BBC6 Radio - comment, discussion and moans

See she’s deleted the tweet. No mention though, like surely saying “sorry, that was a stupid thing to say” would be the thing to do. No doubt she’ll double down and go full Laurence Fox soon enough.

So, so bored of Glastonbury now.

Enough. Move on.

Will become an alt right star, no doubt.

Wonder if earlier in their careers, they ever imagined veering from passionate music lovers and passionate actors to being off key and pantomime villains?

 

[edcraw]

Probably shouldn’t turn this thread into Liz Kershaw watch (but does show why it’s good she’s no longer on the station) but looks like she wants a job in Johnson’s government

Good luck if 80s dance music isn't your thing, because Six Music are playing nothing else all weekend. That's right, fuck off if you don't like it.

Feels like part of a purge. Thing is, I feel like they're just exchanging one type of safe for another.

They do these sorts of days all the time. Even did a rock/metal day not so long ago.

Oh, fair enough. Although in some ways that makes it even weirder. Somebody give me a shout when they do angular post-punk weekend. Two days of The Ex, Big Flame, Dog Faced Hermans, Dawson and co. I'll be all ears.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Not sure what your point is here tbh

 

[Cerv]

I like the themed days. as long as they don't do them too often.
gives a break from the too strict playlist. and the good presenters really have a chance to shine with their choices and talking about the theme. (shame about the naff presenters still hanging about though)

especially when the theme chosen isn't a genre I'd normally listen to much, like the metal day. exposed to something different is refreshing.



but of all the days to pick, it's the last day for Glastonbury on the iplayer today. that's got to take a hit out of the 6 audience numbers

 

[PR1Berske]

I'm doing overtime at work today and I've really enjoyed 6 today. Hughie has mostly kept his mouth shut for one thing

 

[Orang Utan]

They don’t like dance music. I think that’s it.
If people don’t like what’s playing on the radio, why don’t they play the music they do like and cut out the radio middleman? Radio listeners are weird. Access to good music is so easy these days but you have to be active instead of passive and make a bit of an effort

 

[bellaozzydog]

I’ve had the dial up to 11 most the day

Great tunes right through, occasionally a little bit too much analysis/comment

But a high point day for me

Well done carry one

ETA

Fuck guy Harvey

Think it worked well what I heard of it. This Sat is 90s dance then the next 2 decades that he following. Think this is what 6Music is particularly good at - looking at how music evolves!

 

[Cerv]

has been nice having Annie Mac as the stand in breakfast presenter this week.
hopefully she's a regular on the subs list now. and we can get less Gemma Carney.

 

[nottsgirl]

I quite like Gemma Carney. I like her, then Lauren Laverne. I hate the guy who’s doing the early breakfast show at the moment.

 

[nottsgirl]

I’m enjoying Carnival Day today.

 

[spitfire]

I’m enjoying Carnival Day today.

Yes they made a decent go of it this year.

Channel One right now are as brilliant as ever.

 

[MBV]

God this is a boring interview:

Wild Billy Childish and the CTMF, and chats to the great man himself about Bob Dylan the Downliners Sect and Indian medicine clubs.

 

[kalidarkone]

Omg it's unbearable today. Simpering tune after simpering tune being played. Slow sad monotone commentary..

 

[Cerv]

I’ve switched over to NTS. Seems better. Not ignoring the news and it gets a mention but carrying on as normal.

The early breakfast guy finished his show just before 9 with the sex pistols god save the queen.

 

[spitfire]

Also Soho radio worth a shot.

Completely agree but imagine the shit they'd get from the Mail if they didn't. I'm listening to Spotify playlists instead.

 

[Me76]

I switched to my random Spotify list on the way in this morning but that seemed to be annoyingly calm and mellow as well.

Yeah it's only because I was charging the mini rig and also I like back ground 5 live but not in the current environment.

Are the algorithms influenced by current events? <tinfoil hat> I'm currently listening to Seun Kuti, nicely upbeat

 

[BassJunkie]

I'm listening to the Rat Pack on Kool London. They're playing banging tunes.

 

[Petcha]

I had a Queen Elizabeth playlist cued up for me this morning in my recommendations. Seems to have vanished now.

 

[Cloo]

I found it mostly pleasantly chilled to make lunch to today but I'm not going to be keeping it on for long periods until this nonsense is over.

 

[Skim]

I’ve got seven different playlists recommended for me, including this Royal Bangerz compilation with Susan Boyle:

6music sounds like the music playing when you get on an airplane.
