What was that piano cover of a pendulum song? I can't find it anywhere. i cant remember what day he played it but it was either tue,wed or thur.

[foot-loose]

Wasn't it Matt Fincham that played it? I quite liked it as well actually.

[bragamuffin]

What pendulum song was he playing though?

[Yudster]

Ask Matt on Twitter. He loves it when people notice him.

[Latina]

Why is this thread on fire?

[DevilsDuck]

Because its a burning issue!

[dimtimjim]

yeah, it was Finges Finchy on the Piano on Mondays show, i believe.....

PS. have more flames. Toasty.

I still can't understand your vitriolic hatred of Matt Yuds

Yeah he isn't my favourite member of the team, but he's still part of the team, yes? He's been on the show longer than Tina has...surely she should take more flak than him as she's the 'newbie' now?

What has being the newbie got to do with it? I cant speak for yudster, but I don't like Matt(on air, not personally) because he adds nothing to the show and is quite dull. The show is being diluted enough as it is with too much structure since Aled became producer, the last thing we need is a non-entity (again, only on air) like Matt clogging things up even more.

[bragamuffin]

So what song did he play, i don't use twitter

[McGuinness-89]

I think it was a track called Slam, but I'm not 100%.

[Yudster]

Picking on someone because they are new would be bullying wouldn't it? Pick on the newbie just because they are new? Never have. Yes, I have a go at the odd newbie, but the reason is NEVER their newbie-ness.

I dislike Matt for a set of reasons - Tina seems pretty inoffensive to me, why would I say bad things about her? Matt on the other hand is pushy and comes across on air (when talking) as incredibly arrogant, and spent a period of time contriving to get on air at any and every opportunity, and being very poor when he managed it. This thankfully seems to have been stamped on by people on the show who know what's good for it.

Two things - I assume (previous high-profile *-ups notwithstanding) that he is now good enough at his job to be able to not worry about keeping it, and also when he is used as the in-house musician he makes excellent radio.

This is vitriol? Really?!

[foot-loose]

I like Matt. I don't get the beef others have with him.

[Nicola_Red]

I like him too. I've never seen any of this supposed arrogance or pushiness at all. Oh well, different strokes etc...

Matt Played 'Slam' by Pendulum on Wednesday's show around 1hr 41mins in.

It would be boring if we all liked the same things though wouldn't it? Or if we never changed our opinion of anyone - like I used to really dislike Carrie on the show but grew to absolutely love her? Its a fluid situation!

[DevilsDuck]

Its a fluid situation!

I'll get a cloth

[bragamuffin]

Thanks but i can't find it on youtube or google anyone know where i can find it

[ededwards]

Not quite sure what you want, do you want to find Slam by Pendulum on Youtube (it's definatly on there)
or do you want the audio from Chris's show:

This is vitriol? Really?!

Matt Fincham is a waste of space.

and thankfully Matt Fincham will not be promoted as a result of the changes, he is staying as Assistant Producer. I suppose demotion for him was too much to ask..........

Maybe someone realised that it would be better without him?

He hasn't been on air as much lately has he? Its been really very nice.

Oh no, the blog has to stay as its the only thing that justifies the continued employment of Matt Fincham.

I'd say that's on its way to becoming vitriol

[Yudster]

Not even close! Thankfully not a lot happens around here to provoke a truly vitriolic response from me, but if it does, you won't need it pointing out!

[dimtimjim]

15-15, Yuds to serve......

[Yudster]

Don't encourage me. I don't want to provoke English Bob any more than I already have, he doesn't deserve it and it doesn't reflect well on me!

[tom_austin]

What a vindictive and nasty person you are Yudster. I've watched for months at the snide unpleasant & rude posts you've made about Matt Fincham and feel it's about time someone spoke up.

As far as I'm concerned whenever matt's on air he seems in awe of the situation he's in. He only ever volunteers information when Chris asks him, unlike the other team members who pipe up with they're comments throughout the show. He seems to be a genuine fan of the show and what the team all do and i think his geekiness is quite endearing.
I for one find him quite likeable and far from arrogant - he is self deprecating in his sense of humour and lets the team rib him in a light spirited way. Theyre obviously quite fond of him
Do you think if Chris and co disliked him that much (as you're keen to make out, even though you don't know any of the team personally, yet seem to think youre an authority on them) he'd be on the show? Surely he must be one of the most able and dedicated Radio 1 assistent producers to be put on the station's breakfast show for so long?

I'm just getting bored now of your Matt baiting everytime you post Yudster. Change the record - you're becoming really tiresome.
