What’s your favourite song?

Don’t you just hate it when people ask you that?? Well I do. But for some reason I feel the need to write down exactly what mine are.. its part of not being in a good mood.

So in no particular order and covering random genres to include nu-metal, rap & dance

Linken Park – In the End
Coolio – Gangsta’s Paradise
Carly Simon – You’re so vain
Moby – Porcelain
Eric Carmen – Hungry Eyes
Elvis Costello – She
Dusty Springfield – The Look of Love
Dusty Springfield – I Close my eyes and count to ten

(edit: hmm this looks like i have a shocking taste in music… I just can’t think of them atm.. hence me writing down so I can add to it when I think)

And currentish favourites

Robbie – Sexed up
Xtina – Beautiful
Coldplay – Warning Sign

Goddamn I’m really not in a good mood, and for reasons I don’t really wanna divulge to the world but I really need a hug!

Radio prospects in life are really looking good, and I’m hopefully going to be getting some good experience behind me this Xmas which will bode well for the future.

First of all I’m helping out on Monday & Tuesday at an Internal BBC Music & Radio festival, stewarding, running about, generally helping stuff like that. We can sit in on some sessions so it should be cool.

Secondly through the Best Station win, I’ll be producing a show on Radio 1 for broadcast on Xmas Eve/Day 12am – 4am. It will be presented by Chris Carter & Dom Moret and I’ll be helped by Russ Boyatt! Its going to be amazing. We have our first meeting at Radio 1 on Wednesday and I really can’t wait

Thirdly…. waiting on final confirmation but I should have some work experience at a fantastic London production house in the first week of the holidays.

Yay!

Just a quickie

Everyone is having a moan about how love …actually looks shite! Personally I think it looks amazing and particularly because it has Hugh “man of my dreams” Grant in it!! All my flat kindly went without me when I was DJing Rag Disco so I’m at a bit of a quandry as who to go with!! I think its the type of film that will be fantastic and lovely but will depress me massively because of the whole lack of love thing going on!! Oh well!!

If anyone fancies going drop me a comment xx

Friday sees the culmination of 4 months of solid work to create the 2003 Student Radio Awards. I sit on the Student Radio Association Executive and each year we hold in associaiton with Radio 1, national awards to celebrate the talent of student radio. And after sleepless nights, endless phone calls to Heidi in Bristol and a few tears, Friday is *it*.

Stressed isn’t the word. I live with the most fantastic people, and the girls have been helping me chill all afternoon. I tried on my lush dress, and got taught how to do makeup to match it perfectly (im such a 10 year old) and then it hit me, so many many things rest on this Friday. Is the night going to run to plan and perfectly, Are RaW going to have anything to celebrate, and are my own personal hopes for Friday going to turn out the way I hope.

All my current hopes and dreams could be shattered or realised in only 4 days…

Well todays chart has been very very very random.

I don’t think anyone can deny that Kylie – Slow isn’t the best the Aussie Minx has done but its gone straight in at number 1 on todays top 40.

Equally strange is the fact that Robbie – Sexed Up has gone in at number 10. This is only his 4th single to ever go below number 4 in the chart. In my opinion this is the 2nd best song on Escapology which isnt that fantastic an album but it does contain the utterly beautiful feel and the fantastic but seeminly under rated Sexed up. Gutting!

By the way its Kylie week on SBN this week and you can win Kylie tickets to a special intimate show which might be worth a listen.

Also this weekend I went to see Xtina Aguilera with Giles & Mikey in Sheffield which was pretty cool. That girl has an amazing pair of lungs and Beautiful really is Beautiful.

On Friday I went to Leicester and bought a lush dress for the awards so all is looking funky. I just need to plan how to accessorise it and how to get ready in a toilet in about 15 minutes on the night but still look hot. 12 days to go!

Aaaah I’m so tired.

I went to Dan’s birthday party last night at his house in Leam and am SO SO tired. I only woke up at 1pm…ooops and I have shed loads of work to do before going to see Christina Aguilera tonight. But the night was good as I knew practically everyone there and spent a good amount of time talking union stuff which i’m not quite sure is a good thing or not

Pat has a show today on dream so good luck honey!

Top B this week is going to be normal, hurrah! Last week it was hosted by the Warwick Student Cinema and so I had to play lots of movie stuff that no one really seemed to want to dance to. The cheese will be back in force this week though. However the crowd at top b is annoying me a bit at the moment. Its very weird that all the first years were born in 1985 and they just don’t seem to know *any* songs. I played Holding out for a hero and Sisters are doing it for themselves and they all just kinda stopped dancing and stood there! Very very very odd……..

By the way there are new photos in the gallery from the Loughborough nominations party here
