playing chill house, vaporwave, ambient and whatever else fits. probably good for a quiet night in
Join Harry 'Who Does Law' Reeves, James from James from Jams from James from James, and AL for the festive special of NOW We're Talking!
Expect extra-special Christmas canoodley games, massive funnies, beef reports (or whatever meat/meat alternative you have on your Xmas dinner), NOW tunes and some top tier chat.
Now, that's what it is.
A carefully curated selection of broadly "alternative" (whatever that means) tunes from the classic to the eclectic, with a special nod of fondness to the arty and pretentious. Yes, "classic alternative" is kind of a contradiction in terms, but here at Speed of Life, we embrace paradox to the point of meaninglessness. Occasional themed weeks provide welcome respite from the usual swirl of chaos.
One theme, one girl and as many songs as we can fit into one hour.
Every week I'll present to you a list of songs that share a common theme. Of course you are more than welcome to make your own suggestions both for themes and songs.
Unlike Beyoncé, we make our own content. Join us as we exercise our contractual right to a maximum of 2 Beyoncé songs in an hour, plus as may features as we can find.
songs that fit a different theme every week, depending on the specific feeling i want to convey. some themes might include: homesickness, change, the ruins of love, pancakes and syrup, the freedom of singing loudly in the car, yearning, what a teenage summer feels like, self love, anger, and pride. basically i like words and i like songs.
Exactly what it says on the tin.
Not that radio shows come in tins.
But this one does, and it's a three decade old salted pork tin full of what will probably be recent London migrant and soon-to-be-former PhD student Matt Windsor's last ever show on URY before he finally stops being a student. Expect pretty much everything that can be expected from a washed up student radio DJ that was once referred to as URY's answer to Alan Partridge: an hour of awkward gaps between songs, awkward songs between gaps, and attempts to draw a close on 8ish years of somehow repeatedly being scheduled for shows despite having the radio nous of a loofah. Does anyone still use loofahs?
Sparrow-Fart: "Very early in the morning!" Join Jay and Steve every week as they get up at sparrowfart purely for your entertainment. With a look at the mornings papers, some form of music and invariably some form of conversation, it's everything you would expect from a breakfast programme and more (or less).
Beth and Chess get up close and personal with different socities on campus! Every week, we will be chatting a different society, finding out what they are about, what makes them tick, and why people should join them. There is something new in every episode, so make sure to listen on catch up if you miss one!
It's a show where I play quite literally any and every chaotic track I can think of. If you were expecting some kind of metric or order, then I'd stop reading now. However, if a snazzy mix of alternative tracks from all over the music-sphere is your kinda vibe, then tune on in.
'Page one (we don't explain names)' is an easy-going and fresh take on radio, featuring the brave Matt and handsome Will in talks about our lives and life in general. If you've ever wondered what radio sounds like, now's your chance. Do as everyone else will be doing: tune in and die!
Music will be peachy and brilliant.
We review every single bed we have in the system. Which is the best of beds? Find out with Jon, James, and Ron.
Hell has offficially frozen over, this is Numi's last show on URY.
It's 8 am, time to get out of bed and into the shower, get dressed, have breakfast and be on your way.
It's hard for everyone to start the day in a good mood, especially after a legendary night out.
Fear no more, I'm here to get you through it !
Always big.
