Cold and Frozen
What Ho bloggers! Top work yesterday on the plural issue which seems solved. Chrises it has to be. And the "Sing Something Simple" reminiscence was fun; I used to hate it! It spoilt the Sunday groove after the Top 40 and had to lunge for the off switch pdq. That whole FM switchover led to many confused listeners. Try explaining that Radio 1 shut down at 7pm and later at midnight and you'll be thought a knave and a fool.
Big Radio 2 gig last night as Coldplay went back to Dingwall's in Camden, London, the venue of their first gig. Holds about 200 comfortably but I swear there were 6000 last night. And most R2 presenters were scattered about. Jo Whiley (looking great in a red frock) Jeremy Vine, Johnnie Walker, Dermot O'Leary and (singing along with gusto) Steve Lamacq. It was filmed for red button digital tv viewers but on Radio 2 on the 15th December. It's a good show too.They took a while to adjust their stadium show to a small stage but then they found precisely the right gear, and they were off.
Before the show I recorded a chat and tunes with Carole King for Christmas week. As you may well have heard from Ken's show yesterday, she really is delightful. We spent a while talking about David Jacobs who she had just met. She was mightily impressed!
And songs today please on our FROZEN PLANET. It's the last of David Attenborough's fantastic programmes tonight and the one US TV has banned. What more do you need?
Have a padded and enrobed Wednesday. See you after 5.

I don't think they 'ad rehearsed and Chris Martin & Jonny Buckland were out of their comfort zone as they are notused ter playing their tunes as a two piece band.... But it made it more friendly and unique!!!!!!!
It's whatta like about Chris Martin as 'e is so down to earth and doesn't mind improvising/ making mistakes.... Part of the BIG charm of Coldpplay....

I'll subscribe to your irritation re. repetitive attempts to make one BUY stuff...
in fact I've just 'unfollowed' a certain R2 presenter for banging on and on and on about uploading/ downloading - whatever the term - a certain track for Xmas -
Glad you're on the mend.

'Eye In The Sky' might work as well. It's a wide-ranging theme - Simon's twitter request mentioned the US TV network refusal to broadcast this episode - so it will be interesting to see which way Simon and the Choon Choosing team go with this .. are you counting down to End Of Contract?

In the link I posted about Danny going from Edinburgh to Skye... he is bouncing about on the rocks and walls along our sea front and he must have gone the long way round because where I live isn't on the way to Skye!!!
