The Austin Texas show will be broadcast in the evening at 9pm local time. You can listen to Oui FM at 102.3FM erm... YAY I suppose

They do play tripe though from time to time. It's a shame they don't let most DJs choose their own playlists instead of giving them a list of 50 songs and saying 'You Must play these'... it'd be interesting to see what Scott Mills and Chris Moyles ACTUALLY listen to

I think more DJs should be force-fed playlists

Theres only normally a couple of tracks that I dislike on it; and well this week I think theres only one track that I really hate and the rest I all like to a certain degree.

The Girls Aloud track is minted IMO. Yeah I didn't like it at first but now i'm totally feeling it. and Girls Aloud totally isn't my scene in general so the track must be doing something right.

I don't like any of Girls Alouds stuff, but then I don't like manufactured bands / artists in general, so

Their new track they've put out though is their best IMO.

Funny, that's exactly what Scott Mills said this morning There are a lot of excellent tracks around at the minute, most of them are highlighted in your chart

I would do one, but it would basically be identical to the top 10 I post in the multichart... no pop or dance or rave or trance or rap or hip hop or r'n'b i'm afraid

I have tracks in my chart from most genres, which is a good thing IMO.

Yeah, it adds a bit of colour I know fine well that if I post a chart, most people will turn around and say "Ugh.. that's one BORING charts it's all indie/rock... bla bla bla" But at the end of the day, it's the sort of music I like

I'm sure that if you posted your chart a lot more people would like the tracks you put on on your chart more than you think.

I'm sure that if you posted your chart a lot more people would like the tracks you put on on your chart more than you think. We'll see. I'm still relatively new, though, and besides you and a few selected others from the Snow Patrol forums etc, not many people have spoken to me yet. Not to mention a good two thirds of the people in this forum like Pop and Dance music I'll post one when the time is right Back on topic, though... when's the next Arctic Monkeys day?!

Yeah most of the forum do like pop and dance music but theres also a lot of indie people around. But well the majority of the people around here who do like that sort of music really are kool. And oh yeah we best get back on topic now. I don't actually know to be honest. Might be a while though.
