On radio 2 this morning I heard a great Paloma Faith song. Afterwards a woman dj said she wasnt sure whether that was Paloma Faith or Pixie Lott (!!??) because she gets “confused between the two” (!?)
Is this kind of (wilful) ignorance meant to be endearing I wondered? I can’t help but draw the…
I don’t expect a lot from DJs, but one thing I might expect from them is to actually know the artist of the song they just played, given that that is quite a large percentage of their job. I’m not sure how the ditzy thing has worked it’s way into the professional world, it wouldn’t be that endearing to me to hear my doctor say, “I’m not sure if that was Penicillin or Tic-Tacs, I get those confused”
