I want

unsigned and signed bands. Also, clear labelling of tracks being played too would be nice.


i want

lots of in-jokes and LOLing.

and maybe some good music too.


acerbic humour and interesting bands

of all shapes and sizes - and no pregnant pauses of course


Could...

we have no comedy sidekicks please?


but isn't

that what Crablin is already... ?

:D


sidekick to what?

Your desperate attempts on this board to continually try and make me look stupid always just result in everyone ignoring your posts.

Fuck.


I think you are being

paranoid. I was merely joking, hence the smiley face ^^ can you see it.

I suggest that your own bad temper is clouding your judgment and causing this kneejerk reaction.

And people don't ignore my posts, i'm not sure where you get that from. Maybe you're not sleeping properly. Please, please pay attention.

xxx


I try hard to ignore them

But they are just so numerious...


aye...


I said people

not fucking cunts like you brainlove. yeah, go on ignore my PM you fucking coward. I was being honest in that PM and you ignored it. That makes you a pathetic little twat!


hes

REALLY tall.


and JINGLES

that say 'ho is killer a man'

and punnage of the word 'DiS'.


Would it be possible

to make the MP3's at least 192kbps? It only increases the file size slightly over 128kbps, but the sound quality is much better.

Thats the techy question out the way.


What...

so you can rip the songs you like from the file and then start your own download store and take over the music industry?

it'll be at 160 actually...


160'll have to do then

yeah, like i'm gonna steal tracks that have you talking over the start and end.

I have soulseek :-P


DJ Panic and His Horny Band of Vagabonds

that's all i want.

but if that's not on: good music from today's top bands, retrospective shows on eras and genre, guest shows from bands playing their favourite music and mike diver presenting the news in a bad mood.


how about an Exiled DiSer segment

You could get Kirsty or even Mart on the show and find out what life is like after DiS.


thread of the week

just someone reading the best thread of the week doing impersonations of each contributor to the thread, ok maybe not.

just lots of new music basically, and lots of roflcopters and LoLing and maybe a guest spot from Bono


comdey


Hmm

no in-jokes - I assume it's trying to cadge a larger audience than the sum total of this forum?

light banter and wit

VARIETY - no overplaying songs even if you love them to death. Good mix of genres where possible

Consistency

good music

I'd expect the DJ to be engaging?


yes yes yes

all these things have already been addressed.

DO NOT WORRY, WE WON'T FUCK IT UP.


haha


I want a nice mix

new music, old (relevant) music. Slightly popular music and totally unknown music.

And I want to hear you and Mike Diver making surreal jokes and saying LOL instead of laughing. And I want there to be recorded samples of Raz turning up to be sarcastic.

Kinda like the boards in audio


with my connection...

i won't be able to listen to it !

Lots of different bands i suppose...


Get rival staff at Dis and Pitchfork

to have live fights.


yes you will

one 40mb download every two weeks - fine!


no

definitely not fine...


Can...

there be interviews with people where you only respond with some famous DiS catchphrases?


wut?


I want to hear music

that you mention in the reviews, in a topical manner. Anything though really, I'm very excited. Er... and Bobby Grindrod doing old-fashioned stand-up.


YES

Bobby Grindrod's One Liner Of The Day.


i'm expecting cake.

if not cake, biscuits will do.

and some irrational hatred of bands for no apparent reason other than it'll be controversial.


YOU SIMPLY HAVE TO HAVE

A Raz segment. He is by far the funniest guy on DiS.


NO

mike diver is the funniest. when he is in a bad mood and gets an x factor story of course.


Mike is funny yes

but he tries too hard.

For RAZ it just comes natural!


Try?

I don't try at all.
If I did I'd be dangerous/would have a proper job/beautiful women would throw themselves at me/I'd be able to grow a pirate beard.


Now that

is the biggest pile of rubbish I've read on here EVER. Raz is admittedly wired wrong and therefore amusing but Diver doesn't try to be that funny - he's just genuinely amusing.


see it's funny


Blooming Internet and none showing of emotions

I was joking. Of course Mike doesn't TRY to be funny. I TRY to be funny and fail (most of the time anyway).

I was merely exchanging banter in championing RAZ for a DJ spot.

tsk ;-)


Raz would play nothing but metal.

Is that what you want, is it?


god that was funny

i've actually wet myself. !


I dig metal. But Raz is, y'know...

...a bit much.


hahahaha HAHAHAHAHA

YOU CRACK ME UP MAN, THAT WAS LIEK SOOO FUNNY.

Have you considered stand-up?

;-)


See its funny

See what I did there ^?
It has a funny, it owns it, and you can see it.
*chortle*
Simple grammar twists = hours of japes.


me not understand

funny !


No,

Raz tries too hard. Mike Diver is MUCH funnier.


sadly

you'll have to make do with my dull tones.


Boo Hiss

;-)


what music are you going to be covering?

Is it going to be drownedinguitar bands or like, a mega-wide range of stuff, and I don't just mean saul williams or something. Can I DJ techno?


I'd second that.

I want a homesick show where every tune must contain at least 2 synths.

Can i be your comedy sidekick, or at least your sidekick?


you can do the speaking part

I want to say nothing in order to convey the facelessness of techno.


sweet

its like that artist who has never seen any of his paintings because they were made according to written instructions issued to his students.

well, not really, but its close enough


I used to hate that

when people did dance music shows on my uni radio and didn't speak, so no-one knew what the records were. It's a radio station! You're not in a club! Idiots.


well, thats why I'll talk!

That way we get the best of both worlds.


I'd like it to be

funny - but not in a way like the presenter's trying to launch their career as a comedian. Just nice and informal and chatty. You should have different presenters on different shows to get a real mix.

Don't have a regular presenter, keep it away from making the presenter the focus of the show. make it about the music, maaan.

A good of mix of signed and unsigned - like perhaps you could guarantee that say 25% of each show will be unsigned bands. so you get genuinely new music.

And definitely make sure you say what every single track is and where you can get hold of it. If not on the show itself then definitely on the site.


yes yes

definitely make sure you say what EVERYTHING is. The other day Phill Jupitus played a record, then after it, said 'of course, you all know what that is' and I didn't and felt lame/annoyed.


Thought for the Day

from Creakyknees


Anschul's Corner

He could DiScuss Politics And Stuff.


haha

cheers for the nomination monpot but it might be incitement to some


I think

they should play the Fog Band.

(£5 please)


an agony uncle./auntie

a running soap opera a la the archers

chris moyles burnt in effigy

a 'alcoholic drink of the week' feature


IShotTheDeputy

HAS to be resident Agony Uncle!!


Oh...

we need the soap opera.

Could Marilyninthesky run a sex column?


I'm

expecting the Earth to move!


can we have a soap opera?

i'm thinking The Archers mixed with Peep Show. actually that's terrifying.


the archers

seems terrifying enough without any aids.


aids?

?


As little talking as possible

and no Arcade Fire would get me to listen


can we have nothing but Feeder and Weezer and lots of adverts

please?

and a singles review show similar to Round Table but not so bloody polite and not featuring James Endecott every frickin week!

and no 'sidekicks' unless they are actually funny


you forgot the 'the'

so that's 4.50, whoever you are, smartboy


Can Prole have a show?

Except he can't choose his own playlist. So basically a round-table, with only Prole on it. I'd love that.


As much talking

and Arcade Fire as possible would get ME to listen


how about

you just listen to 'funeral' all the way through and talk to yourself?


dont worry

i think they suck and will be banning anything people are likely to have heard loads and had rammed down their sheepy throats elsewhere.


I'd Like a spot presenting...

The (drowned in) Sound of Sweden


monkeys

loose in the studio.


Conditions:

1) You have to play 'Smells Like Mart Spirit'.

2) You have to play at least one pedestrian snooze rock tune per cast.

3) Don't just play NEW music like Smeagol LMAO. Play some 'indie classics'.

4) Don't just play what's cool at the time.

5) Have a 'The Worst Song of the Week' section. Each song played in this area will be devoted to marcofella.

If we can come to some agreement here, you've got yourself a deal.


please play NOTHING

but fookin' Roses and Mondays classics


Can you please revive

Our tone.


TeROFLiffic

I like the worst song idea.


please play NOTHING

but fookin' Roses and Mondays classics


amnesia?
