The show wasn’t anything special this morning - despite the promising start. Chris began the day (as we all do) with a complaint about the weather - this time saying it was too hot last night. He woke up in a pool of his own sweat, kind of half under and half on top of the duvet. Dave said he always needs his duvet on however hot the weather - just for a bit of protection y’know. He also doesn’t do that thing of turning the pillows and the duvet over for the cooler side either, which I thought everyone did. Dave said never mind all that though - he was pleased we just had hot weather. Chris and Rachel had both caught the sun over the weekend, although Chris was sure that Rach had been on the sunbed again. She denied it...
Chris - We’re natural, you’re fake
(hits Razorlight vocals)

Moyles played Girls & Boys by Good Charlotte out of the first segway and dedicated it to all the girls & boys going back to school today (y’see what he did there). Chris said he used to hate school and told everyone who hates it now not to worry - as after they leave their lives could get so much better like his did:
Dave - Yeah but you can’t use yourself as an example I don’t think
Chris - Yes I can. I know nothing and look at me now!!!
Dave - Yeah I know, for you it did happen that way and there’s no denying that, but it’s a dodgy path to tread to say don’t worry about school cos you could end up like me...

Chris said he wasn’t saying that - just that it’s not the end of the world... although granted you could end up living in a gutter like a junkie in a puddle of your own urine. Hmm, nice. Dave said Chris would make a great careers adviser, cue a funny role play involving leaflets. Moyles recalled meeting his smug careers officer back in school when he was 15 - who found it hard not to laugh when a chubby kid from Leeds came up and said he wanted to host the Radio 1 Breakfast Show. The response was something along the lines of “That’s great... now go to college”. Aled said his careers advisers at school were just about as helpful..
Chris (interrupting) - They said “No Aled, you won’t become an international underwear model for Calvin Klein...you should think about maybe going to work in broadcasting”...
(Aled, Dave and Rach laugh)
(Chris starts Ashlee Simpson)

Chris and Dave agreed that careers advisers are just for the confused kids and not the normal ones - as they don’t actually say anything helpful when you tell them what you wanna be. Texts came in saying that if they were any good with advice, then surely careers advisers wouldn’t be stuck inside a school telling 15 year olds what to do in the first place - and would be out there in a glamorous job like being Status Quo’s roadie or being a porn star. Cue a conversation between Chris and Dave on what work experience would be like in the porn industry: Monday - script writing, Tuesday - studio, Wednesday - filming, Thursday - clinic, Friday - laundry... start all over again etc etc.

Buzz Off today was a superb choice by Chris - A Hard Day’s Night by The Beatles, number one back in July 1964. Thankfully no one on the team was stupid enough to even consider buzzing it off, and the listeners voted 75% in favour too. One of the best ever Buzz Off choices without a doubt:
Dave (laughing) - and that’s for you if you’re going back to school today..
The Beatles and porn films - target referencing from BBC Radio 1. To be fair though I thought the mix of music on today’s show was borderline brilliant - and I can honestly count at least 8 superb songs from today’s diverse batch of 22. Those being from Razorlight, The Beatles, Eminem, Snow Patrol, Guns ‘N’ Roses, Green Day, The Killers and... Oasis.

CELEBRATING TEN YEARS OF OASIS ON THE CHRIS MOYLES SHOW:
Image
(The DVD is out today... and well worth the 15 quid)
So exactly a year *cough* and a week *cough* ago, Oasis released their number one debut album Definitely Maybe in the UK - which now one decade on is still considered to be as important as ever. But before I start sounding like a trail for Lamacq Live (loverly knockers), let’s get to how Chris and the breakfast show team were celebrating the anniversary this morning. There was no Noel Gallagher... but Noel (and Liam) had kindly signed some exclusive Definitely Maybe art work (see it below in Friday’s review) - for Chris to give away on this morning’s show. It’s framed and everything - and Chris badly wanted it to put on the wall in his flat. He was told he couldn’t enter the contest though, which didn’t come as that big of a disappointment seen as though he still has one of those massive posters that him and Emma B half-inched from backstage at the Finsbury Park gigs a couple of years ago.
Dom - Technically stealing... technically illegal
On the line to play for the Definitely Maybe art work instead were Sally and Richard, two lucky callers through on 08700 100 100 after correctly identifying Some Might Say as Oasis’s first ever UK number one single. Sally was an insurance seller from Manchester who now lives in Doncaster, and Richard erm... a Scottish bloke from Inverness. On with the penalty shoot out style true or false quiz then (over a cheesy instrumental of Cigarettes & Alcohol at first), with “definitely” representing true and “maybe” representing false..

THE DEFINITELY MAYBE QUIZ - SALLY:>>>
Q1. The venue in which Alan McGee first discovered Oasis and offered them a multi album deal was The Boardwalk in Manchester?
A1. MAYBE - Correct - 1 point (it was actually King Tut's Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow)

Q2. The first single released by Oasis in the UK was Supersonic?
A2. DEFINITELY - Correct - 1 point

Q3. Before Big Brother Noel joined and they changed their name to Oasis, the band were known as “The Rain”?
A3. DEFINITELY - Correct - 1 point

Q4. Oasis played two massive gigs to over a quarter of a million people at Knebworth in the summer of 1995?
A4. MAYBE - Correct - 1 point (it was 1996)

Q5. The cover of the album “Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants” features the skyline of Paris?
A5. MAYBE - Correct - 1 point
Image
FINAL SCORE - 5/5

THE DEFINITELY MAYBE QUIZ - RICHARD:>>>
Q1. The photograph on the front of the Definitely Maybe album was taken in Bonehead’s front room?
A1. DEFINITELY - Correct - 1 point

Q2. The front cover of “What’s The Story (Morning Glory)” features a photograph taken in London’s Carnaby Street?
A2. DEFINITELY - Wrong - 0 points

Q3. The first Oasis single released in the United States was Wonderwall?
A3. MAYBE - Wrong - 0 points

Q4. The video for Live Forever features former drummer Tony McCarroll getting buried?
A4. DEFINITELY - Correct - 1 point

Q5. The Rolls Royce on the sleeve of the “Be Here Now” album carries the registration plate “SYO 724F”?
A5. MAYBE - Wrong - 0 points
Image
FINAL SCORE - 2/5

Sally therefore won the signed art work by 5 points to 2, and sounded like she was having an orgasm as Chris described it to her. Rach said she was gonna cry. Sally thanked everyone for her prize:
Sally - and Aled is a star as well!
Dave (sounding disgusted) - He answers the phones..
(Sally laughs)

The show was very Oasis heavy today - which is no bad thing by any means. Coming from a huge fan I wish it would be like this more often. Chris opened up the good old text vote for people to decide which track he should play from Definitely Maybe. Not necessarily peoples favourite song on the album (hard to pick just one anyway)... but the song they were most in the mood for. I voted for Cigarettes & Alcohol but would have quite happily heard anything as every single song on there (yes even Digsy’s DINNER) is superb. Dave was pleased though as Slide Away won by a landslide with 46% of all texts. Live Forever, Supersonic and Columbia were second, third and fourth respectively.
- Don’t forget Lamacq Live/The Evening Session Reunion with Steve Lamacq, Jo Whiley and special guest Noel Gallagher tonight between 9 and 11pm.
- The newly released DVD Version of the album is now out in the shops today. I’ve bought already and the documentary is brilliant - well worth getting it for that alone. Other stuff on there include live versions and videos/promos of all 11 Definitely Maybe tracks (plus Sad Song) and some extra stuff on Disc 2 as well. And if I’ve not sold it to you by now then I officially give up.

FATBOY SLIM’S GREAT JOKE, SVEN’S SUBSTITUTIONS AND THIS WEEKS CHART:>>>
Rock n roll Chris was sat in the bath on Friday afternoon when he got an unexpected text. Because it was a joke... from Fatboy Slim. And an awful one at that:
Fatboy’s joke - A man goes to his GP and says “Doctor I think I’m a moth”. “You need to see a psychiatrist” said the GP. “I know” said the man, “but your light was on”
Rrrrrrubish. Chris said he could talk about this safe in the knowledge that Norman would be asleep. Dave complained that there was something missing in the joke and both Rach and Jules didn’t get it at first - prompting a vast number of (mainly rude) jokes to come in on the text. After discussing these (“you’re a trifle death” etc), the team moved on. The subject of Fatboy did arise later in the show though - this when Chris played a version of Slash Dot Dash with a different vocal on it. This has apparently been changed due to sample issues, but Aled obviously didn’t know and came in with the original edit so that Chris could compare and contrast them both. Unfortunately (for Norman) the first is far better. One of the reasons the show didn’t seem to be as good today was because there was hardly any Dom. When there was though it got much better - like when the team were discussing the forthcoming midweek football action and Sven’s genius substitution in Austria on Saturday. This when he took off Steven Gerrard, who was actually trying to tell the bench that Wayne Bridge had got an injury. Chris loved Gerrard’s interview on Sky afterwards. He is mulling over whether to watch England or The Republic Of Ireland on Wednesday night - and in an ideal world wants a bar that’s showing both games. Oh and the Wales - Northern Ireland, Scotland - Slovenia ones too (all of which btw are being shown simultaneously on Sky Sports 1, 2, 3 and Xtra). Chris said they should be showing them at one of those “Cafe Of Sport” type places...
Dom (laughs) - I have lunch there every day: Cafe Of Sport...(all laugh)...whether javelin or discuss, I’m always there to tuck into a sandwich...(Jules and Rach laugh)...or a “sportwich”
Image
(At least he finds the substitution funny)

TEAM FOOTY ROUND UP: WEEK 5>>>
ImageImage
Jules - Port Vale won 2-0 at Bradford in Coca Cola League 1
Rachel - Kidderminster lost 2-1 at home to Leyton Orient in Coca Cola League 2
(No football for Leeds, Everton or Liverpool this weekend due to the internationals)

THIS WEEKS TOP TEN WITH ME

10 (5) goldielookinchain - Gun's Don't Kill People, Rappers Do (the novelty’s worn off now)
9 (4) Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved (Decent)
8 (-) The Pirates feat Enya/Ama/Boss/Ishani - You Should Really Know (What the f*ck?)
7 (-) Embrace - Gravity (Good but not as good as Chris is saying)
6 (3) The 411 - Dumb (Rubbish)
5 (2) 3 Of A Kind - Baby Cakes (Even worse)
4 (1) Natasha Bedingfield - These Words (Suffering from airplay overkill)
3 (-) Twista feat Anthony Hamilton - Sunshine (Apart from the Bill Withers bit - crap)
2 (-) Jo Jo - Leave (Get Out) (Good pop tune)
1 (-) Nelly - My Place/Flap Your Wings (utter tripe. It’s a crime against music this is number one)
Image
*Also a crime against music is the fact that Paul Weller only got to 11 with Wishing On A Star and the fact that The Killers only got to 18 with the superb All These Things That I've Done. Chris and Dave bitched about The Thrills only getting to 22 with Whatever Happened To Corey Haim, but I think that’s about right. They seemed to argue the case for it by saying it’s better than Nelly - but let’s face it, that’s really not that hard.

Daves Tedious Link
Strike U Sure Do - As well as being a word associated with matches and industrial action, “strike” is also a big word in the world of ten pin bowling - Ten pin bowling involves the use of special footwear, as does golf - Golf is played on a course - A course of a different type is what might be plotted by a sailor - “Sailor” is almost an anagram of “Scolari”, as in Luiz Felipe Scolari the manager of Portugal - Portugal is a major producer and consumer of fish - Fish need to be caught - Cort first name Carl now plays for Wolves, having failed to impress at Newcastle - Newcastle was the setting for the Jimmy Nail detective series Spender - If you add the word “big” to spender you get “Big Spender”, which was a hit for Shirley Bassey - Shirley Bassey is Welsh, as are Colin Jackson and Aled - Aled is scared of spiders - Spiders are a good example of a scary animal that begins with the letter “S”, and in that respect share something in common with snakes - and snakes used to be the pet of choice for guitar legend Slash, formerly of Guns ‘N’ Roses - Which links us predictably to Guns ‘N’ Roses and Paradise City

COMEDY DAVE’S SLASH SURPRISE:>>>
Image
(Slash with Colin and Edith on Friday - Hear Part 1 Here and Part 2 Here)
While the former Guns ‘N’ Roses and now Velvet Revolver leg end was in with Colin and Edith on Friday, he had taken time out to record a couple of drops for Chris’s show. The first one was your standard “Hi this is Slash from Velvet Revolver and whenever I’m in the UK I love listening to Chris Moyles on Radio 1”. The second though was slightly different:
*Slash Clip* - Hey this is Slash from Velvet Revolver and I just wanna say Dave... that was a fantastically Tedious Link
Dave was stunned. His eyes lit up (apparently) and over the next minute or so he said “wow”, “wowee”, “fantastic”, “play that again”, “oh I like that” (twice) and “thank you Mr Slash”. Rachel was just laughing. As we all know Slash was born in Stoke, although his voice now is that generic deep American rock star accent you hear a lot:
Chris - I’ve gotta say, I lived in Stoke for a year and never met anyone who spoke like that
*plays drop again*
Dave - I think he moved away when he was young
Chris (in Slash’s deep American accent) - Hi this is Slash and Dave that was a great Tedious Link... mi duck
(Dave and Aled laugh)


MINI MOYLES UPDATE:>>> (thanks to Tipsy Dipsy)
