Classic biased opinion from JV.

And lots of shouty men talking over everyone who disagree with them.

Time to stick a playlist on.

British Travel Show on Tastemade in the Past

0 Upvotes

I’m looking for a British TV show that was on Tastemade Channel in 2022 but was created before that year. Every episode the two hosts, one male and one female, travel around the world and stay at a luxury hotel and an inexpensive hotel and partake in activities. They then compare their experiences at the end of the episode. The one I recall is one taking place in a country where they could see the northern lights

"slayyyter - brand new chanel$" on radio 1

Ive already posted about the the cut short songs on this sub, but holy, this song, its only played for around exactly 2 MINUTES?? The full song is around 4 minutes, its not because they cut intros/instrumentals, when they first started playing it on R1 it was only cut to around 3 minutes, and now they have cut an extra verse and chorus out, this has to be one of the most brutal edits R1 have ever made to a song.

If they can play almost every 3 minute song in full why not this?
