Ireland, June 1990, age 8. Not being able to fill in certain pages on your Panini album was, I imagine, very much like the feeling Bob Dylan had while recording Blood on the Tracks.

No wait, too subtle

Hmm, wonder what that's about...

Some tremendous racism in the Daily Mail comments along the lines of "How dare this white man act like a black?"

also "how dare this old man act young"

"how dare this man act"

lol it is bangface for christ sake there is not going to be a single person in that room not on drugs regardless

one year at atp @ camber i was buying a drink in that hilarious pub and it was late and it was getting quite rowdy. one of the bar staff started making a fuss about how drunken it was getting only for one of the other staff to take him aside as say "listen mate i know you might thing this is bad...but you didn't work bangface" haha

wtf is wrong with my spelling. been a long day sorry

BOOM!

i saw tim walking up a street near where i was working a couple of weeks ago, with his tiny producer walking along side him. he seemed awesome, and he was carrying a table. it was massive.

i said, it was MASSIVE.

DROP THE BOMB

:D <3 @ BOOM!

Was assuming that was a sailing reference.

Blowing things up etc

"Westwood will never represent the most oppressed sections of our society"

http://blogs.independent.co.uk/2011/06/03/tim-westwood-the-war-monger/

A white journalist is complaining that another white man doesn't represent black music?

watching the odd future interview

what a fucking gobshite, shut up timmy.

remember when this thread was quoting quality lols from his twitter every day? RIP hilarity

Westwood has been banished to the weekends, btw...

this is terrible, westwood was belatedly born for drivetime :(

and to be replaced by that insufferable wanker charlie sloth to boot

who's that german or half-german (iirc) r&b guy that's like a 3rd rate taio cruz/derulo clone, so anonymous i can't recall his name

anyway westwood had this poor unsuspecting bugger on the show a few months ago, half-assing it, asks him the regulation so who would you like to work with question

he replies "oh, usher, beyonce... i think it'd be great to do a song with [twinkle in the eye for the uk market] ed sheeran"

tim, suddenly: "that would be HORRIBLE! ohhh man! i would NEVER play that!"

lol otm

1Xtra is basically even more po-faced and anodyne than Radio 1 is the thing yeah? no personality or funniness allowed on air during the day.

wellll... i mean, there's only one tim. the likes of ace & vis (also dumped, happily) and twin b cast themselves as the troublemakers of radio or whatever, they are cheerfully harmless/annoying moreso than anodyne

daytime wasnt too bad, sarah jane crawford is a fun gal, trev nelson i won't hear a bad word about unless it relates to chelsea obv

as a station they've generally been on a really great roll in recent years and have rarely put a foot wrong it has to be said. complete transformation from the 2008 doldrums

didn't realise Trevor Nelson was on daytime, no argument. when i do have it on for the music i find myself getting driven off by the DJs is the thing.

the aforementioned ace & vis were seemingly inescapable tbf, it was probably them you heard. or maybe gemma cairney with the vaguely slapped-arse demeanour

some of the weekend lot like nick bright and adele roberts idk much about, p sure "nick bright" is only going to be a faceless gimp tho

just going back to tim, must say he deserves credit (which he'll never get) for being pro-afrobeats way ahead of the current wave, he's the one that got me into it

too old for the bbc now?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/23466305

basically. plus you can't really hold down a primetime slot playing exclusively hip hop

how times have changed. The BBC and its attitudes to age (amongst other things) are a national disgrace

is there any reason to assume that age is a factor in his show being cut, other than it being sort of in the news at the moment?

isnt that the usual reason for kicking out dj's?
