What annoys me is that seemingly 99% of LBP stations these days are all playing dance music, as are Radio 1 and even the local commercials here at weekends.
Now don't get me wrong, I did the second summer of love in fields raving me tits off on acid, but dance music is not to sit down and listen to on the radio.
Apart from a few notable exceptions (nods to WNKR and Enigma) it seems that MAR is the only LBP playing music that isn't already catered for legally.

Quoting a previous DAVE RICHARDS contribution:-
referred to by
Steve Martin on this board as 'people needing to be worshipped for what
they once did many years ago, and failed to do more recently',a) Steve Martin never said that. I said that.
I do apologise to Steve, I clearly read that in a hurry.
b) I wasn't referring to you. I don't even know who you are or what
you be doing these days or those days!
Apologoes to you Christopher I was a Magician's Assistant, not even aspiring to the Magician I am afraid.
Ha ha.

Ok, if you are going to use Photoshop to place 'WLS' onto the side of a picture of a ship, then at least deal with the perspective so that the lettering is rotated properly to the correct orientation (I think it's one of the 'transform' options or something).
Nobody would in real life write letters onto the side of a ship skewed to be seen properly from 20% to the right – well, unless they were cleverly writing stuff onto a playing field that then 'appears' to 'stand up' for the cameras.
Oh, and some trying to blend the letters into the same 'age' and pixelation as the red paint might help too.
Anyway, why is there always this constant barrage of wind-up pretend radio stations 'coming'? At least my picture a year and a half ago of the ship-borne CFA was far more convincing and those with a sense of humour even cracked a smile. Oh look, there it is:

Ah, so in radio terms you'd be suited to... Magic 105.4???
Heh heh.
PS – You mentioned on Garry Stevens' board that you believed posts here are edited (or something like that).
Wrong! Smack your wrists with a wet fish, sir.
Nothing is edited or censored here whatsoever, ever. The only thing that happens is that the very first post you ever make after joining is 'moderated', meaning held back. This is purely to make sure you are not a spambot having signed up to tell everybody how they need Viagra (Damn them, how do they know anyway??).
As soon as your first post is manually examined to make sure it's not spam, then all your subsequent posts are live and as you write 'em.
From that point as soon as you post stuff it immediately goes off as email to all those who have 'live' email deliveries selected. So, once your posts are sitting comfortably in people's Inboxes, how can they be edited by any moderators? They can't.
There can sometimes be a slight delay before they appear on the website, but that is nothing deliberate just the technology and net-lag catching up (It's to do with a post becoming a piece of email that is then emailed to the website and the website having to uncrunch it and display it. Asleep yet? :-) ).
We are also amazing tolerant here too. We even let through people who join purely to leave posts that advertise other anoraky places, rather than join in with our actual conversations. Now that's our dedication to upholding the value of real free speech. I doubt you'll find many other radio boards and forums doing that!
My goodness, what a brilliant place we are. And, you get the added bonus of this being the only radio anorak board/forum I ever post on.

This has always been the way. I remember it from the soul shows on Capital. I've never understood why dance or party music is played on Friday / Saturday nights on the radio. I don't see the correlation with going out – unless maybe people only listen to dancey stuff when they are getting ready to head for a dancey-stuff playing club.
It's as mad as when it's footie season all the kids play footie in the street, yet when it's cricket season they all play cricket.
(See what I did there? I used the word 'footie'. This is part of me becoming more and more Scouse ahead of me replacing Pete Price, see.)
Apart from a few notable exceptions (nods to WNKR and Enigma) it seems
that MAR is the only LBP playing music that isn't already catered for
legally.
The problem really is understanding the vast 'genre' differentials within what outsiders refer to as 'dance' music. Most legal stations on a Friday / Saturday night only pander to the commercial house brigade. That's the music typically played in the various meat markets that the orange coloured tarts go out to at weekends and try to balance on their stilettos to.
(See what I did there? Yep, made it about Liverpool. I'm on a roll with this blending into the scene here. Pete Price's days are so numbered.)
Yet, there's mega following for more specialist dance genres, which is why in London there are Grime stations, RnB stations, Rap stations, Garage stations, bla bla bla, not to mention huge non-meat market venues heaving to the relevant sounds at the weekend. So, people into these genres want their music 24/7 I guess, just as Country anoraks do.

Blast!!!! Damn it.... just as I was breaking records on the orgasmic scale then you and Steve caused me to become flacid again. Are you telling me that WLS isn't real?!
Where and how do you find these gems? Who the f**k has got so much time on their hands to try and fool us anoraks? Why? Why I ask myself. There I was all excited and convinced the offshore era just might be coming back.
I finally put my foot through the TV when I heard about WLS but you've just deflated my excitment! Thanks guys, next you'll be telling me my dancing Iggle Piggle is not real and just some character made up by someone on drugs at the BBC.
Da Guff

This statement makes me dribble at my end bit too "Copyright: Wonderful London Sounds Media. All Rights Rerserved" - so if i copied it, made up a web site called 'Wonderful Londis Sounds' and displayed that very picture in front of a Londis supermarket with the ship displaying WLS as is on the very picture in question, some dick head is going to challenge me and take me to court? The 'Spoon' who come up with that is actually going to go public and take me to court?
It's enough to make your rectum implode with laughter

NO, NO ITS NOT, ITS NOT I TELL YOU, YOU ARE ALL TELLING LIES, IT'S THE TWELTH OF NEVER! I BELIEVE, I BELIEVE, I'VE SMASHED UP ALL MY NON AM RADIOS!!!! NOW STOP IT PLEASE AND TELL ME ITS REAL! SOMEONE PHOTOSHOP AN ANTENNA ON IT AND TELL ME ITS REAL. A DUSTBIN LID WOULD DO!!!!! Hold on, is that ship docked on the Isle of Mann somewhere?, could it be.....errrr WLS - Wave Long Ship 279?
PS Err yes, Doctor Who was a pile of sweaty socks too this week, as ever. Bring back Tom Baker!!!

Yeah, I use Opera on my trusty N95. I don't get why so many seem to
'love' the Blackberry over the N95 though. * Christopher England just said that *
Blackberry sounds more appealling then N95 which sounds like an European Autobahn. That's it really, like you say, sheep, sheep who like aspiring names for gadgets rather than a piece of kit named N101 that probably knocks spots off the 'Blue Berry' what ever camp name its called.
Could you imagine today's New Man mincing into Boots buying a new brand of skin cream or fake tan called N95 or a new Hair Product called J87 and saying 'I'm worth it'? No, its sound like cream you'd rub on your nuts after a night with an arabic man tart.
Blackberry sounds much more camp and in tune with today's new man. These marketeers are marvells at focusing products on today's gutless, hair tuned, WKD drinking oddballs.
Be a man, use the back of your ciggy packet instead of some ponced up alarm clock with a fancy poofy name like Stawberry.
Yer, I still use Brut! I am man and I'm worth it (Lifts ones leg as I let one rip to prove it)

Don't you be worrying about that, son, there's something that I know that you don't know. I don't think it would be right at this stage to even hint at any part of the project which is known as 'the project'. However, trust me, it won't be long before there's a ship at sea. Yes, I can promise you that there will definitely be a ship in the North Sea. Remember you heard me not say anything about it here first.

Theres always a friggin ship in the North Sea, the likeliness of a radio ship is akin to space ship from zog broadcasting in zogabic via a minuet in East Ham.

I'm not biting. All I can say is that the N95 IS like an European Autobahn. Fast, furious, and with an unlimited top speed. And you can take pictures of cats with it.
No, its sound like cream you'd rub on your
nuts after a night with an arabic man tart.
Surely the whole function of an Arabic man tart is to apply the cream during said night? I'm guessing.
