I heard at least 12 mins of it and hope to never hear it again.Honestly, did you hear the full mix?

It's brilliant. Except for the annoying fucking 6music sting at the start.
Thing is, people have different musical tastes so you're never going to persuade me it was brilliant.
It summed up just about everything I hate about certain DJs who produce the same bland, generic house formula with a beat stuck at the same tempo for an eternity, with great songs being stripped down to a few lines, and all nuances being crushed into submission by the aforementioned identikit beat.
I'm glad you enjoyed it and I'm sure there's a half ton of music I like that you'd hate with an equal passion, but for me, today's marathon mix was the worst thing I've heard in ages.

Well that is the one thing we can definitely agree on!

I like Chris Hawkins 
Huey played some great tunes this morning, perfect accompaniment to my 30 mile bike ride.

He’s so straight white male. He plays uninteresting music. He’s everything I count on 6music not to be.I like Chris Hawkins

It's about all I can take at that time in the morning! I met him in person last year when he compered a stage at our local festival, he's a nice guy.

What would Picard do?
Well I'm already at the stage now where I only ever listen to 6Music via BBC Sounds so i can limit how much unlistenable shit i have to take in while driving my cab.
For home I've massively re-organised all my music files so I can always find exactly what i want at any time, and play via Bluetooth speakers. I will occasionally stick the radio on when doing stuff in the kitchen though 50% of the time i will turn it straight back off again. I even once retuned to radio 2 but that was no better!!

I only tend to listen while I'm pottering in the kitchen, and today Jamz delivered the perfect soundtrack to my cake and shepherd's pie making 
I miss Lammo during the week when I'm cooking dinner, Huw Stephens grates after a while so I turn it off.

Huw's Radio Cymru show is much better. Maybe he should be pushing for doing Welsh language stuff on 6I only tend to listen while I'm pottering in the kitchen, and today Jamz delivered the perfect soundtrack to my cake and shepherd's pie making

I can't abide Huw Stevens so have stopped listening to the teatime slot Tuesday to Friday. Every time I try again there's far too much blethering and hardly any music which is completely wrong for that timeslot.I only tend to listen while I'm pottering in the kitchen, and today Jamz delivered the perfect soundtrack to my cake and shepherd's pie making

I listened to bits when we were in Somerset and it was good. Better than whatever was on 6 at the time.

Yes, because what 6 music really needs is more chat like What's your second favourite thing?

Yeah I listen to this sometimes too. He's good. Can't understand a word but doesn't even matter, I like hearing the Welsh language.

I caught Garvey interviewing Tobias Menzies yesterday and stayed to listen because despite Garvey professing their deep friendship, Menzies barely held his contempt in check as the fool wittered on.
You could hear Menzies sigh and almost audibly check his watch/nails

Incidentally, I was chanting to random bloke in a pub in Sheffield on Friday night that turned out to be 'Andy from Sheffield '

That current trail for Lauren's show is exceptionally annoying.
We forgive you.

I imagine he is sat at home, dunking digestives, deep in appreciation for 6 Music
