BBC6 Radio - comment, discussion and moans

It's as if all that Save 6 Music was for nothing.

 

[Libertad]

Huey's on fire this afternoon, funk out you mothers

Is it possible that Sean Keavney is depressed? I certainly think he has low self esteem. His self deprecating humour, due to his lack of funniness, seems to indicate a degree of self loathing. It's possible he actually realises how bad he is. The music is good but the talking is terrible, like all of 6Music. A simple solution would be to sack him and move Hawkins up. I think everyone would be happier, not least Keavney.

She sounds like she's talking to five year olds at the moment.

 

[The Boy]

That's just how she speaks, isn't it?

She seems to get worse when there's live bands and a crowd involved.

 

[The Boy]

Ah, I see. I thought it was her awful interview technique that was being questioned.

 

[gabi]

it does seem a shame that the weekend DJs seemingly pulled 6 back from the dead and the weekday DJs are killing it again. is it a different controller?

im honestly enjoying Absolute waaaaaaay more these days and that's a sorry state of affairs.

 

[DotCommunist]

can't stand the adverts and prevelance of dadrock on Absolute

 

[editor]

Can't do adverts.

 

[gabi]

There's not actually many adverts on Absolute. very few in fact.

They have different stations for different decades. I like the 80s one. 90s too. old fucker.

 

[DotCommunist]

That Jeff Lyod is that rare thing, a DJ who is actually funny. But the adverts rule it out.

I'll take one minute of adverts every 30 minutes over 10 minutes of Radcliffe & Maconie being hilarious between every song

 

[editor]

I don't like listening to decade-themed stations either. I want to hear old and new.

 

[gabi]

You won't much of either on 6 during the day

 

[DotCommunist]

you will with lavergne, annoying though she is.



maconie and whatsisface proper spank the radio 2 theme, interspersed with playlisted new music.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

I wonder how many Moyles listeners have re-tuned to Keaveny...

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Anyone managed to view the whole Bat For Lashes session from today? Can only find the single online & nowt at all on red button.

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

I had to turn the radio off because they were going on about Bat for Lashes so much. An average singer song writer not worth the relentless spiel.

^ wrongness

I don't like 'Laura' much, but she has an amazing voice and is great live.

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

I wonder how many Moyles listeners have re-tuned to Keaveny...

And then tuned back to R1 when they realised it was possible to be as banal as Moyles without a posse or any celebrities

 

[Johnny Vodka]

^ more wrongness

Never listen to a dog.

Did you ever have the misfortune to hear Moyles? He could talk for the best part of half an hour without playing a record.

 

[temper_tantrum]

How hard is it? Just play the music FFS. The chitchat is unwelcome. Any station that gets this, while introducing me to new stuff and providing enough context/intro to give added value, will get the loyalty of my ears.

'Celebrity DJs' meanwhile can fuck off with their blabber.

TBH no, I listened to half a show in 2006 but couldn't hack it. I thought the weird thing about Moyles when I listened to it that time was the 'ironic' references and stylistic similarity to the DLT/Bates era of R1 including the jingles. It was like he was subconsciously projecting the fact he was dated, past it, useless, unfunny and should be sacked. It only took them another 6 years to get it. By that metric we should be stuck with Keavney for a decade.

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

And Steve Lamaq is a boring old anorak.

 

[skyscraper101]

All the daytime DJs could should be axed if you ask me.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

It is the only station that could get excited about playing old Longpigs songs.

 

[King Biscuit Time]

But it's 'Sheffield Day!' I'd still rather listen to someone drop a canteen of cutlery off Stanage Edge than listen to Radcliffe and Maconie though.

 

[DotCommunist]

steve lamaq has some features and phone ins that sound like shit thread ideas

 

[Johnny Vodka]

But it's 'Sheffield Day!'

I don't care what day it is. Admittedly, I bought a couple of Longpigs singles back in the day but I can't believe anyone still finds value in them now.
