Reel Love, The Film Soundtrack Show. Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Tarantino is a show with a really long title. It also is a show which is about film scores whether filled with pop or classical. Each week we'll be hearing some silver screen brilliance from a different theme to set you up for the week ahead. So get your popcorn, get your drink and settle down for the reel start to your week.
It's lockdown, it's midnight, and a masked vigilante is standing on a stool in a server room - it can only be one thing, the return of URY for Summer Term 2021! Tune in to hear what it sounds like when increasingly tired and stressed presenters dally about on air for a couple of hours, and see how long it takes us to start crying about Summer exams.
The double agent himself is back (They just can't get rid of me)! Coming to you live from the Liverpool Guild of Students in a studio kindly loaned out by Liverpool Guild Student Media. They're not on air right now but never let something so trival as technical difficulties™ get in the way of good radio and what better place to go than my old stomping gound at URY.
It's been far too long since I've done a show here. Let's change that. And in true URY style, let's not give any thought to its concept. No plan, no script, just content.
Raiding the URY vinyl archive, digging up scratchy old songs, keeping URY on air that little bit longer
The best in new music, old tunes you've mentally blocked out and wrestling theme tunes.
Joined as ever by Sir Tim Westwood and a questionable soundboard.
Always big.
Exactly one week before an historic and unpredictable election, URY News is joined by representatives of the Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat parties to discuss the key talking points of our election and fight for your votes, with analysis and context from other student media groups.
Jon blows the dust off of his old hard drives to uncover his collection of antique Christian Contemporary Music. Questions of faith aside, were the bands he listened to growing up actually any good? Secular music critics James and Ron join the show to help Jon decide.
What on earth is going on in the world? It's a fair question. Join Eloise as she tries to figure it out, with a hour-long news round up of all the UK and international political stories bracing the headlines. Don't worry, there'll be a few tunes in there, too - have to lighten the mood somehow.
The show invites members of academic staff to discuss everything between their speciality to favourite tea! Guests will also get the opportunity to choose records that they listened to when they were students and participate in quizzes on their own subject as well as ones they may not be so familar with...
Liv and Peter liven up your morning with an hour of questionably planned features, games, and chat...
Sam and the team look back over our last term of radio and discuss how and why it happened with those involved.
As the saying goes, everyone gets theirs. University bigwigs, students, and campus in general have finally had enough of Jonny Long and Callum McCulloch.
In the ultimate act of media censorship, the powers that be have created an artificial island in the lake by central hall, and have duly marrooned our two entrepid protagonists upon it.
However, in an age of plummetting league table places, a disaffected student body, and general lack of extraordinarily funny people, the boys have been given a radio show to pass their time in exile, and also the option of recruiting one more person for their wiley band of vagabonds.
Therefore, they will be holding tryouts, live on air. There will be challenges, we will critique the songs you wish to bring with you, your luxury item better be on our list of things we need.
It's going to be sort of like The Apprentice, Only Connect, The X Factor, Raven, and a certain BBC Radio 4 radio show (that we can't remember the name of) all rolled into one.
The critics have called it a gamechanger, our mother's have called it a 2:2 waiting to happen.
All we know is that it's going to pop off in a big way.
It's dogs doing a student radio show.
Bill and Ben return with a new show and an equal amount of inadequacy. Can Will create content as quickly as Ben can mess up the controls? Or will both find their feet as newly crowned 2nd year presenters? Find out with brand new features such as 'Get Smart', 'Stranded with a song' and 'Film Fights' as well as the return of old favourites such as 'The Purt Locker' and 'What the heck is this stupid lyric'.
A programme of music and words, designed to be transmitted over the radio.
Last term, I presented "33 Years In 2 Hours", a show so tightly crammed I barely got to say a word. This time... I can't be more specific, who knows what the world will look like by next week? Maybe I'll just play some of the experimental music I've enjoyed in recent years. And that Ian Dury song.
Ughh!
Hey yo, it's just another bombtrack...ughh!
Hey yo, it's just another bombtrack...yeah!
It goes a-1, 2, 3...
Hey yo, it's just another bombtrack
And suckas be thinkin' that they can fade this
But I'm gonna drop it at a higher level
'Cause I'm inclined to stoop down
Hand out some beat-downs
Cold runna train on punk ho's that
Think they run the game
But I learned to burn that bridge and delete
Those who compete...at a level that's obsolete
Instead I warm my hands upon the flames of the flag
As I recall our downfall
And the business that burned us all
See through the news and the views that twist reality
Enough
I call the bluff
Fudge Manifest destiny
Landlords and power Doors
On my people they took turns
Dispute the suits I ignite
And then watch 'em burn
With the thoughts from a militant mind
Hardline, hardline after hardline
Landlords and power boars
On my people they took turns
Dispute the suits I ignite
And then watch 'em burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
It goes a-1, 2, 3
Another funky radical bombtrack
Started as a sketch in my notebook
And now dope hooks make punks take another look
My thoughts ya hear and ya begin to fear
That ya card will get pulled if ya interfere
With the thoughts from a militant militant mind
Hardline, hardline after hardline
Landlords and power oars
On my people they took turns
Dispute the suits I ignite
And then watch 'em burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn
Ughh
Hey yo, it's just another bombtrack
Yeah
Ughh
