radio nova

I've noticed they don't play Picture This.

Looking back through their early hour playlist for Sunday morning on IrishRadiolive.com, I found that they did play, around 12:49am... "Talk You Down" by The Script.

And only a short while after a Bad Company, Kinks, Van Halen triple-play...

To me thats the way its been for years on that station.. same songs day in and day out.. they may change one or two per week but it just gets borning after a while..

oh and whoever does there ads neets to be sacked! shocking bad almost inturn level stuff…

4 Non Blondes - "What's Going On?"

Neil Young - "Keep On Rocking in the Free World"

The irishradiolive "recently played" section is hilarious. Can they not get the song titles of the aforementioned two songs right?

Edit: Just thought of another one. "Last Night" by The Strokes.

Kieran McGuiness is growing on me a lot the last few weeks/months. Always plays a good range of songs and is full of decent chat.

I heard Black Dog by Led Zeppelin yesterday evening on Radio Nova. I don't recall ever hearing that particular song on Nova before.

Edit: with the possible exception of Pat James' Off the Record at some stage, when it used to be on Radio Nova as opposed to online sister station Nova Classic Rock.

The daytime playlist is getting a lot less rocky. Lots of George Ezra, Keane etc. Don't like it.

Yeah, Mumford? F off. Dee woods , f off.

They were better, more honest ten tears ago

"Beat It" is a great song.

I recall in the early days of Radio Nova that Enda Murphy used to present in the evenings - the slot now occupied by Greg Gaughren. I happened to hear Enda one evening when he was playing/reading snippets of something like the greatest guitar riffs. One of them was that guitar solo from Eddie van Halen on Michael Jackson's Beat It. I remember Enda saying something along the lines of that of course they would not play the whole song as it did not fit into Radio Nova's music. It seems that this view has been revised since.

Mumford & Sons are the band you're probably thinking of.

I got into a bit of a spat with one of the presenters a few years ago because I put up a post saying that it was a good job that Nova shared the same building as Classic Hits, they could nip downstairs and grab their cd's and play them as there was little to choose between them.

When it first started it was quite a decent station, but now it's just another Radio Bland FM.
I know they have to play the game, but any station that plays the above and Dermot Kennedy, Duran Duran, Soft Cell and UB40 as much as they do is just the same as every other station.

Oh for the days of the test transmissions when it really played some great stuff.

Only listen in on the drive into work in the morning, just can't handle the banal deejay talk anymore, and the same songs over and over and over again….

But that's just me..
