Public Radio Killed The Radio Star

My take on British radio might be rubbish, but it’s my opinion – so there.

There are four radio stations, OK there are probably more, but I have only located and listened to four. BBC 1, BBC2, BBC4 and I forget the other. The perk of BBC Radio, public funded so no commercials – loads of DJs talking, but no adverts. Kind of bizarre, yea? If I’m lying…

BBC Radio 1 is what I listen to throughout the day, I don’t mind the DJs and the music is probably something like the Q100 or 95.5’s back home. Andrew listens more to BBC4, a mix of all music new and old.

Now that I have educated you on the radio in these parts, I have to share this web nugget that they played this weekend. Andrew and I bout wet our pants.

Beyonce came over to London for a concert and, well just watch the video.

They had the poor cow girl on the radio and she told the story of what happened and it was hilarious.

On that note, enjoy your country music and mulitudes of channels back home.

Screaming Has No Accent

Music, the international language. I am enjoying the poppy, rappy, indy music we’re discovering in the UK. Back in the states we were all aware of the UK invasion and hearing some of the raw talent that is produced here, it’s easy to see why these musicians are topping the charts.

Big bro sent me some “Good Ol’ American Music,” which actually included a few singers I am loving from the area. Mikey likey!

Now it’s my turns to send y’all some of the BBC Radio A Listers:
Ellie Goulding
Your Song — first time since Elton that I’ve enjoyed a remake, no offense Mr Ewen McGregor. The video was most likely shot right here in my back yard. And Ellie is gorge!

Noah & The Whale
Life is life — pure motivation.

Will Young
Jealousy — think Annie Lennox as a dude, or even more like a dude. PS- video is a creepy version of Fame.

Wretch 32 ft Josh Kumra
Don’t Go — Josh Kumra steals this song, mmmmhmm!

Aloe Blacc
Green Lights — UK’s answer to John Legend.
