Think you need to tell the bloke whose job it is to press the record button about the new timeslot. Last night's listen again doesn't start until 10pm.
Any chance of having the first hour reinstated? I'm dead keen to hear all of that Beatles session.
Aaaaaagggghhhh. Gid's vengeance on those who watch the apprentice I reckon.
Not a bit of it. Though I would remind listeners that most of the stuff on TV is a right load of old rubbish.
There are exceptions of course. Meanwhile, at the risk of repeating myself, albeit only 2/3rds of myself, I'll look into it.
Gid.
I'd absolutely agree that most of the stuff on telly is a load of old rubbish, (I think it's about to get worse on a certain channel for a large chunk of the summer, and sadly there's even some rubbish on t'radio at times too). Of course that means that the odd gem such as the apprentice is even more precious.
I did indulge in some lateral thinking, in that the button pusher may have also forgotten to stop recording Marc Riley, but alas, no.
Thanks Gid.
And thanks for unearthing that Beatles session. It's incredible to think that these things are sitting around in some vault somewhere (mostly) unplayed. Just listening to that version of Ticket To Ride had my spine all a-tingle.
Oh and thanks for digging out the Ballboy session for the Scottish show. I know it was a while ago now but then I always was a little off the pace.
On the subject of Ballboy, I see they have a new album out this summer. There's something to look forward to.
If you're ever looking for a new button-pusher then I'd like to apply. It'd be a long day but the generous tea-breaks would help make up for that.
I find it strangely comforting that in this digital jet-pack age we live in some things still come down to a confused bloke staring at a load of buttons asking "Where's record on here?!? IT'S STARTING, WHERE'S RECORD?!"
Good News; they seem to have located the first hour.
Bad News (for Coombe Farmer); the button pusher's job may not now be available after all.
Yes I spent a difficult quarter hour trying to relate what I was hearing to the track listing - quite disturbing really
Why didn't Gideon tell us that 'Scienceboy' by Chik Budo was 'The Night' at the time? I had to expend thought to work that out.
I'm right, amn't I?
