Gid, listen again for last night's show is 'unavailable', what's a girl to do?
Fav album's so far at the nearly almost, possibly half way through the year stage:
Mirah - (a)spera
Das Wanderlust - Horses for Courses
Micachu and the shapes - Jewellery
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz!
try going to iplayer home page, i got it to work from there.
Playing Micachu album again, will have another go later.
Saw her the other day playing live, so, so good, would love to see her on a bill with Wet Dog and Das Wanderlust, that would be a fab line up.
Talking about "listen again": what if you didn't hear it first time, it's "listen in a time-shuffled way" (!)
Chris Hawkins played a great tune at ten to seven this morning.
Sounded like someone "toasting" or scat-rapping to Joy Division.
The scrolling text was unavailable and it was too late in his show to e-mail and ask.
I thought he might have said it was a session by the Blue Lords but the google match only gives a Lynyrd Skynyrd rock covers band from Norfolk, Virginia. I doubt it was them.
If anyone knows, can they please post it on this thread? By the time I'm back from Finland today's "listen again" will have gone.
Also a great tip for Gid's show!
Last night's show (Thursday 4th) isn't up unless I'm looking in the wrong place
I'm off to listen to Texas records then.
Hello,
Apologies, will let you know once it's there. It's gone in for a service.
Gidx
Ahhh no - I'm in radio hell right now!!! No Gid Show from last night to catch up on - and just finished listening to Marc's........
It will be there in 45 mins to 1 hour from the the posting of this message. Apologies again. I'm holding an enquiry but don't expect a reshuffle.
Gidx
Cheers!
Got waylaid by Toms show from Sunday night (forgot I hadn't listened to it .)
Tom played this track, maybe worth pinching it off his desk and giving it a couple of minutes of attention....
PAUL BERRY - Broken
Thanks for hitting the iPlayer thingimibobby and getting it working again.
been trying to listen to last night's show since half eight this morning. all i'm getting is a very polite message. please fix, while i still have an empty, thanks.
slight improvement. i can see your lips moving, but i can't hear you.
The first 29 minutes of last night's show are silence then it bursts into life. Is this some kind of political statement?
Hello
We're looking into that first 29 minutes but it's been tweaked so you don't get that silence at the beginning. Meantime, it's under investigation. Hope we can find it as there were some good records in that first chunk. Along with a story about seeing some old graffiti. Which was okay but I can always tell it again.
We'll keep you posted. Am currently listening to the new Dengue Fever record which is rather good. Expect to hear it on the show soonish, possibly tonight.
Gidx
Mitchell & Webb tonight so I shall listen to the first 30 minutes of Gid live - that'll fool any possible gremlins.
iPlayer NOT working again............
Hi
iPlayer experienced a technical problem this morning, as you noticed!
The good news is that the system is now processing updates and getting through the backlog so these programmes should be available soon.
go to ayeplayer homepage, getting gary no problem
Cheers guys - done as Knerak suggested.
is it just me or has somebody pulled a plug out?
got as far as r.e.m.'s pretty persuasion, pressed pause to answer the phone, pressed play to continue - nothing. now i'm being told to install real player, but i don't want to.
please ask those nice technical people to fix the machine, thanks.
oops, sorry - it was me, found the magic button.
Pleased to hear it's working now.
Hello,
Just to let you know that Tuesday August 4th's show will be a little late onto the iplayer. Apologies
Gidx
Does anyone have any idea as to how long it'll be before last night's show becomes available?
It's just not the same without listening to Gid in the am.
Apologies again, will keep you posted. Should be soonish.
, in reply to message 25.

Yeah - and me!!!
I'm in 6Music desert right now I've done Mr Rileydjs show and Toms.........
How about a bit of Guy?
Never mind Guy - like he needs the publicity. And there's a cd of some of his favourites from the show coming out. Very good it is too. Though of course other cds are also available.
BUT...Like I said, never mind him, what about me?
ME ME ME!!!
er.. .apologies the show is there now.
Well, it started okay...
... and then at the 9m30sec mark it all went quiet. Is it just me and my Victorian-era computer, os is this stopping everyone from enjoying last night's show?
Harumph.
(Speaking of which,
about time too, x
Ooh, no, I'm in luck.
It's just started... for now. Fingers crossed!
lee
i've reached 9.32 on the iplayer, all is fine, x
By the way Gid, it's "Guy" now is it? On first name terms with rock's glitterati are we?
'Ark at me 'ob-nobbing with Lord and Lady La-di-dah.
I remember when you used to "keep it real". I'll wager you're soon to "move to Cheshire and start using shampoo".
We regularly send eachother text messages. By which I mean once a year. But they're always nice ones.
I sometimes speak to Marc Riley as well. Not at the moment as he's on holiday and I don't want to bother him. Least that's what he told me.
x
You know Marc Riley? Like him that used to twang for the Fall? Friend of the stars you are.
Next thing you will be telling us you met the lead singer of Catatonia and Iron Maiden.
Blimey that crazy show biz world.
Do you happen to know any Jazz musicians?
Now Gideons name-dropping
I hope the iPlayers are up and running without any blips, hops, pops or scratches now. I've got lots of catching up to do.
Peta- I'd already done Guy - his show's always first thing Monday morning, promptly at 10.00am. Nice start to the week.
Hello,
Goodness knows where last night's (weds) show is. Will bang some heads, mostly mine, and find out.
It's there, or about to be. Apologies again
Gidx
Hello everybody! I'm after something here, I'll even think of a song pun on a subject of your choosing if you can fix it.
Two days ago Chris "the Chris" Hawkins and Shaun "the Shaun" Keaveny* read out a lyric sheet from a hippy song that had been sent in.
*spellchecks as "Heavenly"
Yesterday, the Chris said it was a 74-year-old lady who wanted to know what it was and that he would reveal the answer today.
In the meantime, the stormclouds were gathering: the "listen again" for Wednesday 12 August was labelled "11 August" in the blue bar at the top of the window.
Today, click on the link for "latest show" and you get "Chris Hawkins for 12/08/2009 [yesterday - which is there labelled 11/08/2009] is not available".
So when do we find out what the song was? or what happened in the Met Office badminton-off against luscious Helen Willetts?
I know these two don't have Gideon "the Gid" on their shows much, but I am keen to hear that programme today...
UPDATE: Someone's done something - but it's still unavailable.
The date of the unavailable show is still showing incorrectly as 12/08/2009.
There are two alternative links, both to 11/08...
AAAAAHHHHHH - whats going on!!!!!
I can't get Gids show from last night (nor Marc's)
PANIC!!!!!
go to ayerightplayer home page - gideon works a treat, not sure about marc, x
Cheers!
This seems to be happening quite a lot to Gids show
i agree. i suggested he complain, x
go to ayerightplayer home page - gideon works a treatΒ
from iPlayer? I'll try that later then.
If Gid's show isn't working, could it be that the end-of-term radio-controlled cars caused interference?
"It's there!" as Bez said.
Thanks Knerak.
Hi
Apologies for the technical people here - I understand that there was a technical problem this morning, effecting content across several stations and programmes.
So don't worry they're not just picking on Gid!
However, it seems so very strange that Chris is playing the exact same songs at 5am yesterday as he was today. Also , that he is talking so much about Friday on Thursday's programme.
Yep - the programme marked "Thursday" is today's!
Now the one marked "Wednesday" is Thursday's.
Yet to try the Gideon ones. The interview with Viv Albertine was great. I always thought an original "girl power" woman could be a bit "worthy", but she was really interesting and entertaining! So if you can get yesterday, listen to it.
Thanks Peta - the Chris Hawkins problem is that the dates are wrong! do the other programmes have that?
Yes I beleive so.
They're fixing the problem now, all should be sorted shortly. Hang on in there!
