Do You Tune In For First Plays of New Singles?

PopSugarUK — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 07:21:05 -0700

On Friday morning Robbie Williams cemented his comeback by visiting Chris Moyles at Radio 1 for an interview and playing his new single "Bodies" for the first time. On Monday morning Cheryl Cole will do the same thing with her new single "Fight For This Love", appearing on the show between 7 and 9am. When I was younger I used to tune in to the radio for first plays of new singles, but on Friday I definitely tuned in more for the interview than the single as I knew I'd be able to catch up with that online. Do you ever tune in for first plays of your favourite artists' tracks?

Stripper Music Radio Station - Hilarious or Horrifying?

TresSugar — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 04:00:00 -0700

Alternative, hip-hop, country, rock, and now: lap dance. A radio station in Denver recently underwent a format change to become 101.5 The Pole, devoted to "classic nonstop stripper hits" from the '80s and beyond. Though it may just be a temporary stunt while the station transitions to an actual new format, The Pole is indeed spinning strip-centric hits until further notice. Do you think it's funny or foul?

Did You Ever Tune In For Casey Kasem's Weekly Radio Show?

BuzzSugar — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 14:30:04 -0700

As a kid, I used to tune into Casey Kasem's weekly Top 40 radio show every single week, always so anxious to find out what the No. 1 song was that week. It all seems quaint now, sitting excitedly by a radio as a kid, so maybe that's why I felt a little pang of nostalgia-fueled sadness when I learned that Casey Kasem has "officially said goodbye" completely to his radio show. The man's friendly voice could be heard listing off top tunes in some way or another for a whopping 39 years. Wow!

Do you also have fond memories of listening to Casey Kasem's radio shows?

Debuting Today: Bobby Flay Radio

YumSugar — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 12:30:57 -0800

Celebrity chefdom sure is far-reaching. Rachael Ray does daytime TV, Paula Deen dips candles, and now Bobby Flay is hosting a radio show.

Bobby Flay Radio debuts today on Sirius Satellite Radio. On the talk show, the chef will offer advice to men on dating and dressing, talk sports, and discuss current affairs. Oh, and talk about food. Explained the show's host:

Food transcends so much now. It's become so much part of lifestyle. How you eat, plate it, how you dress, and how you live all have a lot to do with one another.

Flay's wife, actress Stephanie March, will also make occasional cameos on the show.

Are you looking forward to another extension of Bobby Flay's brand, or do you think the chef, restaurateur, TV host, and food personality has a little too much on his plate?

NetWorks Radio Packs a Big Punch in a Tiny Package

GeekSugar — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 13:35:59 -0800

Not only am I obsessed with online music sites like Pandora, but I also like to stream my favorite radio stations from various parts of the country. I feel like it gives me a real insight about what new music is out there. My computer is totally convenient, since I can do both from anywhere, but I think the NetWorks Radio is a very cool alternative . . . if you have a "few" extra hundred dollars lying around.

The NetWorks radio is tiny - only nine inches high and five inches wide - but unlike other simple iPod docks, it not only plays music from your MP3 player, but it can stream music from the Internet and even pick up AM/FM radio signals from all over the world. Plus, it can tap into your computer's music folder via a wireless signal, and play that music, too. Seriously, this thing is a music monster fit for the radio heads out there - and the $650 price tag totally reflects that. Naturally.

Was Russell Brand's Voicemail Funny or Hurtful?

PopSugarUK — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 10:30:00 -0700

Russell Brand does get himself into trouble. If you've listened to his radio show or podcast, you know it's a rambling, often rude, flowery and stuttering trip through Russell's life and experiences. Usually it's a lot of fun. But in the show broadcast on October 18 Russell phoned Andrew Sachs - the actor best known as Manuel in Fawlty Towers - four times with Jonathan Ross, leaving lewd messages about Sachs' granddaughter on his voicemail. Russell has overtly apologised, albeit undermining it slightly by making light of it with Simon Amstell (listen here) but what do you think? Was Russell out of line with this?

Helen's Lusted After By Tempest Costar Russell

PopSugarUK — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 08:00:00 -0700

Helen Mirren was at the GMTV studios this morning, looking gorgeous with her red accessories. On Russell Brand's latest Radio 2 podcast, he told the injured Noel Gallagher that he has a beard for his part in a new adaptation of The Tempest, starring Helen. This being Russell, he then went on to describe his plans to get with her - with Noel's encouragement - saying "I am going to seduce that Queen."

Helen would have heard of Russell's plans following this week's Pride Of Britain awards, when he claimed:

"She is so hot. There's something about her that drives me wild. She's so sexy and enchanting, just look at her form. They're going to have to hold me back when we start work. I'll be all over her. I don't know how I'll get any work done."

Well, when you remember he generally uses his radio show to chat up famous women, I suppose chatting Helen up will be his work. I'm sure he'll reveal all to the nation's airwaves! You can listen to this week's show again here, and hear his comments on Helen for yourself. It's definitely NSFW though!
