  Killjoy Radio
Edith Bowman, Radio 1FM, Friday afternoon (I'm paraphrasing): "OK, we've had a text sent in from Jay and Kelly saying 'Having a great afternoon chilling out in the amazing sunshine on a beach in Cornwall, could you play us something summery to dance to?' Would be our pleasure - Jay and Kelly, this is for you, I think this is gonna sound great on the beach..."

At which point Edith played...'Intervention' by The Arcade Fire. I mean, good song and everything, but as far as sunny, good time, beer and a barbeque beach party material goes it ain't exactly Surfin' USA, is it? "Everybody! 'Working for the church while your family dies!' Yeah! Limbo!"

At first I thought this was just mildy amusing, just another 1 Eff Emm dumb disco-jockey blunder, the type of clueless gaff one can hear at pretty much any given time during their day-time schedule. But the more I thought about it, the more convinced I became that Bowman has unconciously stumbled across a really great radio format: Killjoy Radio! Jarringly Innapropriate Song Selections To Ruin Your Every Mood! Bumming You Out and Stomping All Over Your Good Vibes Around The Clock! Get your sad on, with Killjoy Radio!

(In super-hyped late-night dance DJ 'stylee'): "BOOOM! DJ Spin in the area, taking you through 'till 2am, right outta the box, keeping it fresh, you know it's gonna be ab-so-lutely MASSIVE! Aww Yeeaah! Friday night, wanna hear all your shout-outs, what you're doing tonight, the parties, the raves, where it's all KICKING OFF BIG TIME, let us know on Text 1298! Gotta shout out to Baz, Mazza, Bazza, and all the Beer Monster Crew 'aving it triple large down in Southhampton this evening, just says 'Play us something to go absolutely mental to' - can do, boys, go absolutley mental: this is Jeff Buckley's Halleluja! BOOOM!"

How good would that be?
 
Comments:
Michael Parkinson on his Sunday show thingy on Radio 2: " I've recently been digging out a few old LPs of jazz artists from the late 50's coffee house-era New York scene and have been enjoying the verve and soul in these wonderfully organic recordings. Let's hear a selection, starting with a gentle ditty to get us in the mood."

MUSIC: "I'm a fire starter....twisted fire starter [BOOM DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH....BOOOOM DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH..."]
 
"Welcome to Gaydar FM - good music for gays of all kinds! Here's the latest from Beenie Man! Enjoy Mo Fo's"
