I think he talks about nothing other than bands and his connection with their music, except sometimes he’ll switch to boring on about whatever football team it is that he supports. I don’t know that he’s a football fan, but he definitely seems the type.

Right. Fucking obviously it would be a lower league team, wouldn’t it. You probably haven’t heard of them.

I’m usually up and around with the last half hour or so of Chris Hawkins regular show on in the background. He does have a definite air of the graveyard shift DJ about him.

The music’s fine I guess, but like with Keaveny, it’s the same patter day in day out, year in year out…

40% when he used to write for the NME
40% times he’s chatted to members of bands on tour, whilst claiming to also be ‘on tour’ with them
10% shitty football
10% when he used to be on radio 1

Like Balonz, I quite often listen to him as I’m up dead early. He’s fine for that time. Plays some good stuff. Has good enough features. Wouldn’t want to listen to him during the day, but would almost prefer him to MR

I’m an early riser and so listen to Chris ‘the hawk’ Hawkins regularly. He’s a great lad and perfect for the mornings with his gentle but knowing humour.saying that he sounds really awkward filling in the afternoons

Reckon I could do a 10 minute conversation with him about Colchester while sinking a pint. For £50 plus the pint and a pack of nuts

would be funny if he did a porky cameron and started talking about a team with similar colours.

‘yeah been a massive wednesday fan since I started working for the nme’

#252

he can’t really be like this surely he is self-aware and playing a character right?

#253

met him - he’s worse. a lot less friendly, if that was possible.
