, I am listening to old Mark Radcliffe radio shows, on the mp3. Just listened to the last ever graveyard shift show on Radio One, and then (in exactly the wrong order) the first ever graveyard shift show from 1993. And...

Glastonbury pictures

Thinking about Glastonbury, Mum asked at the weekend if we had any pictures of us there, bearing in mind we may never go again. And I thought LAWKS, no I don't! I found a few luckily, but they're rubbish, andn none that make it look like we're having...

Glastonbury tickets back on sale?

Remembering XFM

Was surprised earlier to realise that the original XFM only lasted for about a year, before being shut down and messed up by Capital. Yes we've been listening to more Ricky Gervais, still haven't found any really early shows. I'll post up a list of w...

RE: Ricky Gervais XFM radio show MP3s

Ricky Gervais XFM radio show MP3s

Do you have any? Been listening to lots of Ricky Gervais recently, old radio shows from XFM, and they're great (if repetitive). Now we want more, and we want earlier. The oldest show we have is from November 10th 2001, which I think was an officially...

Second house-hunting trip around Canterbury

York (being the fourth part of my holiday)

York is great, a lot like Canterbury, but seemingly with more pubs. Our hotel was the birth place of Guy Fawkes, and had sloping floors and four poster beds, proper historic. It practically butts up to the cathedral, not sure you can tell from my pho...

RE: My lot are a registered company

"if you're paying 50 quid a month for 10 simultaneous streams, how is a radio station meant to pay for itself when it only has ten listeners?" aye, it can't.. Those are 'hobby' broadcaster rates offered by a third-party company. The only chance of ma...
