Please please me...

okay sorry to all oldie posters if a thread like this has appeared before but I'm only ickle so I'm allowed to make mistakes!
In the spirit of the festive season I'd like to suggest a few class acts that don't seem to get as much airplay as the usual phantom suspects.
It's only a suggestion so the ppl with the power can do as they see fit with it
Please Sir may I have some more...
Archive, Ben Harper, Ben Christopher, Lamb, Portishead, Ben Kweller, Hawksley Workman, Jack Johnson, Mazzy Star, Love, Captain Beefheart ( cause Big Daddy listens everyday and complains that he never hears these!!), Pete Yorn...
Um I can't think of others, I really had this worked out in my head, anyway,I love the station but variety is the spice of life, so if ya could squeeze some in I'd love you all forever!!!

Thanx,
The rather lovely Madeline:D

Hi

If you want to hear 'em request 'em! Text or e-mail your Phantom FM DJ. Mind you, and I stand corrected, that none of the mentioned artists have released anything in the last while, which probably explains why you don't hear them that often.

PS - WHile we see all requests coming in we can't always play them for a whole variety of reasons. Be patient! All requests played are logged and are noted by our Music Dept.

LOve

and mazzy star too hehe

Lamb are incredible. They supported MOBY! That piece of bollcock! What the ****?

BrianD, I request all the time just my credit has hit an all time low ( poor student!!) so I was just suggesting maybe putting a few tracks in, that's all, old stuff is played on Phantom all the time I don't think that you only choose tracks that are new, do ya?!!!
I can't believe Lamb played with Moby, couldn't have been bothered paying to see him and to make matters worse some Knackeraguan stole my Fear of Fours album at a party recently! Grrr!!! Love- Forever Changes album has got to be in my alltime top ten, I saw them play in the summer with a recently released from prison Arthur Lee and was one of the best gigs I've seen this year, would definitely recommend people try and see them if they play again!!!

I love Love. Forever Changes is sooo great. It was one of those albums I just bought on impulse.. I love when that happens.:D

thedrowner

oh
what kind of music do love play

sounds like i might like them

and this should be a valid way of getting dj's to know there's some more songs that we want to hear that theyre not playing. when we say we request them we get told that they dont have the time and we should make suggestions to the dj, when we make suggestions to the dj we get told we should try requesting them

*sheeeesh*

wow

ive just had my first go at phantom

go me

when loyal listeners turn over to the dark side pt 1

Must be my influence finally starting to take hold.

thedrowner

yes........*thats* what it was

madeline

Hmmm how to explain Love's music, the way i'd describe them is a little like the Doors, but they came before them so really I don't know who else to compare them with!!!!

We do have the Love album "Forever Changes" in the studio. If you are requesting anything from it, to make it easier, tell the DJ it is album number 777 in the library.

It's actually mine - I brought it in to play something from it last year, accidently left it behind, and next time I came in it had been "assimilated". Don't mind though, it'll give more pleasure that way than gathering dust in my bedroom

(actually it gave me one of my best one-liners on the morning show - I'd been searching for it amongst all the stuff in boxes that I'd brought over from the UK when I moved back here, so I was able to say that "I spent most of last night looking for love in a cupboard" )

OK, OK, simple things please simple people . . .

Good man yourself Steve.
As for Love i highly recommend them drowny..id say you would like them and recently ive been introducing them to many friends with a high success rate!! Kinda Doorsy I suppose but with some truly truly bizarre lyrics and some damn funky use of brass instruments!!

thedrowner
