New BBC Radio 2 Trailer

i dunno ... i just find something so smug and punchable and hateable about this advert. it's just so complacent and ... eew. it's like punk rock never happened, innit? :)

Yes, really (xpost).

"eh, twat mansions here, noel speakin'."

"hello mr gallagher. would you like to appear in an advertisement that suggests you're the acme of guitar-playing (at least in the eyes of tragic BBC radio executives)?"

"d'you have to ask, y'fuckin' coont? bangin'!"

i sincerely hope the fucker didn't get PAID for the "appearance". wow.

Marvin Gaye is the only one that looks wrong though. As in "not actually part of it" rather than "shouldn't be there" obviously.

xpost Doesn't Elvis actually do the band rundown by name? I guess he'd have been shocked to see how old his band was, if he could see through the cinema screen.

(is it coincidence that immediately Cameron rails about rap on the radio glorifying hoodie violence, etc., Westwood loses his Friday show in favour of indie disco?)

the Organist Entertains is going?? nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

and more jo whiley because hellworld is real

as Radio 2 becomes 90s Radio 1 the o.g. Radio 2 stuff will have to move into a niche on Radio 3, they've got plenty of room
