I have counted three times so far Whiley has gone on about how hilarious that stupid indie-wank cover of "Hit Me Baby One More Time" was by Travis in the Live Lounge. This happened THREE CENTURIES AGO. GET OVER IT WHILEY. If she's trying to claim that the Travis Britney cover was on her show, then truly I hate her. It was done in a pub in Robin Hood's Bay for the undisputed Kings of all Radio, Mark and Lard. Just cos every indie-shite band has copied it for the Live Lounge since then doesn't mean that you had the idea first, Jo. |

God, I was stuck with her ruining my afternoon with her moaning
'SOME bands don't take the live lounge seriously, so it was nice to see the Mystery Jets
really putting their all into it'
FUCK OFF.

I realised the other day that I quite fancy her.
ALSO, i shall reiterate what I always thought was a given - that she is the least utterly dreadful DJ on daytime radio one.
As I see it, from worst to least it's:
1. Moyles - dreadful cunt. The school bully (the type who probably picked on other fat kids for being fat) with a gang of ego=massaging gigglers
2. Edith Bowman - scottish witch who acts like a generic student. 'GET IN'
3. Scott Mills - Unfunny man who thinks he is funny. Also has a very annoying voice and PLEASE STOP SAYING OFF OF.
4. Jo Wiley - A bit up her own arse with the old music love, but then she is a radio 1 DJ, so it's nice that she actually likes the stuff. Also she is not as dismissive of the acts that don't write and play their own music (I am looking at you, Bowman). She also likes Doctor Who. And she has quite a sexy voice.

ND, you and I are a rare breed in our Whiley tolerance I think. As you say, yes she is up her own arse, but name me a radio 1 DJ that isn't.
Exactly.
And, also, as you say, she does like music. When she and Steve Lamacq did the Evening Session it was brilliant, wheras Zane Lowe, however much good music he plays, makes me homicidal.

I hate hate HATE Changing Tracks so much.
No matter what kind of a day it is, or who's been on previously, or how happy Jo was earlier, as soon as it starts, she suddenly puts on this extremely false sad voice. And the stories themselves are so fucking bent anyway - they aren't life affirming and the song choices are dire.
I hate how she tells the story, each line when she pauses for dramatic value:
"I was born in Birmingham......................It was okay, I had an okay childhood.....................I went to uni................. it was scary, but good............. and one time.......... at the student union bar....................I saw someone I hadn't seen for weeks.....................it was..........................my friend Dave.........."
You can actually time it and say the word "pause" between each line she says. Its nauseating.
On terms of rubbish DJ's, well yes, Radio 1 is packed full of them, and between the choice of Whiley and Fearne Fucking Cotton, I'd probably settle for Whiley. But then that's like saying you'd rather get raped by a Rhino rather than a Bull Elephant.

I've never heard that feature before, but it sounds very strange!

That just sounds like Simon Bates' Our Tune to me.

That just sounds like Simon Bates' Our Tune to me. Yes, it basically is - I think Radio 1 has always had a slot like that in the morning: I'm sure Simon Mayo had something very similar. |

My favourite ones are when there's an entirely incongruous tune at the end - you know...
It was when he told me that he had killed and eaten our baby daughter that I decided to leave ... I could barely see through the tears ... but then a song came on the radio ... and its lyrics really spoke to me ... and its thanks to that tune that i've rebuilt my life...
And here's that song: Tequila by Terrorvision...

Usually the song though is either Green Day "Time of your life" or something of Oasis's Morning Glory album - the people are that cliched.
Not to say some of the stories I would want to experience myself but you can tell they have a slow week sometimes when someone gets on with a story of how they failed their GCSE Coursework.

Thank God the Karma button is gone-Whiley is my favourite radio 1 DJ apart from Sara Cox who seems simlarly dispised.
Edith is quite obviously the spawn of the devil- not everything in the world is "AMAZIN" or "Gat in!".
And why Scott (dont mention I'm a gay) Mills and Vernan (I have a kid and am from Bolton) are popular with anyone I'll never know.
