Tim Westwood = AWESOME

Every second in the first ad is gold. "Supersized, with gravy on the side!"

Ha, I helped with those.

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!"

<3

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?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2013/jul/26/radio-1-tim-westwood-leave-bbc

Radio 1's voice of hip hop, Tim Westwood, to leave BBC station

Departure after nearly 20 years comes during Saturday night shake-up, part of a drive to find a younger audience

the irony

The 55-year-old presenter joined Radio 1 in 1994, hired by the then controller Matthew Bannister to present the station's first rap show in a bid to attract a younger audience.

Now Westwood appears himself to have become the victim of a drive to find a younger audience, the latest in a number of changes on the station that saw long-running breakfast presenter Chris Moyles replaced by Nick Grimshaw.

read that comments thread for talk of "fake" and "authenticity" rockism 101

The Times is really losing it.

Wait til somebody tells them about traveller boxing vids

lol at their choice of pic

what’s the opposite of a dog whistle?

This seems like a very quaint '89 vintage of outrage, they really are losing it!

Big Dog whistle.

Mad isn’t it that some people think Tim Westwood, a 62 year-old man who’s been dressing like this for decades, is a fucking deviant. All the signs were there, yet they went ignored, why? pic.twitter.com/GL1nm0WZAo

not really an incisive post, but no denying he looks like the consummate bbc pedo here!

Tim Westwood ≠ AWESOME

Hate to do it but...

That advert = he truly our generation's Jimmy Saville.

Oh look, Tim Westwood is trending again. Remember when Rodney P (🐐) made it clear that we've all known he's a wrong 'un for a long time? pic.twitter.com/Np8aB9H8vl

By the looks of this thread *A LOT* of ppl didn't know that!

I honestly can't bring myself to read too much of this thread.

westwood ...oh

Westwood has been accused in the media of giving false statements about his age and background. In 2000, at the age of 43, Westwood insisted to a Guardian journalist that he was aged 27.[31]

this is pretty good. i don't know much about the guy but came across his wikipedia page and found this.
