BBC6 Radio - comment, discussion and moans

[Petcha]

How has nobody sacked Cerys Matthews? I mean. It's sunday. We all just wanna chill out to some nice tunes. What does she do - I mean, besides her usual spoken word nonsense, today it was favourite sound effects. Literally dripping water for a while. And now an interview with Tim Peake.

It's 6 MUSIC

Cerys is best show on 6

Wow - you hate 6 music that much!!

I think Saturday mornings are one of the best times to catch a good run of tunes: Radcliffe and Maconie followed by Huey Morgan.

I turned Cerys Matthews off this morning as she gets too whimsical.

 

[PursuedByBears]

She's painful, evey so often I listen to her again and it's still as bad.

Saturdays are the best on 6 music, Huey, Jamz, Gilles, Craig Charles funk and soul, and now Don Letts moved from Sunday as well

 

[bellaozzydog]

If I had to choose one show to listen to from 6 music it would be Cerys Mathews Sunday morning show

Closely followed by Iggy Pop

Huey's easily the best of the lot on 6. His links are short and sweet and his taste is impeccable. He rarely fucks around with totally irrelevant guests like most of them do. Cerys would appear to think she's a national treasure or something so can get away with her nonsense and I don't think anyone's brave enough to tell her. Her show might work at 2am on a Monday night but not prime time Sunday mid morning.

No idea what you're on about. She plays the kinda music I'm interested in and interested in finding out more about.

She's okay. She can get a little indulgent. I wonder If she wouldn't work better on 3 of all stations.

 

[Ms Ordinary]

I used to be quite into Cerys for a Sunday morning, then one time she just played too many apple related songs for National Apple Day & I had to give it a miss for about 5 years.

I do still quite like her, but I really have to be in the mood for all that chirpiness. (To be fair, this is true for all the morning types)

 

[Sweet FA]

Cerys is excellent; love her knowledge & enthusiasm. Don't be starting on her.

Cerys played Margaret Barry on the show, not someone you hear every day.

Tom Waits played CW Stoneking on Ziggy show. Same.

It seems like such a waste of time to do one rather than the other

Huh? I definitely picked the right word. You made me doubt myself and check

Listening to the radio is lazy now?

I am listening to this show now on catchup - when they chat between the records it's like listening to a couple of giant gravelly purring cats. #notchirpy
(I also enjoyed Cerys in real time on Sunday morning, the interviews are generally the bit I like)

 

[ska invita]

I'm gonna be on 6music this Friday (24th). I'm the People's Party Selector on the People's Party with Afrodeutsche, choosing a couple of my favourite dance tracks. Show starts at 7pm.

can you post a link to this maggot?

It was great. Love your description.

 

[Sweet FA]

It's a wanky, pretentious and pointless word to use. Like saying 'vinyls' when you mean records or 'reaching out' when you mean contact.

Ironically you must be very much in step with the 6 dad demographic; 6 voiceovers keep talking about 'curated playlists' like the listening experience is somehow more valuable because they've been 'curated'

 

[spitfire]

I thought, "That's a bit rude.", then saw the username.

 

[Griff]

Tom Robinson is the only one I hear using 'curate' on his Now Playing show and yeah it does irritate.

 

[Maggot]

Sure thing.
