URN

So, I've been a member of URN for approximately 5-6 years now. (No, I'm not failing at university, I'm doing a PhD...) and I have 5 shows left. Including today's.

So, in order to go out with a BANG, and keeping in line with the usual songs I play, I thought I would do a countdown to the the BEST nostalgic song OF ALL TIME!

I want you to help me come up with the top 50 songs, as I thought it would be a bit selfish to make it myself. Therefore, if you follow the link below and choose your favourite songs, that would be AMAZING.

From Backstreet Boys to System of a Down, Razorlight to Supergrass, Pendulum to Rick Astley, you can choose.

It's all in the name of all that is good (and occassionally cheesy!) in music...

We've all seen those trashy magazines sitting on the shop rail. You look at them and you think - 'Really?'; 'No way!'; 'She put the what in the where now?'

But how easy would it be to identify the story if some of the headline were blanked out? And that's what today's show (12-2pm) is about. Below, you will see a collection of trashy magazine titles, and throughout the show, I want you to guess the missing word.

I will be revealing the answers throughout the show, so stay tuned...

Good luck!

For the person who texted in who wanted to know how the above could possibly happen, here is the link to the magazine page:

It's a little bit gross for me to mention on-air!

URN clearly already has over a gazillion listeners, but we aimed to take it global! To do this we sent three Travel Bugs to travel all over the world.

We put the travel bugs in the Geocache closest to the University, which happens to be on the Campus! We headed over there and placed three Travel Bugs in the cache where they could be picked up by the next cacher to visit.

Today I'm conducting a survey into what famous people you went to school with. To get your name and your celebrity up on here, send me a free webtext on our homepage! I'm with you until 2 o'clock today so send them in :)

Stu went to school with the lovely Cat Deeley and he has this to say:

"The Deputy Head still receives her calendar from her every year and displays it in her office!"

Alex went to school with Matt Horne off of Gavin and Stacey:

Giles' mum went to school with Rowan Atkinson and his uncle went to school with Jeremy Clarkson. Amazing!

Natalia's (10-12pm) friend James obviously comes from a reality show training school, as he has these alumni:

Liam

Liam off of Big Brother 6 and:

Anthony

Anthony from Big Brother 10. Now that's a claim to fame if ever I heard one!

Davs went to school with the Hilarious Harry Hill:

It was a dark, cold and windy Friday night. In Tilt in Nottingham, four students known only as Bradders, Alex (mark I and mark II) and Jimbob (real name open to suggestion) decided to cheer up the whole student population with a tune of gigantic, huge and amazing proportions.

Bohemian Rhapsody.

URN style.

On Saturday with the technical genius of Stuart and Martin, and the added extra beautiful singing voice of Scott, a two hour challenge to rewrite the whole song began. To the theme of Jeremy Kyle.

Finally, at 16:00 on Saturday 22nd January, 6 of us crowded into the studio to hear the rewrite. Some say that upon hearing the rewrite, Brian May himself mourned for what could have been for the original. Some say that upon hearing our version, Roger Taylor danced naked around a forest by twilight to the tune of the rewrite. Some say that people mostly just switched off URN for 6 minutes whilst we wailed down the microphones. All I know is, to hear the final result, click on the link.

It is actually beautiful. Enjoy.

And on an unrelated note, if you want to hear this week's blooper, this week generously donated by the one and only Scott, please listen below...
