You tell me. I'm more northern than you. Except Pash, who is the same northern as me.

I only found out a few weeks ago that Gedge is a neighbor of mine.

No.

Elvis, McFadden/Goodrem, and Eminem make-up the top three. Bloc Party and Duran Duran also top 10.

Wedding Present were 39 in the midweeks, so that means they'll almost definitely not be top 40 come Sunday.

Also missing the top 40 this week: Lil Jon. Bad news for broadsheet music hacks wanting to write the same "OMG CRUNK IS TEH FYOOCHURRR" article they've been peddling for the past 6 months.

Could they have not done it with the record that was number one the week before last?

Stay tuned for Sunday when I'll be standing in for Will on the Top 40 run-down. Sadly I am not blessed with JK & Joel, but Edith etc will be providing much to mock.

I'm thinking of making a pitch to Resonance to do a Pick Of The Pops-style weekly programme where I count down an old Top 40, playing all 40 records in full and commenting/musing on them in my unique style, i.e. lots of philosophical digressions, arcane references, unlikely aesthetic comparisons, post-traumatic stress therapy blah blah blah. But would anyone else listen?

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 4 February 2005 11:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Edith will be better than Wes. I don't know about JK and Joel. Or Marcello obviously.

the Telegraph did this yesterday! I found an abandoned copy on the Tube. It was a bit strange - I think they concluded that Ciara is not crunk because, er, she has a work ethic, then they called "Goodies" a 'witty ode to chastity'.

but yeah, as Marcello says the whole 'crunk is the future' thing is easily illustrated by the one No 1 this year which wasn't Elvis.

I would, except I always forget to listen to Resonance and never know what's on it (xpost)

I really enjoy doing radio programmes. It's very comforting when you try something for the first time and find that you're actually pretty good at it. The only thing is, so far I work better with a script. On my last Clear Spot programme I tried doing it without a script and there was a lot of um-ing and ah-ing which was a bit embarrassing, but that can be worked at and improved with experience. OK, it would to an extent be Radio Koons-RDTHM, but I'm sure I could pull it off.

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 4 February 2005 12:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I haven't heard you Marcello but will try to in future

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 4 February 2005 12:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Abby - it's not Edith... it's Colin. And Jo Whiley.

For my return, though, I get Vernon Kay and Spoony. Whoo.

my god all they need now is Jimmy Carr and I'll be convinced that they're deliberately trying to get the Worst People In The World to do this show.

i'd still quite like to do a Top 40 run-down. do the kids still call it Pop-Eye?
