DJs From My Youth

Posted on by

What on earth were radio and TV stations thinking about when they thrust that shower of shit on the youth of the time?

They were always too fucking old, even when they were young.

David Jacobs.
What teenager could relate to that cunt? Sitting on the Juke Box Jury pontificating if a song would be a hit or miss.

Alan Freeman.
Did you ever know anyone that rushed out to buy the latest cardigan so that they could look as cool as him?

Dave Lee Travis.
Did anyone think that by calling himself The Hairy Cornflake he became less annoying?

Jimmy Saville.
Who dyed their hair black and white and smoked cigars because they were enamoured by that cunt?

Terry Wogan.
Older than most people’s dad’s.

At a time when we would want to copy anyone that was cool, how many people referred to their friends as ‘pop pickers’ or went around saying “Now then, now then, guys and gals”?

These people were shit. Nobody liked them.
They had absolutely no musical ability or appreciation.
They wouldn’t have understood mixing, thinking that it’s something that you do in a bowl in the kitchen.

They used to play ‘pop’ records.
‘Popular’ because we had already gone out to buy them and we already had them in our collection at home.

A useless club of clueless cunts.

  1. Just like today all the cunts on bbc radio were self opinionated arseholes Not “arf “ cunts 😒🐈

  2. Simon Bates is the most boring to listen to cunt in the world. How he got the job I’ll never know.

  3. I agree they have become a useless shower of cunts. Nothing is worse than an old DJ whose glory days have past. Noel Edmunds is an annoying weirdo. The Hairy Cornflake is now a Hairy Scrotum. Terry Wogan is……dead! And as for Saville – well, let’s not go there. The only one that has improved with age is Tony Blackburn because he has at last learnt not too take himself too seriously, unlike other former 70’s DJ’s.

    But in their heyday, when I was a very young Cunting Machine I loved these guys. Radio 1 went on on my small transistor radio as soon as I woke up in the morning. There was something glamorous and innocent about it then and these DJ’s, with their smooth wisecracking, were fantastic. Except Simon Bates – boring cunt.

    • Tony Blackburn gets a pass because hes special needs.
      Not his fault.
      But the rest are guilty!
      You wouldn’t employ these mitmots to mop out a shithouse in the real world.
      Useless cunts to a man.
      And the new superstar Djs are worse!
      Morrissey had the right idea,
      Hang em!!!

  4. Have affectionate memories of Fluff Freeman. Pick of The Pops every Sunday afternoon, 1963, my 10 year old ear glued to the parents radiogram – fucking brilliant!

    Repulsed by Savile instinctively, phoney creepy cunt. The others I was fairly indifferent to. Peel played some good stuff in the late ’60s /early ’70s – Radio One Live In Concert, etc, was tremendous. Never took to his personality though. Tony Blackburn was spew – he could fuck right off!

    • I was on my way out the door when I saw your reply about the furniture. *When the time comes you would be most welcome. I have two decent sets and will most likely only need one depending on the size of the house.

      *I’m afraid at the moment it is a how long is a piece of string scenario regarding the property market though.

      • Thanks for that. I wasn’t being entirely serious though… expecting to pick up something at the British Heart Foundation shop in the next few weeks. Good luck with your move.

      • Ah ok 🙂

        In which case I will smash it up to Holst, Battle of the Planets with a hammer and send the video of that over to the furniture poverty site 😀

      • Through a family member, I have spoken to and met Savis Jacobs on quite a few occasions-he came across as a genuinely nice bloke👍

    • Indeed sir.
      I was only listening to Led Zeppelin live at the BBC the other day.
      Compered by John Peel.
      Class.

  5. I have just had the misfortune to listen to Vernon Kay (Standing in for Steve Wright) part of the way back from Devon and can quite to categorically state is a cunt who spends the majority of time talking about himself at every opportunity!

    I am of the opinion I could quite happily kick him in the face until I ran out of energy and fell asleep!

    Fuck off!

    • He’s a fucking northern bastard too. I don’t actually mind northerners really, but every one of them who’s in the media exaggerates his/her accent to the point of driving me bananas. It’s not cool to sound like a regional fucking retard; got that, you cunts?

  6. I remember post Savile the papers did a hatchet job on the then dead John Peel for shagging underage teen groupies.

    The source for this shocking revelation? His autobiography where he admits it, that was published well over a decade before and nobody reported it or made a fuss.

    • It was par for the course back then. As a 14 year old I would have quite happily been fucked by Marianne Faithful. Would have brought my own Mars bar too!

      • I’m still waiting for Pete Townsends book on the subject to come out. Come on mate you’ve been writing it for over a decade.

      • 🎶
        Little girl guide, why don’t you stop your crying?
        Here comes Pete, I mean Ivor the engine driver, to make you feel much better… 🎶

  8. Kenny Everett was the only one worth a shit, plus his constant shitting on the BBC was always quite welcome.

    • I remember when DLT got the axe. He spoke a long monologue at the end of his last show about what a shitfest the BBC was. But it was all sour grapes. The BEEB were desperately looking for the cut off switch whilst he was droning on. They couldn’t find it.

    • Oh yeah.
      Kenny was great!
      Forgot him, best of a bad bunch.
      I forgive him his sodomy antics due to giving me a chuckle.

    • Oh forgot all about him.

      I agree with this nom, but Kenny was fucking funny. I didn’t mind Wogan either to be honest.

      The rest of ’em?

      Bag o’ shite.

      (Probably the word “Wogan” contains a syllable WordFence doesn’t like – DA)

      • Bloody hell lol

        What a weird word for Arsepress to ban.

        At least I know now, cheers 🙂

    • Kenny Everett’s sketch about Rod Stewart and his inflatable arse is an all time classic.

  9. The best DJ’s ever were Smashey and Nicey.

    Alan Partridge was a boring twat.

  10. Tommy Vance and the Radio 1 Friday Rock Show, was the only thing I ever bothered with on the radio during the 70s an 80s

    There were tedious cunts like Simon Bates’ “Golden Shower.. sorry, Hour”, Gary Davis and Steve fucking Wright in the Afternoon – all of them cunts!

    John Peel was decent, as was Anne Nightingale

    • They had a great, massive fanbase show in The Old Grey Whistle Test and the BBC just canned it in 1988 without warning or ceremony and poor Bob Harris was left in the lurch. Later With Jools Holland (cunt) was great in the 90s then it turned to shit for some reason. They cancelled Top of the Pops in 2005 because music had became so shit and being number 1 meant fuck all.

      The six or seven big corporate media companies run the movies, TV and music that gets pushed to the front now and for some reason it is pure shit and I’ll bet there are AMAZING performers in the world now whose demos are gathering dust on the shelves because their “image” or “attitude” is wrong, ie. they have balls. Keith Moon would terrify the suits today.

      • I like to remember Moon for his cheeky sense of humour.
        Rolling a hand grenade down the aisle on a passenger jet..
        Funny lad!👍👍

      • Never heard of that one! Hunter S. Thompson once threw smoke grenades into a crowded outdoor restaurant so he could get a seat and clear out the pompous clientele!

  11. Radio in it’s Golden Age was a magical thing, these soundwaves coming in from miles away. The radio stations in America were independently owned and ran until the 1980s and they only played the songs that they loved and only did about one advert per hour. Of course they would take bribes (payola) to play songs from a label or the singer’s manager, but you still got amazing music. In Britain it took forever to get that kind of quality, that’s why you had pirate radio like Radio Caroline and Radio Luxembourg then BBC Radio 1 and 2 were reformatted and you got all those naff DJs listed above in the 70s and I’m sure it wasn’t just Sir Jimmy Savile, friend to the Royals, Papal Commander, etc who was up to no good. Yeah, British DJs suck, we never had a Wolfman Jack or Murray the K who were genuinely crazy and only played the music that they and the listeners love. To be a DJ these days must be torture if you have great taste in music and have the play the shite that is cranked out by the corporate music machine.

  12. Absolutely detested Alan Freeman with his constant stupid jingles and bullshit chatter.

  13. I’ll give Wogan a pass. I recall as a kid his commentary on Eurovision. Very witty.

    Savile was always a creep. I tried getting on his show. Lucky escape there, the dirty old bastard.

    Noel Edmunds was always annoying.

    Actually, good nom. They were pretty much all shite. You had the helicopter crashing cunt I remember (forgot his name though).

    Today’s are worse though. Woke cunts, loads of mouthy wimminz and dark keys playing Stormzy and Ed Shitstain all day. Although I’d have rattled that Lauren Laverne senseless about 15 – 20 years ago. I’d just give her a quick scuttle now though, as long as she agreed to make me a sandwich afterwards. If not, she can fucking forget it.

    Nigel Farage was pretty good at it but got banned of course. Surprised he lasted more than ten minutes.

      • Zoe Ball. If she gets any further up the arse of whomever she’s interviewing she’ll see the soles of Dermott O’Leary’s feet. The cunt.

      • Hopeless cunt, only got the gig because of her dad (Johnny “think of a number Ball)👎

    • Why would you want to inflict that on us?

      Best DJ was John Peel, used to play some really good stuff that no-one else would even have heard of, and also liked Mike Ahern on Radio Caroline for the same reason.

      • It was bad. It was BAD.
        Mawkish is not the word.

        I must say radio one was on the whole time growing up.

        And, let’s be honest, how popular it was. In the knicker factory where I worked the whole place listening to it.

        My mate had a cassette for him and his girlfriend in the car ‘our tunes’.

        .

    • How could we forget that tune? Although I must admit I always switched the radio of at that point.

      • No – Bates was such a bore. We wanted happy chat not miserable sob stories.

      • No!!!! If the Russians wanted to invade, all they’d have had to do was wait until 1100 hrs on a weekday and there’d have been fuck-all to stop them! In fact, they’d have been ‘Politely’ told to keep the fucking noise down!

    • @Miles – I saw you as more of a Bach or Brahms fan. Perhaps even Edvard Grieg or Prokofiev

      • Yes In was a bit snooty even back then Harold. See I was into ‘Prog Rock,’ while others were into ‘pop’ music. Quickly when Punk hit it became suddenly naff. Then I discovered or rather re-discovered the great 3 minute pop song.
        In fact the simpler the song the better for me now.
        (Not dissing great PR though. Which I will pig out on at certain times)
        But yes the simpler the song. One of my favourites is- ‘Everyday’ by Slade.

  15. When Savile came on the radio or TV my aged mother would switch it off.
    When I asked her why she did that her reply was “There’s something not right about him. I can’t put my finger on it but he’s hiding something”.

    • I know where your mother was coming from IG. Some years ago I visited someone on a Saturday evening where they had that “Jim’ll fix it” programme on the television. I caught a brief clip where Savile was in a vintage car with the lord Montague of Beaulieu and a young lad sitting between them. I left feeling distinctly uncomfortable.

  16. Craig Charles is a great DJ, The Craig Charles House Party is great fun, plays lots of obscure but great stuff as well as the well known classics.

    People listen to music in different ways now. Having 33,000 songs on something that fits in your pocket (256 gig iPod) is crazy. No annoying DJ, no adverts, no depressing news on the hour. In 20 years, I doubt there will be radio stations. Too expensive to run and the companies are shifting their adverts elsewhere.

    • A Radio DJ I do miss is Mark Lamarr. He used to have show on Radio 2 that covered a wide range of artists and his research was impeccable. He always used to ask interesting questions to the guests which were always informative and revealed a lot of depth about the ins and outs of their music and their life in general. A far cry away from the piss taking cunt that he was on Nevermind the Buzzcocks.

      • Yeah, Lamarr just seemed to disappear after he left Buzzcocks which was a money for old rope show if ever there was one, so he must really have been sick of it, it wasn’t a act when he showed disdain for the cunts on the show. He loved travelling to America to go to those record warehouses that have 100,000s of rare records, so I guess he made enough money to retire and listen to music.

      • I like Mark Lamarr.
        Used to like Vic & Bob teasing him.
        “Lovely greasy Mark Lamarr,
        Hes a 1950s binman!”

  17. Never listened to the cunts. The BBC has been trying for decades to connect with “the kids” and apart from Rolf Harris, Savile and that cunt King has never managed it.

  18. Growing up in the 80s meant that “music on demand ” was calling the DJ (cunt) if you could get through and requesting a song. The cunt would say “Alright we’ll get that right on for you!” Wrong! About 7 hours later you would hear the song once you were away from the record button.
    Good old days.

  20. Great nom. I managed to identify every one of those phony fuckers. Kenny Everett was about the only one with any talent I reckon. John Peel was totally overrated. I bet he would be woke if he was still around.

  21. Anyone listen to this?

    https://www.boomradiouk.com/

    Excellent station, no playlists, just great music from, believe it or not, they’ve played stuff from the 40’s to the present day. Radio 2 can fuck off, now, apart from ‘Popmaster’. We were at a cardiac arrest and the bloke in arrest’s wife had the radio on and I asked her to switch over to Radio 2 when half ten came around.

    (I’m joking…)

    • Just started listening to Boom at work. Excellent station. I was belting out Mac The Knife. Diddy David Hamilton was DJing.

  22. Like Blue Peter presenters in the 80s, DJs went from the age range of being like uncles to the age range of slightly older brothers and sisters.

    Pete Murray seems to have been a fairly decent person. Savile definitely wasn’t.
    Dave Lee Travis seems to have the same schtick as Justin Lee Collins – whatever happened to him?

  23. I quite liked Mark n’ Lard, although they got repetitive.

    Old DJ’s who don’t die or do porridge, end up on Radio 2.

  25. I used to like Ed ‘Stewpot’ Stewart. Happy memories of Junior Choice, with my mum and I used to love hearing him do the show on Christmas Day. Genuinely gutted when he died, and, if I’m working, Christmas Day’s not been the same, since. He read out a dedication, one year to all ambulance crews working at Christmas! Wasn’t from me, honest!

  26. Always used to have Simon Mayo’s drive time show on in the car then the beeb put some God-awful tart on with him and it totally fucked a good show Simon soon fucked off and now Sara Cox has the slot and she’s awful. Fucking hate the beeb.

    • He does the drivetime show on ‘Greatest Hits’, now. Listen to it as our trucks haven’t got DAB, (roll on the new model Mercs!), so we listen to it rather than Sara Cox.

      • Evening DCI. How’s your colleague that was hit by COVID?
        Did he have to retire or keep a position in the service?

      • Evening Bertie. He recovered, which, quite frankly, was a miracle. He can’t remember anything about it. Was on a ventilator for ages, and is now home. Still works for the Trust, but, I’m not sure he’ll ever crew a frontline ambulance again, which is sad, but, at least he’s alive! And the cunt’s still got his stethoscope! Thanks for asking👍

  29. Probably nostalgia but i used to love listening to Alan Freeman’s pick of the pops, Kenny Everett and Simon Dee.

  30. Other cunts:

    Ed ‘Stewpot’ Stewart
    David ‘Diddy’ Hamilton
    Emperor Rosko
    Steve ‘Cunt’ Wright
    Mike Read

    And then there was the dull as dishwater 90s cunts like Mark Goodier, Mike Smith, Simon Mayo, Bruno Brookes, and that odious cunt, Nicky Campbell.
