i dunno whether daytime R1 could or should be anything other than what it is, i'm just saying that what it is right now, since as long as i can remember and probably in the foreseeable future, has been absolutely dire and god help me if i ever put myself through it again

guess you don't like "the hits", lex

at least not the ones aimed for a younger audience
it's okay, it happens to everyone
by the way it's too bad you weren't listening this week - the playlist has been banished since new year's day! normal services to resume, though

I think the Moyles/Grimshaw transition is the main reason to be optimistic. Unlike Moyles he actually likes music.
This is probably true though - how much freedom do R1 Breakfast Show hosts get in playing personal faves these days? Never got the sense that Moyles was ever particularly interested in championing music of any kind, in the way that even someone like Chris Evans was (NB the music he was championing was mostly terrible but hey).
― Matt DC, Friday, 4 January 2013 17:04 (eleven years ago) link
how much freedom do R1 Breakfast Show hosts get in playing personal faves these days?
very little, but they and their producers do have a choice in how MUCH music to play vs just gabbing around - grimshaw currently plays almost twice the number of tracks that moyles did - and they have a choice in what they talk about (could be about reality shows, could be about music), and they have a choice about what guests to book (i.e. reality show contestants vs musicians)
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Friday, 4 January 2013 17:11 (eleven years ago) link
those are the only two categories of subject matter in the entire world, by the way, i'm pretty sure
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Friday, 4 January 2013 17:12 (eleven years ago) link
xp Of course it's not exactly a revolution but the pendulum swings back and forth, especially when there are big staff changes. A while back, possibly in an understandable spirit of post-landfill detox, Everything Everything or their equivalent wouldn't have been on the A-list, and Nick Grimshaw is clearly a pro-new music choice. It seems daft to pretend that it's the same as it ever was - every sector of the music industry goes through different phases.
Tracer, if you think I'm saying daytime Radio 1 should be breaking completely unknown bands then sorry, I haven't explained myself very clearly. Obviously the specialist shows are the conduit.

surprised to find that its pronounced 'Hyem' and not 'Hame' courtesy of this interview

it's "hime"

although on front row yesterday the presenter did repeatedly say it as "HI-yem" and was audibly uncomfortable every time she did

refuse to believe this group werent named and pronounced after corey haim before some mortified label intern stumbled upon creatively bankrupt newish chillwave/post-AnCo bands whose names are just '80s ephemera
r1 playlist discussion is interesting, mdc makes a persuasive perhaps inarguable case for same as it ever was but when you're beaming a vibe into people's heads, which is what radio is, then smoke & mirrors shifts in tone actually do have conferring value. a few years ago the feeling was very much the moylesy you like this, we don't get it but w/e it's only music, now it's all rah rah in new music we trust yoof enthusiasm
you do also get little things tbf, 'aaliyah' didnt have to be c-listed for example
mdc otm re haim themselves, ithappens otm re the utterly pathetic and mindless "r&b" marketing
― r|t|c, Thursday, 10 January 2013 15:31 (eleven years ago) link
Pretty sure everything that isn't straight-out rock music or Mumford & Sons now has to marketed as "R&B-influenced" by law.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 10 January 2013 16:52 (eleven years ago) link
Corey Haim should be pronounced hi-yem too you know
― Jamie_ATP, Thursday, 10 January 2013 17:23 (eleven years ago) link
i know i'm blowing some minds here
IT'S NOT PRONOUNCED HI-YEM, GAWDDDDD

I can't let go of this absurd, meritocratic, utopian ideal - which never existed - of radio programmers hearing a really good catchy song and playlisting it without worrying about where it fits in. It's the poptimist Brigadoon.― Deafening silence (DL), Friday, January 4, 2013 10:04 AM (1 week ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

i think if ILM will have made one important contribution to the world, it will prove to be the phrase "poptimist Brigadoon"

(correction)
also isn't it pronounced hy-em as in "l'chaim!"
also also, in re. dan's point about siblings harmonizing beautifully, exhibit A:

also chairlift is a good point of comparison but i feel caroline has some kind of art-school visionary thing going on that's absent from haim.
― flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Thursday, 17 January 2013 00:24 (eleven years ago) link
i'm relieved at the total absence of art-school visionariness going on w/HAIM, it's one of the things i like best about them
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 17 January 2013 10:40 (eleven years ago) link
We have 6music on the office and both 'I Belong In Your Arms' and 'Don't Save Me' were both playlisted and consequently played like six times a day. The Haim song definitely made people prick up their ears here in a way the Chairlift song didn't.
I quite like 'I Belong In Your Arms' but it's one of those 'great pop songs' that's filtered through an 90s indie disco prism, and yeah the art-school thing, whereas the Haim song bypasses all of that.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 17 January 2013 10:53 (eleven years ago) link
I am totally onboard with this lot now by the way, I think it was hearing 'Slow Me Down' that did it.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 17 January 2013 10:55 (eleven years ago) link
That's a really good point - the old dichotomy of "perfect pop" vs actually popular pop. I love both so I sometimes have problems realising which is which.

Not mad about that remix, which reminds me too much of 80s Euro summer holiday disco hits for comfort. I kept expecting them to burst into La Dolce Vita.

Lissvik has definitely been out raving more of late, his Mungolian Jet Set remix is really upbeat as well.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 17 January 2013 17:43 (eleven years ago) link
i didn't mean to set up a competition b/t haim and chairlift, much less some kind of "perfect pop" vs. actual pop debate. there's room for both. caroline from chairlift is whip-smart in a way that codes, i think, as precocious and a bit arch and that persona/sensibility is something you can sense even in "i belong in your arms" and probably keeps it from being genuinely as opposed to semi-popular.
― flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Thursday, 17 January 2013 18:04 (eleven years ago) link
ah the old "whip-smart"
― r|t|c, Thursday, 17 January 2013 18:05 (eleven years ago) link

does that read as sexist or something?
― flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Thursday, 17 January 2013 18:15 (eleven years ago) link
would you prefer "smart as a whip"?
i mean i'd describe, i dunno, hal hartley the same way.

Don't Save Me feels like its coming from a similar place to Francis and the Lights, of whom I am a stan.

although emotionally more flat and less unhinged

I'm not sure I need much beyond Don't Save Me, but that new Lissvik mix is pretty cool imo.
