BBC6 Radio - comment, discussion and moans

[editor]

By Christ, they're playing another of those never ending, super-dated, extra cliched mixes, complete with the hackneyed 'Can you feel it?' vocal sample. It's like a bad night in the 414.

 

[BassJunkie]

I've just heard an advert - Guy Garvey advertising his show on Saturday afternoons. He intones (smugly) (natch) "It's just Good Music".

No mate. If it was just good music, I'd be listening to it religiously. But it's not just music.

There are frequent interjections by some egotistical, patronising twat.

I am greatly enjoying Mr Scruff on Gilles Peterson's show this evening

 

[Petcha]

This new Jesus Lizard track sounds better than 99% of the stuff 6 pumps out. And it's their first release in 26 years.

Love mr scruff, always great selections, there’s lots of his old shows that are a really nice listen on the worldwide fm site

 

[Petcha]

I just cant listen to Craig Charles anymore. Leaving aside employing someone who was remanded for months on allegations of rape before charges were dropped as they usually are, why is he fronting two of the flagship shows for 6? He's awful. He sounds like a creepy guy sidling up to a girl at bar and asking if she'd like a shandy.

 

[Petcha]

For those who don't remember. So I was wrong in the above, charges weren't dropped, he was acquitted based on lack of evidence. To get a rape trial to a jury by the CPS takes a lot of work, most don't get that far.

Yeah, since hearing about that (I was still at school at the time and remember hearing about it now) on here I've been avoiding listening.

What's the source for that?

What's the source for that?

Popbitch

 

[Petcha]

Ah... Popbitch. As I said on another thread, I used to work with and go drinking with the brother of the guy who started that. Most of it is absolute fiction. I would be very surprised if Huey's a Trumpian.

 

[Orang Utan]

He seems quite stupid so I wouldn’t be surprised

I have doubts about the newsletter being absolute fiction. (Though I can't get the description of Jeremy Paxman 's cock out of my memory so maybe I wish it were!)

 

[Jennaonthebeach]

I do remember Huey Morgan making disparaging comments about trans people, which is a shame as I'd always liked him till then, had even chatted to him on Twitter a bit. But then that doesn't mean anything about his politics as anti trans views exist across the political board now.

 

[nottsgirl]

I’ve really started liking Cerys Matthews recently. It’s a nice vibe for a Sunday morning.

 

[Sweet FA]

She's the best thing on 6

 

[nottsgirl]

Love this song.

 

[nottsgirl]

They played Nina Simone yesterday and they’re playing her again. I approve.

 

[Petcha]

Christ it's Glasto weekend.

You get a couple of songs then Laverne spending 20 minutes chatting to someone who played Doctor Who. And then repeat.

 

[PursuedByBears]

On the whole I'm enjoying the Glastonbury coverage but there's far too much chat and not enough music. And they keep playing that bloody Gossip track over and over again!

 

[neonwilderness]

Tbh I think I prefer Lauren Laverne doing the later slot, shame it's only temporary. I did think I'd massively overslept when Mary Anne Hobbs came on at half 7 though

Do you mean like Orbital playing Doctor Who or like Patrick Troughton playing Doctor Who?

 

[CNT36]

I hate it when people call it "Glasto".

 

[CNT36]

I saw him at Glasto a few years ago. The highlight was singing along to over the hills and far away.

Cunt.

 

[Petcha]

I think i've heard approx. 30% of actual music today. the rest of it fuckwits massaging their own egos by massaging other people's egos.

let it rain.

 

[Petcha]

And I assume we still have Huw fucking Stephens waiting in the wings too

 

[PursuedByBears]

And I assume we still have Huw fucking Stephens waiting in the wings too

Huw "work experience boy from local radio" Stephens? Of course. For hours.

christ they've got Grimshaw presenting on 6 now. even as a temp slot for just this weekend that's too much.

When he was on radio 1 in the evenings I used to call him up and text him asking what sort of fucking name he thought Grimey was. The twat.
