Comments (1) …that’s it! Ali’s finished. It was the last show on Saturday so I’d just like to say thanks to everyone who’s supported the show and listened in the past or listened for the first time this week – we both really appreciate it.
From next Friday, as the previous post points out, I’ll be reviewing new music for your ears. Woop woop!
Have a good week.
Tra.
With Ali leaving the Download Chart I’ve decided to follow another ‘passion’ of mine and review music on the blog. I’ll do my best to introduce you to bands who I think are going to be big, but for a majority of the time, I’ll stick to reviewing new singles from bigger artists.
If you want to write a review for a particular song or album, you can email me your thoughts, and the best stuff will go online!
The change will start this coming Friday. ARE YOU READY?
So if you were listening to the show yesterday you’ll have heard Ali’s announcement – he’s leaving!
If you missed it, here’s the rather dragged out three minutes in which Ali drags it out:
But, if you can’t be bothered to listen to the three minutes of preamble before the announcement, why not listen to Neil’s reaction…
Next week’s show is going to be pretty big! If you’ve got any ideas/want to come on air and wish him well in the future or just say bye, let me know and I’ll do my best to get them on the air! Listen in this Saturday from 10:00, it’s going to be huge!
Woo – the end of another week. Thank God.
Recently (I don’t know if you can tell) I’ve been running short of ideas for the blog. Maybe my ‘creative juices’ just aren’t flowing or not enough exciting events occur around me, but it just seems at a bit of a dead end. I welcome any suggestions via comment or via email other than “Eurg, James, just stop posting” or “Eurg, James, you’re rubbish at this, please stop” etc… If you do chose to leave a comment with your thoughts, remember that the chances are I won’t publish it but reply personally instead.
You know Kent, that largish county to the bottom right of the country, well apparently they had some snow this week. Yeah, MORE! I’ve got a friend who’s going out to Virginia today (hope you get on alright if reading!) and the snow there was so bad that they closed the airport a few days back! It’s just a sign really that we’re really awful with dealing with snow. Over 50 schools were closed in Kent (again) and roads/trains failed. Surely by now, after a good few weeks of heavy snow fall across the UK in January, we know how to prepare ourselves against it happening again? Apparently not. I’m bored of snow now anyway – can’t we have hurricanes or something more interesting? At least it would make for more interesting news stories than reporters having to stand in the cold and drag out a story about a man getting a car stuck, and a landrover saving him with live action of the incident happening behind them. How boring’s that? I don’t want to know if someone I’ve NEVER met before has got stuck in some snow, let them deal with it! It’s not a national bloody emergency is it!
The moral of this post is – STOP SNOWING – OR I’LL MAKE YOU STOP.
Finally, Ali’s back this week from 10:00 on Oxford’s FM107.9 with the top twenty downloads from this week. We’ve got some amazing prediction tracks – genuinely brilliant!
Now, in the words of Charlie Brooker – go away.
Before all you pedantics start having a go at me, I KNOW that neclection isn’t a word (nucleation is).
Sorry for not posting yesterday – I forgot, plus I wasn’t working on the show today anyway. I went to an open day at a radio training centre in Southend. Yellow Media it was. Everyone is very nice there and I personally recommend you go and have a look at their website! www.yellow-media.co.uk. [I was not paid to plug that site]
Long story short – I’m on the train home and thought I’d blog seeing as though I had forgotten yesterday.
Have a good weekend – promise to blog on Friday!
Lots of love,
James

… an idiot. My friend Sean would back me up on this.
I would like to apologize for three things:
1. Being an idiot
2. Messing up the blog
3. Being an idiot.
The problem was that I had just moved web hosting providers (I won’t embarrass them by revealing their name but there was much *variety* within this *media* organisation’s support service based in the *UK*) and being an idiot, I didn’t back up any of my files. All my recent blogs had gone, all my audio from my website – everything!
So, without further a do, welcome to the blog’s rebirth! (again!)
