I'm sure he has to ask the music management to make sure he can play the track.

[Uglybob]

he doesnt ask everyday, what i mean dave gets a list of how many songs, lets say 100, shows it to management and they go "ok well let you have van halen but you cant have in the army now by status quo.

[easytoplease]

very interesting...

[Sionide]

dave does pick the tracks! chris just said on air, cos it was Spice Girls - Wannabe, and chris said "it's dave's choice, not mine!"

[Ickle Angel]

He does pick them but as Bob says management say which he can play and which he cant

[Sionide]

tis indeed the case..

[Sidders]

Nobody picks them... where the link goes, nobody knows!

[Mcqueen_]

I thought Dave picked them and management approved (or declined) them. However, didn't they once play a song for tedious link they couldn't understand why the music department gave it them to play?

Not that it's really important anyway...

[iSeb]

What are they thinking..... Spice Girls - Wannabe??????

[Dopey]

I'm thinking that the music department now chooses their songs (since the start of breakfast) otherwise while in portugal, dave figures out where the link goes then the music deparment then sends a CD on a plane. otherwise it would have to be placed on their VCS machine

[Sionide]

umm.. i *think* they generally use mini-discs and more digital sound files on computer rather than CDs I think you'll find, however - for Buzz Off, they use Chris' own personal CDs, which are VERY varied it seems!!

sarcasim Sionide... sacrasim...

infact Radio 1 are slowly fading out minidisc use. Minidisc isnt up to scratch on CD quality when it comes to DAB bit rates etc... You'll notice on the general OB's now, all songs are played off CD when it used to be minidisc. and when in the studio its nearly all VCS, other than Buzz Off.

[David]

Surely you couldnt have thought that this was true...

otherwise while in portugal, dave figures out where the link goes then the music deparment then sends a CD on a plane

[Sionide]
