Dont worry OU, you're still relevant

I think that word gives away your age anyway

I said that on puspose, to be in keeping with the mood of the thread. No really...

 

[marty21]

i dunno, wireless is now a hip word, it's been reclaimed by hipsters and groovsters

Don't listen to the radio
Don't watch TV
Only bother with the freesheets for the sudoko - no other papers
I've pretty much cut myself free from mainstream culture and news - off the internet anyway. On the net, I can control what I want to see

I watched a film with my gf over the weekend and when she pointed out that one of the actors was Johnny Depp, I could honestly say that I had never seen the blokes face before.

Is that out of touch?

That's just impossible.

Mind you, he is a very good actor, as well as a dish, so maybe you just didn't recognise him in that part.

Hven't you seen Edward Scissorhands?

Youv'e missed out then ! The stuff he did before Pirates of the Caribaean and then everyone started going on about hiom was really good !

I am guessingh it doesnt get much airtime on radio 4 so I am unlikely to have heard it either..


mind you I am in the "young at heart" club too

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

I've just found out that a tune called Umbrella by Rhianna has been number 1 for 10 weeks, yet I've not heard of it AFAIK. Does this mean I'm too old?

catch up grandad

eta: I saw it on Live Earth and she was rubbish. other than that my knowledge of it comes from readding BBC News.

 

[subversplat]

Just another post to echo that it is a truly horrible song.

I also have suffered this. I don't care.

what's an "ipod"?

I thought about getting one but I couldn't seem to make it play my cassette collection

 

[Relahni]

Can you record the charts on these ipods?

 

[marty21]

Can you record the charts on these ipods?

you could download them, to get the top 40 would cost about £30, not like the old days when a cassette would take them all for a couple of quid

and they call it progress

 

[King Biscuit Time]

I know it's been number one for ages. But I've never heard it.

The only music radio I listen to is people who's opinions I respect talking about and playing music that there's a good chance I'm gonna like. Other than that it's Radio 4 all the way.

I do like to read papers though - and thats how I know about this umbrella song.

I'm 26 btw.

 

[marty21]

plus, you used to have to edit out all the voices of the djs, i don't want to hear you kid fucking jensen

 

[King Biscuit Time]

Can you record the charts on these ipods?

You could listen-again to the chart rundown and rip it as an MP3 to stick on your ipod.

Or

You could just nick the songs you like with soulseek or Kazaa or whatever. This is the modern day equivalent of the clunky, taped off the radio, press play and record (and pause) then let off pause the second Mark Goodyear shuts the fuck up tapes of old.

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

You see I have started to buy CD's again because I am never happy with the rips and compressions of downloaded music. Is that old gittish enough?

 

[rutabowa]

do kids really follow the charts nowadays tho?

 

[King Biscuit Time]

I said "I'M NOT HAPPY WITH THE COMPRESSION RATIO!"

8track is much better

I think you might be right.

I have seen Edwards Scissorhands, yes.

 

[Badgers]

I had not heard the song, heard of the artist or had any idea of ANYTHING that is happening in the charts for years....

 

[The_Reverend_M]

I've not hear it either,but then,I don't listen to radio,or watch mtv.

same here. once I realised it had been at number 1 all this time I went and watched it on youtube over the weekend

 

[pinkmonkey]

I know it's number one, but I haven't heard it yet. I listen to Radio Four, you know.

you'll have to wait until it's on desert island discs

 

[N_igma]

i'm only 20 and i've never heard it either.

Same here, I haven't paid attention to the singles chart in years. It's a loada balls.
