i'm blonde too...erm apart from the obvious..erm whats a bed?

[Mcqueen_]

The music that they talk over.

[HoTdOg]

ok im with it so far..its like elevator music?...whats beds short for? or why is it called beds?

[David]

i always thought it was a bed as it was underneath you... you were on top of it.. your voice laid upon it...

but mabe I am wrong.

[HoTdOg]

how romantic

[ibop]

but moving on from what they are, and why they are called that, the music4 isnt the one i'm reffering to. It is one that starts with someone singing "dum dum di dum dum, etc" and chris nearly always joins in. if you havent heard anything like that, it often gets used before 8 o'clock

Theres one he uses after the two songs after the 8 O'clock news. That might be the one youre reffering too.

[Aaron]

Also there was one played at 9:15 that Chris was humming to. Listen to listen again to see if it was the one you mean.

I know which one they mean with the 'dum dum di dum dum' thingy at the beginning. It would be the one after the 8 news. I can't see how this information is helping ibop get hold of the track though.

[David]

It sounds very much like Chris' vocals are featured in that one aswell - so it may be one made for him aswell.

but mabe I am wrong.

no, you're absolutely right - this is all it's down to.

In full (even though it doesn't sound very technical!) it would be referred to as a "musical bed" simply because, audio-wise, the music is underneath and your voice is on the top. Just called bed for short and...well....cos it's no less technical!!!

Oh for god's sake, I know I stuck up for you before, but how geeky can you get?

[Funky Drummer]

or, alternatively, how "i work in professional radio and so therefore know these little bits of information as part of my job" can you get?

just a thought....

[Sidders]

There's no need to constantly share it with us though. Still, at least someone asked this time.

[Funky Drummer]

I'd hardly say I "constantly" share it with you - I'm hardly ever even on here!

Plus, as you, almost-correctly said, I don't exactly start a new thread saying "Hey, guess what piece of information I've got for you now..." - they'll all come as responses to a question or query raised. I don't see you heading over to the registered users section and calling Aled a geek for knowing how certain things work in a radio station!

[Mcqueen_]

It appears you repeat what has previsouly been said though Mr. D, trying to use the correct technical terms and making it seem even more boring than first apparent using your professonial skills (which you don't speak about as much as everyone wishes..).

[Funky Drummer]

okay, if that's your opinion, then im sorry. I thought that I was just confirming what david said he "thought" was true and pointing it out to be true. My only intention was to back someone's idea up but if it got taken the wrong way then sorry.

And the only reason that I mention technical things in my posts is because that's rethe only thing spoken about on here that really interests me nowadays - if you lok back at previous posts of mine then the recent ones will all be of this ilk. I don't really tend to get involved in regular sort of show-based discussions anymore: no particular reason why not, just don't.

Apologies.

[Sidders]

What's an ilk? An elk that's ill or something?

[Funky Drummer]

type/sort/kind etc, etc. Pop it into ms word and see what the theasaurus there says...

[Sidders]

I know what it means I was just being pedantic.

[Uglybob]

whats pedantic?
