As a radio DJ, do you think we like having to follow a list? Do you think we are the ones who make the list? We have a job to do and if we don't want to get fired then we follow the list. Very unfair to blame the DJ and not the music director and consultant's who tell us what to play.

Making love and music are the only things worth fighting for.

In NYC Kiss FM plays Prince daily. I can catch his songs at work at least 3 times between 7 AM and 5 PM.

Because of their half-baked mistakes, we get ice cream, no cake; all lies, no truth; is it fair to Kill the YOUTH ~~ Party Up

Why do so many times does the public hear or read about DJ's taking payolas?

UK radio 1 breakfast show - Chris Moyles & especially Comdey Dave - they love him. Dave is clearly an old school purple head and finds any excuse to play P. It's great becuase it's either the number 1 or 2 listened to show on the UK. They were crazy for him after the last Brit awards performance and especially the o2 gigs.

Also , Edith Bowman is a huge fan, in fact lots at Rdaio 1 are.

P is missing a massive marketing opportunity [as ALWAYS!], by not appearing on Chris's show in the morning when he needs to promote a product.

I play prince in my sets. I play in clubs and bar/lounges
Besides "The Ballad of Dorothy Parker" in lounge/chill out sets and "Controversy" in house sets I play a lot of remixes.
Not the recent ones like dance for me. That is just cheesy sh!te for commercial clubs/radio.
My sets are a bit darker and edgy.

Many tracks have tiny snippets of prince songs in them.
Right now there are several remixes/edits out.
One of them is by Dimitri from Paris

Google or youtube "Dimitri from Stoke on Trent - I wanna be your lobster"
