Yep, it's a great book, would thoroughly recommend it to anyone with a
healthy disregard for cheesy, poppy mainstream Radio1. It certainly
confirmed my every suspicion.
I remember the bit about management telling him not to play so much hip hop
and jungle because it was the music of the black criminal classes! Ah, the
BBC.
