@tobytarrant @RadioX Just watched the film: how about Pretty in Pink by Psychedelic Furs for the #requesthour

[Jim Booker @JimBooker2]

@RadioX I have seen the future of rock’n’roll and it is called @wunderhorse

[Jim Booker @JimBooker2]

#IOW2025 loving New Yard live. A kind of deconstructed @jungle ?

[Jim Booker @JimBooker2]

@RadioX @danocdj Dan, just found an absolute beauty from @BrianFallon1 ‘You Have Stolen My Heart’. Lead singer, of course, for @gaslightanthem (so definitely indie qualified!). Would be magical on Sunday’s Chilled show.

@RadioX @dangasser @linkinpark got my vote for record of the year. Rawness and sentiment and banging vocals blew the rest away!

[Jim Booker @JimBooker2]

@RadioX @danocdj Got to be @linkinpark ! They blew it out the stadium with the new tune! So much raw power. Got my vote.

[Jim Booker @JimBooker2]

@danocdj @RadioX Loving new @OhDoves_ . I get a real Blade Runner feel from it. And that is no bad thing!

[Jim Booker @JimBooker2]

@RadioX @dangasser How good were @thecourteeners last night in Brixton! Superb live band!

[Jim Booker @JimBooker2]

@RadioX @dangasser Dan, saw @richardashcroft at the Royal Albert Hall end of last month and can say it was one of the best gigs I have seen in a very long time. And plenty of Verve songs, his final tune being a triumphant Bittersweet Symphony!

[Jim Booker @JimBooker2]

@RadioX @IssyPanayis Remember Issy, GMT is ‘normal time’; BST is ‘fake time’ ( that is summer is daylight all day!). Great shows by the way!

[Jim Booker @JimBooker2]

@RadioX I do find it rather ironic that @springsteen is probably the biggest influence in new indie music and yet he is not on the playlist (apart from that awful Christmas song!). @danocdj how about one of his #chilled tunes tonight (The River?)?

[Jim Booker @JimBooker2]

@RadioX @IssyPanayis By the way Issy, you are going to love, love, love @lastdinnerparty tomorrow night. Saw them last night and it is mighty, awesome show (and quite sweaty!)!

[Jim Booker @JimBooker2]

@RadioX @IssyPanayis Loving the new @CircaWaves tune. Quite some @arcadefire influence perhaps?

[Jim Booker @JimBooker2]

@RadioX @danocdj Got my tickets to see Richard Ashcroft at the Royal Albert Hall, with all the strings and everything: cannot wait!

[Jim Booker @JimBooker2]

@danocdj @RadioX Must say new @linkinpark is a banging belter (even with the pathos). And Emily has a tremendous voice!

[Jim Booker @JimBooker2]

@danocdj @RadioX The new Yanis track has a really good @jungle4eva groove to it. Fab stuff.

[Jim Booker @JimBooker2]

@PollyJames We are all Sally.

[Jim Booker @JimBooker2]

@brianmoore666 Been in the queue since 08:46.

[Jim Booker @JimBooker2]

@_Wolfenden @RadioX Rich, banging Friday show as ever! Gammon with mac’n’cheese eaten. Now a newspaper, glass of red, and the Indie Night. Early night as there is something important that I need to get up for. Laptop and mobile primed! 55 and been waiting years for this!

[Jim Booker @JimBooker2]

@tobytarrant @RadioX Tobes, look at it another way. Say 750,000 people are applying for each venue, that would be 3.75 million people applying. Odds not so great then. But, I have three entries to the ballot so I am definitely in (weeping while typing)!
