BBC6 Radio - comment, discussion and moans

[pinkychukkles]

Ah yeah, forgot about that.
lols aplenty, drunkeness and the interweb communications in general do not make a good mix - did she thank him in her acceptance speech?

 

[gabi]

i dont think she won anything. i think huey was just having a scattergun rant at everyone really.

 

[krtek a houby]

laverne's actually preferable to the 'jolly' idiot on now (radcliffe or maconie, cant tell them apart) with their fucking 'chain' segment.

Radcliffe is awful on his own. Maconie is streets ahead; his musical enthusiasm and knowledge is entirely suited to 6, I reckons.

She came 2nd (or 'got silver' as they put it) in the 'radio personality' category. First was Chris Evans, incidentally.

Edit: I wish Radcliffe wouldn't say 'err err err' in that characteristic way of his. It's terribly grating. Other than that, and a bit too much talk, he's not so bad.

"y'know, err, err..."

I don't mind Radcliffe & Maconie *that* much. Dad rock seems entirely appropriate for that time of the day, and they throw in the occasional curve ball which is nice.

Tempted to write to the Director General of the BBC and demand that John Cooper-Clarke get a permanent gig. His show is now my new favourite ahead of Huey, but only another two to go

 

[skyscraper101]

It's not the Dad rock, it's their endless boring laughing-at-their-own-crap-jokes which is what needs fixing.

 

[temper_tantrum]

I'm with you on John Cooper Clark. Shall we go and chain ourselves to the railings up in Salford Media City (ugh) ...

 

[gabi]

Yes. I don't even notice what music they play tbh. Coz there aint much of it. It's just hilarious banter between two guys who clearly relish bouncing off each other. And my fucking god, it's hilarious.

Say Balearic one more time Lauren I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker

 

[King Biscuit Time]

Mark Radcliffe (and his various cronies, Kermode, Armitage, Newman, Hegley, Riley, Bailey, MacMillan) were the soundtrack to the most important years of my adolescence - so it pains me to say that he seems to have become an insufferable, boring, old witterer. I can't abide him on 6Music, and I think he drags Maconie down into the depths of Smashie and Nicey in a way that Maconie doesn't do when he's on his own.

 

[DotCommunist]

there was this hideous bit Radcliffe did when on his own the other day where he pretended to interact with a puppet. It was about as funny as bowel cancer and I think even he was ashamed of himself

 

[fredfelt]

In the afternoons for me it's Radio 2 and Radio 3. I cannot deal with the dull Radio 6 afternoon slots any more.

It's either than or 'listen again' to Lauren Laverne rather have Radcliffe droning on in the background.

I feel that Radio 1 has bouncers at the doors and I'm too old to get in.

 

[gabi]

Today her theme is 'how are YOU coping with this hot weather?' which she's repeating after every song.

its 20 degrees you dick.

 

[editor]

I wish someone would invent an automatic live Laverne cut-out filter, so I could listen to the radio without her fucking babbling on abut People's Playlists, Biorhythms and fucking Twitter.

 

[London_Calling]

Haven't you posted variations on that sentence for 17 pages now

 

[temper_tantrum]

I'm getting really bored of them playing the same station ident over and over and over again. Hearing Laverne solemnly intone 'no other station owes their listeners what WE owe OUR listeners AND EVERYBODY HERE KNOWS THAT' over and over and over and over afuckinggain is making me lose the will to live.

 

[DotCommunist]

it is about as genuine as a werthers original grandads intent as well

It's better than Lamaq twattering on about gigs he went to in the nineties.

She's from Sunderland, 20 degrees is hot.

 

[DotCommunist]

oh fuck me, most excruciating interview ever. What do you do as two white northern radio guys when a clearly wasted old carribean man comes to some promo shit with you. Thats right lads, try to engage him in the whole skinhead chat about how punk and reggae fused. Wicked! Now play bob marley's 'punky reggae' and bump fists.

I don't pay my license (I don't, at all) for this level of shit.

 

[editor]

It's turned into Radio One.

 

[pesh]

Don Letts's show is alright...

 

[temper_tantrum]

Enjoying Mark Ronson's first 'Month of Sundays' slot atm.

 

[gabi]

Oh good, radcliffe/maconie has begun today's show in a comedy french accent. joy.

 

[editor]

Shame he's got such a horrible, nasally, droney voice, though.

 

[temper_tantrum]

Shane he's got such a horrible, nasally, droney voice, though.

Yeah, he does sound REALLY unenthusiastic about the whole thing. But otoh at least he doesn't talk much and plays lots of records - that's the kind of behaviour I like in a DJ

 

[skyscraper101]

I can't stand that 'Teea Time, Theme Time' jingle. I want to throw things at the radio every time it comes on.

 

[DotCommunist]

its the duck squeak at the end that does it. Smashy and fucking Nicey

 

[skyscraper101]

Radcliffe & Maconie are the epitome of everything that is shit about 6 Music. I hate them even more than Laverne. At least she occasionally plays a decent track.

Here's one of the lines from their hilarious tirade of laughing at their own jokes from today:
"Have you ever pierced the ear of composer Philip Glass, let us know"

FFS. You unfunny cockends.
