Other National Stations, Magic, Heart And The Bigger Commercial Stations Are Proponents Instead Of Leaders When It Comes To Selecting The Music They Play.
So Keith Richards has saved 'oldies ' station Angel Radio from going to the wall. In the meantime, Ronnie Wood is the saviour of Emphatic Radio with his new show that is raking in record listeners. Bob Dylan's on Radio 2 - what next, Bizarre Al Yankovich's all-hit breakfast show on Radio Lollipop? !
Seriously though, it's fantastic that our elderly statesmen of rock are taking to the airwaves - well, I suppose if your new album's no longer assumed deserving of airplay on our national stations, why not take over a show, so you can play whatsoever you want?
But I want to see a bit of a shake-up in the way the music we hear on our national stations is selected. I am specifically thinking about Radio 1 here.
Radio two is a brilliant station nowadays with an eclectic playlist, whose alteration was masterminded by former controller Lesley Douglas and continues to develop thru creative programming, excellent documentaries and superb live sessions and shows.
Other state radio stations, Sorcery, Heart and the larger commercial stations are followers rather than leaders when it comes to choosing the music they play.
Radio 1 however appears to have got caught in a self-obsessive spiral in pretty much the same way as it probably did in the 90s, when its output turned the station into a pirate radio-sounding wind tunnel of incessant and faceless dance music that was nearly unlistenable ( and I say that as fan of the class, having grown up with house music as my teenage soundtrack ).
Radio 1 has once again become too cool for school and ghettoized, caught in a groove where the playlist is dominated by same-sounding dubstep pop, which barring one or two exceptions such as the glorious Chase & Status and Nero, is back to its mid-nineties low point.
What I think we need are way more representative and varied playlists at radio, where there's a chance for all of these genres to shine and share the airwaves. As it stands at Radio 1 - or so I am informed by the leading radio pluggers in the business - everything needs to be stood up for by a tastemaker or come from a specific scene ( currently dubstep ) to stand a chance of airplay support.
Therefore, daytime output is deluged with one generic sound and all the other genres are locked out till a chink in the armour appears wide enough for a band ( or a singer or a duo etc ) who have mobilized enough support to wreck thru.
For the last 2 years the talk in the bizz has been about how things are going to shift back towards guitar bands. But so far, this has not materialised, because labels can't get the support from producers because all they would like to play is dubstep because they believe that is what the children want and are listening to.
If they only went out to gigs and festivals as much as I do and saw the range of acts and sorts of music that young 16-24 year olds are really into, then our national airwaves would sound significantly different. Younger people out there love folks, they love acoustic singer-songwriters, they love reggae, pop, guitar bands, female singers, couples, boy bands and girl bands and they love them all of the time.
What do you think happens to all of the fans of guitar bands or singer composers or soul singers when that class of music isn't given national airplay, in periods of mono-sonic doldrums? They don't just cease to exist. They're still out there, but they do not have any exposure to the acts that satisfy their tastes, which is a massive missed opportunity for radio stations keen to improve their reach.
You'll argue that that's where 6 Music shines, but I think that all radio stations should have open minds rather than limited focus. BBC's Introducing is an excellent and well-executed conduit for music, but in this digital age where it might be simpler to make and distribute music, the difficulty is still exposure.
One ray of light nationally is the amazing Extraordinary Radio, which is innovatively taking the BBC's Introducing format one step further and featuring music from their amazingtunes.com site. Fans choosing the music effectively, moderated by a team of established music industry presenters like the fizzy Gill Mills, with her new music show and Jim Gellately up in Scotland, as well as the Guardian's music man Paul Lester.
Another excellent platform that has emerged is the UK Council's Selector Radio show. Lately designated for a BT Digital Music Award for Best Show and fronted by Goldierocks, the show promotes British music globally.
The show currently goes out on FM in more than 30 nations worldwide to an audience of more than 3,000,000. Bands such as Dinosaur Pile Up and artist Jamie Woon, whose music has been played on the non-playlist restricted show, have found new audiences in countries as far apart as Mexico and Kazakhstan.
Dinosaur Pile Up received so much interest in Mexico City that they ended up going out there and playing to a sell out crowd of more than three thousand folks in a country they'd never formerly been to as reported tagza.com.
