BBC6 Radio - comment, discussion and moans

[Cerv]

No I cannot. It’s so irritating. Ruins the music. Have one thing or the other, not both

now you're just getting mad at other people enjoying what you don't.

 

[Orang Utan]

now you're just getting mad at other people enjoying what you don't.

Yes, it’s infuriating

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

Yes, it’s infuriating

Not as infuriating as trying to enjoy someone's wee crowd pleasing, solidarity building summer party tune and being told yer bloody infantile.

 

[krtek a houby]

Reckon most who hate the channel probably haven't listened in years

Isn’t that what you did?

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

Isn’t that what you did?

When?

 

[Orang Utan]

When?

I have this infantile drivel on my radio 6 Spotify playlist, no fucks given.

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

Ed called it infantile drivel.

 

[Orang Utan]

Ed called it infantile drivel.

so did you!

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

so did you!

Which was clarified by "no fucks given" Oh my god man stop being whatever this is

 

[Orang Utan]

That’s not exactly clarified. I thought you were agreeing with him.

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

I don't give a fuck if it's infantile drivel is what I meant.
It has a good kick drum, those are really hard to achieve. Try it! It's the best one I've heard since this

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

Me after 1363 tries:

ah ok, I misunderstood cos you didn’t quote Ed, but repeated what he said. Thought you were complaining about it being on the playlist

 

[Orang Utan]

That’s not a kick drum, THIS IS A KICK DRUM:

Oh wow excellent stuff Jamz as ever. I hear no indie wank. It's putting me off my essay though, she's done this a few times. Rather get the rum out.

She's great. Top tunes always.

Ok. I think I like the new 7pm show. Much more varied. More dance music, some odd stuff as well.

I liked Marc Riley but this is an improvement.

Sorry, not liking it at all. I've given it a good go. Too much dance, too much electronica.

There are new bands out there playing exciting punk/post punk/folk&celtic punk etc

Bring back Riley, and re-runs of John Peel sessions from the late 70s.

I know this makes me old.

 

[CNT36]

Been listening a bit in the day while doing some work on the bathroom. Does Mary Anne Hobbs play a hard-core track everyday? Are they all "from Birmingham."

You're not wrong.

I think they had to move on though.

 

[mx wcfc]

You're not wrong.

Thing is, apart from Riley & Coe, which I'm enjoying right now, which BBC radio channel is catering for me these days? Clearly 6 music is trying to get rid of 60ish white blokes (and I get the historic privilege thing). I like Craig Charles and the Trunk of Punk/Jar of Ska stuff when wfh, but the recent changes in the evenings have really pissed me off and completely blown my routine!

The BBC's library of John Peel (and others) sessions is a really valuable and loved archive/resource. They should really push it. Old gits like me love it.

If the "new music" show was a little less "mainstream" and, frankly "stuff I thought Radio One plays", it might work better.

(sorry, I really am gutted at losing my listening to Marc Riley in the evening thing)

 

[krtek a houby]

Also, there's not enough music from the 30s on it

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

I love Marc Riley and I'm 40. My son is obsessed with the 80's and he's 11. It's alright to complain about this, if you're judging historic privilege entirely by one's age you're doing it wrong. What is this bollocks, when I was 26 my best friends were 20, 30 , 40 years older than me. No power differentials applied.

Thanks!

I'm starting to warm to it now too, I think.

I do like Riley though, so I should really get round to listening to some of his new shows on catch up.

 

[Sweet FA]

Fucking hell this can fuck off.

 

[Sweet FA]

Not the soundtrack to this:

 

[PursuedByBears]

Fucking hell this can fuck off.

It's great!
