Oh shut up Nick.

It's my opinion. Take it easy

Seeing as they played Minimal, I won't listen to it until I've heard the album on Monday. I've waited this long, I want the full effect come Monday evening!

I use an application called Hi-Download which allows you to download the BBC radio streams also.

I heard the first part of the interview (Robbie Williams making a dance album...with two PSB tracks....So I might have to buy a Robbie Williams album as an import, then) they played "Minimal" but I couldn't even stay for that and I had to go to work. I only heard a little bit of "Minimal" but I also want to wait for the full effect and get the album...but I might cave in and buy the import before buying the American release....depends on the price since I've seen the import very cheap! I will have to look for the show online. Thanks.

Wow, she is even cuter than she sounds. I listened to nearly the entire show for over two hours to hear the interview and I must say that for the most part, it was good! I mean, I didn't get a lot of the references to people and they are not playing the Eurovision contest here, so I was kind of lost when it came to some converstations, but the music is pretty good. I didn't realize that Gnarls Barkley was so popular there...I think they just came out over here and I think are breaking some ground.

That's so ageist, not to mention patronising to young people. Since when can people only listen to music by artists the same age as them?? I am only 22 myself and I'm sure many of us are well within the Radio 1 'target audience'

I wonder if Red Hot Chilli Peppers (which I'm sure BBC1 plays) are all that much younger....they've been around the same amount of time, but it wasn't until a few albums in that they became hit makers and sold albums (well, by that time, cassettes and CDs).

Yeah, it's funny. They'll write songs for Robbie and Radio 1 will play them to death, but won't go near anything they perform themselves. makes no sense to me.

There is a possibility 'Minimal' or another track from 'Fundamental' will get an airing today on Colin & Edith. Colin just said they'll be running down the new album chart & checking out this weeks new releases, "including PSB". Between 3.30-4.00pm.

Are you aware that you are directly grinding the nerves? It is not really nice to see such never-ending bickering on the euphoric eve of the album...

for those who think that this is great news...
last three guests of the show were Tom Jones, the gladiators (reunion) and Kermit the frog celebrating its 50th birthday...

I saw Tom Jones in Barcelona back in 2001 at a 20.000 people venue! Me and a friend, for some unknown reason, did a bet: if we passed our economics final tests at highschool, we would go to see him on first row. And we did it, and it was terrific!

FYI... starts @ 21:06 (~ 2 hours in) (4x15s and a 5 )

So on Colin & Edith's Radio 1 show today they played Bob Sinclair and mentioned PSB afterwards, something about imagining Chris whistling it in his hat & shades.
Then Colin BIGS up Fundamental, "I've been listening to it & what a great album", Edith is like "yeah, I love it", then Colin says "its one of my albums of the year...the next single 'Minimal' will be on our CD burner" (SOTW).

So they've mentioned the CD Burner thing a few times now & Neil & Chris weren't in the Radio 1 building this time!

I would like to know who are the people who choose the songs are on the Radio 1 playlist. I thought the DJ's (of Radio 1) have their influence on it.

Head of music, producers from the various shows (Colin & Edith's is a big PSB fan) and, to a certain extent, the DJs. The more specialist evening shows are probably more influenced by the DJ.

If this producer is a big fan, he should use his influence. Even, Colind and Edith can help.

They are normally chosen by a boring man in his forties wearing a suit. This man has his pulse on the nation's youth.
