God, I hate XFM.
The problem isn't the music. The music isn't too bad at all, though the playlist is a little short, so it gets a bit repetitive.
No, the problem is all the bloody talking. The 'zany banter' between the records is bad enough, but the ads are driving me insane.
Funny thing is, I love Radio 4. So perhaps it isn't talking that I object to so much as asinine bollocks.
Posted to Music and Film by Simon Brunning at April 22, 2004 03:18 PMThe problem is you don't like listening to "asinine bollocks". Talking it has always been one of your fortes IMHO ;-)
Posted by: El Presidente on April 22, 2004 05:21 PMNot fair! Bollocks, yes, but never *asinine* bollocks.
Posted by: Simon Brunning on April 22, 2004 05:23 PMBut have you listened to Radio 1 or Capital recently? Compared to them XFM is a breath of fresh air. I probably wouldn't listen all day but the odd hour or so I find to be good for the soul.
Then again, if you think XFM is annoying and repetitive don't try Australian radio. It's a cultural wasteland.
Posted by: Andy Todd on April 22, 2004 05:45 PMWhen I lived within range, I used to enjoy listening to XFM. That was 3 years ago. It started going downhill when they took Zane Lowe on (he's now on Radio 1). His "cool" voice really grates.
Posted by: Underblog on April 22, 2004 06:40 PMIt's when they start playing stuff like 50 cent that I really want to get at the radio with a hammer.
I just don't think the stuff like 50 cent fits with what they market themselves as, usually i can tollerate - barely - XFM but it has been getting really terrible of late.
Time to find a way to hook the iPod into the car radio/etc
