It's been so long

Hello Teesdale.

Hope you are well and having a good friday night.

Friday is obviously the party night of the week, the weekend begins on a friday and many people spend many hours having a good time partying. Me? Sat in my bedroom on my laptop. Rock and roll.


A few weeks ago I went to see Oasis in Sunderland, they were absolutley amazing. I promised some pictures too, but completely forgot. I also learnt on this night that I'm awful at taking photos so I've uploaded the non blurry, non 'finger in the way of the lens', non awful pictures.


Chips. We got chips there. My girlfriend took this when I was at the toilet.






Oasis doing Wonderwall. Best bit of the night

So, as you can probably tell, I had an amazing time. Chips AND Oasis - who could ask for more?

In other news, I'm going to London tomorrow to a Univeristy open day with my dad. Hopefully something amusing will happen and will make a humerous story on air for Sunday. So tune in on Sunday for a possible hilarious tale about London.

Coming up on the show this week: the usual fun and games, find out who's at the bottom of my chart and the 'hits of today and yesterday'. All from 1pm.


Hope you all have a brilliant Friday night and Saturday day/night.
See you on Sunday.

Exams are over - back to the big show on Sunday

Well, exams are over and have all gone quite well, which is good.

In terms of Sundays, I'm back this Sunday from 1pm. Very excited.
So we've got a few new things up our sleeve coming in a few weeks and the usual fun and games. Please tune in and don't miss it.

Off to Sheffield today to visit my sister. Then tomorrow I'm off to see the mighty Oasis in Sunderland. Very excited about that.

Got tickets last night as someone I know can't go - so I get to go. Posh seats too.

I'll post pictures and stuff up here, but we'll definatley be talking about it on Sunday. So don't miss it!

What do you see? Cloud or country?

This caused some arguments today, do you see a cloud or do you see the UK?
I see a cloud, everyone else seems to think it looks like our great isles.


The world has gone mad...

Thanks for today

Today we talked about clouds, finding Jesus in crisps and bread, proms and the fact it's warm at the minute.

Not on next week or the week after. Sorry, exams and stuff. Back in two weeks time with something very special...

See you in 2 weeks.

Enjoy the 'smooth music' next week and the week after, stay safe and don't eat too many barbequed products!

Apologies for lack of updates

Hello world.

I apologise for the lack of recent updates, there are two reasons for this:

1. I've had exams for ages. Got a week or so until the next one so have a free night!
2. I forgot my password. I had to get this reset and everything which is a longer process than it sounds.

Hope you are all are well. I should be on this Sunday, I think I'm down to do a show. I'll turn up and see what happens.

Also, apologies for the lack of shows recently too. Exams are to blame!

Back properly on June 14th, which I am very much looking forward to. We've got some new ideas and fun features but these aren't finalised yet. Need to pass them past Tom and then big bosses! Hopefully some new stuff soon.

Keep well, see you soon.

New music

As you all probably know, I'm quite a big music fan.
I work on the radio which means I play loads of music every day and I'm always on the lookout for new stuff.

I found this tonight

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grPfVlj7Go4

It's called The Prayer by Kid Cudi (they did that Day 'N' Nite song) and it is amazing.

It samples Band Of Horses - The Funueral, and it's just an amazing song.

I don't know when it's out for download so I doubt I'll be able to play it on the show for quite a while - but when we get it at Radio Teesdale, I'll be all over it like a rash. Be warned!

Please listen to the track and let me know what you think!

I'll probably play Band Of Horses on Sunday! One less song for us to pick now!

Sam, Tom and I spend about half an hour deciding what to play and in what order every week for the show. It's quite amazing how we make so much of a big deal out of the music! Last week we picked 'A-ha - Sun Always Shines On Tv' because it won a coin toss against another song. That's how fun we make picking music.

Haven't blogged in a while...

Sorry for the lack of blogs recently, I have been extremely busy.
I think this is the first bit of free time I've had in about two weeks now.

I'll start with a general plug for the show. If you've never listened before, I'm on air Sunday afternoons from 1pm. If you do listen, we've got a new feature coming on Sunday.

You'll love it. Honest.

Last weekend I went to see Marley and Me at the cinema. It was extremely sad.

I didn't, however, cry in the cinema. Some people did but I wouldn't be able to live with the embarrasment.

I nearly did though. And you know me, Alex "hard as nails" James.

Anyway, I hope your life is going well at the moment. It's spring but feels a bit like summer.

I hope we have a good summer. We usually have a great, hot, summery spring and then a miserable Summer. Let's do a summer dance or something to make sure we get it hot this year.

As always, sorry for wasting your time with my ramblings.

See you on Sunday.
