    Radio X (United Kingdom)

    Radio X is a commercial radio station brand focused on alternative music, primarily indie rock, which is owned by Global Radio. Radio X launched nationally on 21 September 2015 as a rebrand of Xfm and superseded Xfm London and Xfm Manchester.

    The station has previously employed a number of DJs that have since gone on to even greater fame including Ricky Gervais, Karl Pilkington, Stephen Merchant, Simon Pegg, Christian O'Connell, Russell Brand, Justin Lee Collins, Adam and Joe, Alex Zane, Tim Lovejoy, Dermot O'Leary and Josh Widdicombe.

    History

    Xfm was created in London in 1992 by Sammy Jacob and Chris Parry (Jacob would later go on to co-found NME Radio and CDNX (Camden Experience) in 2008 and 2015 respectively). The station became full-time on 1 September 1997. During the following year the station played a range of music from its studios in 97 Charlotte Street, but mass appeal was thwarted by the lack of awareness due to an unsuccessful marketing campaign.

    In 1998, Xfm was acquired by the Capital Radio Group (now part of Global Radio) and was relocated from Charlotte Street to Capital's headquarters at Leicester Square, where Radio X remains based today. On 23 August of that year was closed down for four days, during which a test tape featuring mainstream soft-rock acts was looped. The station subsequently relaunched with a more mainstream format, and a new advert featuring a cartoon radio saying "Don't be afraid!", which referred to the perceived inaccessibility of its old format. The soft-rock revamp was not a success, culminating in listener-led protests outside the Capital Radio studios. Listeners also lodged objections with the radio authority, which found XFM to be acting in a manner contrary to its licence requirements, and a degree of alternative output was eventually restored, particularly through night-time playlists and specialist shows.

    Be With You Again

    by: C 21

    Okay
    If you shed blood with me to this point, you deserve an explanation
    For all the hell you've endured, while helping me reach my destination
    And this effort to bless the nation
    I've might had did more harm than good
    But I've always showed you heart, this is just my but apart from would
    Man I love the darkest hood
    But also the brightest suburb
    To think I would just despise the folks because I'm broke and white it's absurd
    I'm told be tight you get hurt, but I don't hear my spinal spinning
    Yeah we found some distribution, but bet the crying is just beginning
    Cause these bright nights, could lead to dark days and vice versa
    Even if Greg Street don't play, I guarantee you a nice purchase
    Frankly, I'm quite certain I'm the livest fucker out there
    I'm making love to the truth, inside that vocal booth without care
    I won't even talk about stare
    From angry illogic rappers
    Cause every time they get confronted, they'll give you head than dap ya
    This one don't really need a hook, but Shannon said it'll be a single
    So I devote this to my life, so much more than a catch of a jiggle
    Dark days, bright nights
    For that outside in the night, you know what Bubba's life is like
    Bright nights, dark days
    For them broads that truly love me and hate to see me live this way
    Dark days, bright nights
    For when they say you can't live, fuck them, do it just out of spite
    Bright nights, dark days
    For every person without a voice that got something they need to say
    See it's apparent that you know, there's a lot of folks that love Bubba
    Not cause of any rap I wrote, they see something above gutter
    Though, my pockets don't reflex that
    It's my vision, and they respect that
    Love comes in a form of a various drug, and I can't neglect that
    So me and my folks get fucked up like six nights out of seven
    That's the bright light of our lives
    Like God's shinning light right out of Heaven
    But at the conclusion of every session
    I wish that Dark Day to expose
    The plight of my situation, no blow, no dough for big shows
    But still they see we this close from seeing the promise land
    So that leads to another bright night, when all of us is college grand
    Being loved by the moms and dads
    Which some of us wasn't blessed with
    You think we all born with two lovin' parents and a treasure chest
    Shit, I was fortunate to be loved, by my paternal units
    I'm gonna make their son a winner, fuck how bad it'll hurt I'm doing it
    Even if I was to ruin it
    Never with me and my heart part ways
    We developed too strong of a bond, turning bright nights into dark days
    Yeah it's true, I also do get praise from the other side of the tracks
    You know, that dark days part of town, when they intentionally hide the blacks
    Ain't got no reply to that, I said I'm sorry if I'm to blame
    I tried like hell to sooth your soul by planting the facts inside your brain
    I never once lied to the game, the acceptance of not one black dude
    It's just Bubba that country fucker smoking swages and eating snack foods
    Now every time they ask you, "why you live the way you choose too?"
    Say cause Bubba set you right, the only one they loved, knew you
    That leaves you with no excuse to settle with what they offer
    He try to pay you the slave wagers, play that role, and tell them naw, sir
    I'll probably won't even falter if you dismiss me as the demon
    It is true, I am not you, my skin's the tone of piss and seamen
    But if we fight this evening, I assure you, we'll both bleed red
    And it'll take your whole slum and all your guns to leave me dead
    Plus all that blood we shed what do nothin' but server their purpose
