Gary Davies on Radio 2 last week , Half way through playing Will Youngs new single then

Beeeeeep , followed by a short silence , followed by Oh dear :scratch: and laughing ,
Then , well our computer has shut down to do a system update , don't worry we have a backup , Followed by Oh dear the backup is also updating !!!! so I cant play you any music :eek:

A short time later the producer connects his laptop into the system and his music saves the day :D

Never heard of that one before . It was funny though :lol:

Was the producer's choice of music any good?

That was Wednesday morning, between midnight and 3.00 am.
Most law abiding, innocent folk were in bed and snoring at that time!
WTF were you up to, Al?

Cant remember what his music was :scratch:

[Pigmy Pony]

My mate drives HGV, and although he doesn't do night time driving, he does start at stupid o'clock. He reckons music at these times is quality.

Surely Radio 2’s output at that time is pre recorded as they do re-runs of shows that have already aired?

Its not really a station I listen to as it has a mediocre local radio(without the adverts) feeling

Its got that Smashey and Nicey feel of all the old radio 1 DJs moving to Radio 2....easy listening mate......all a bit insipid really with safe music and small talk that pushes no boundaries. Am I wrong?

I listen to radio 6 and radio 3....aaaaah radio 3 when I cant handle crap rap I relax with some classical or opera music

[Pigmy Pony]

Wot, no Popmaster?

I usually have R2 on while working, but when with others I leave it to them. One mate likes Planet Rock, and that's fine, another chooses Heart, which I really can't be doing with. I have considered phoning in and asking if they want to borrow some CDs, my collection is clearly bigger than theirs.

Not a fan of Jeremy Vine though, he does my head in a bit. Especially when Dr. Sarah Jarvis is on. She seems more concerned with impressing everyone with her knowledge than helping anyone.

Its not a station I ever need to listen to. Middle of the road middle class easy listening for fans that used to like the Simon Bates stories. safe playlists Van Morrisons brown eyed girl.... Chris Rea etc....boring MOR presenters.

As I said before its where all the old radio 1 presenters go to fade away before the pension

It never really pushes anything. No radio station is perfect but radio 6 is where I go because the music is better and it attracts more cool presenters

[Pigmy Pony]

Radio 2 is my worktime music for singing along to (and ruining with my voice), I don't want anything that grabs my attention. For critical listening I would choose R1 or 6 music.

Hilarious! That's what happens though when you rely solely on technology! It wouldn't have happened if they still kept CDPs, T/Ts and physical music media in today's radio stations, rather than just used computers:doh:
