I run @phoenixfm.com and also present an indie/alternative radio show, Resurrection (Saturday evenings, 2000-2200 UK time). Mostly post about radio, music, gig photos, travel and cat pictures.

On my radio show in 2025 I played 1,623 tracks in total – 1,040 different tracks from 560 different artists. But which artists and tracks did we play the most?

I don't really do clickbait much so the answers are:

Rescued from the Severn Hospice shop in Machynlleth today for the grand sum of 50p. North Wales band Y Promatics ("The Promatics" - I don't think it's a Welsh word) formed in 2005, released two EPs, including this one, 100 Diwrnod Heb Liw ("100 days without colour").

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”
What's an insult you'll never forget?

Talking about gigs - can't believe this was 30 years ago today. And also so weird that the two bands (Stereolab were supporting) recorded two of my favourite albums of 2025 too

3 years ago today - I was in the Rorke's Drift in Brecon, watching England get knocked out of the World Cup by France. Locals weren't as anti-England as you might expect.

Passed my City and Guilds morse code test (12wpm) in 1990. After passing, never sent another dit or dah ever
What skill did you master that you will never, ever use again?

Summer of '95 I had a job assembling single-use film cameras, which I did enough that I can still perform the actions. I don't think they even sell them anymore, but even if they do I'm certainly never going to be making them again!
What skill did you master that you will never, ever use again?

In the summer of ‘88, I had a job where I installed cell phones into cars. No one has needed that skill in over 30 years.
