'Ere you go...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/oxford/music/download.shtml

It's BBC Oxford Radio's first ever show mainly catering for Oxford local music. First show was last night but you can listen back to it by clicking on the top right button in the link above.

Plus you'll hear my dulcet tones - I'm in the studio chipping in now and again in a co-presenting capacity.

Feedback is very welcome.

Nice.

Listened to it in work today.

Thought Tim's voice-overs were a little off, though. Didn't really mix-in with the music he was talking over, more like the music was replaced by him talking.

Can't think of anything bad to say about your participation, although I was surprised at how you sounded.

Will definitely be listening to future downloads.

Cheers bruv. Yeah, just stick it on in the background while you're working. Music ain't bad, presenters aren't half-bad.

I think the levels might need tweaking ever so slightly.

How come?

Thanks again. Its got a limited 8 week run. The local music scene are going bananas for it, but the radio station's normal demographic is 50+ year old's, so we'll see.

At 5pm, he's an early bird.

Followed by Anne Robinson. Who is more an acquired taste.

Well, you know how when you know someone online, and you build up a mental image of what they look like, and it turns out to be completely wrong?

Well, imagine you already know what that person looks like, so you've built up a mental image of what they sound like. It's all very stereotypical and psychological whatnot.

I'm no good at describing voices, but if I had to put nouns or adverbs to how I thought you'd sound and how you actually sound, I'd have to plug for "expecting gravel, got sand instead". If that makes any sense at all.

Yep, I get it.

I kinda envisage you sounding like Simon Furman.

But with a West Country accent, right?

If I could remember what Furman sounds like (from that little clip on "I Love 1984") I'd, hmm...

I know, let's ask Ben!

Furman talks like Barry White.

That's boulders!

He sounds more like Stewie from Family Guy...infact, he looks like him too

I'll have you know I look nothing like that inocuous imperial infant! Well, aside from the sparseness of head hair, small ears and a rather convenient grouping of facial hair located just under my lower lip, or in Stewie's case, dribble.

In fact, just the other day, I had my photo taken for my work's intranet site and within a couple of hours, I'd been photoshopped as Ming the Merciless*, would-be conqueror of the universe!

Err, wait just one minute...
