BBC6 Radio - comment, discussion and moans

[editor]

Keaveny is just *awful*. A smug unfunny pointless fifth rate 'comic'. Anyone doing 'comedy' voiceovers to fucking Star Wars sound effects in 2012 should be despatched to the nearest job centre.

can't listen to 6 music before 10 pm weekdays cosof keveny


Dunno whats going on with the croonery dirges today

 

[editor]

The woman doing the weekly extended Apple advert is even worse than the bloke they had.

I tuned into XFM for the first time in ages the other day, and Mary Anne Hobbs was creaming herself over just about every band going. She really has jumped the shark spectacularly, I remember quite liking her on the breezeblock a few years back.

I was quite chuffed to work out how to get 6 Music here on the car stereo through a bluetooth/tuneIn/4G combo on my phone, however being 8 hrs behind means that Steve Lamacq is on during my drive to work

 

[gabi]

Jarvis is currently jumping the shark even more spectacularly. We've had 15 minutes of a reading of Winnie the Pooh, and it's still going.

Fuck off dickhead.

Who's the deadly dull bloke being interviewed now?

Kid something i believe i caught, sounded pretty stoned.

I'm surprised Guy Garvey gets so little mention on this thread.

My radio 6 listening is generally limited to weekends/late evenings and he's the worst as far as I'm concerned. Did you know he's the lead singer of Elbow? The lead singer? Of Elbow?

 

[TitanSound]

Oh, you mean the fat bloke who sings for that shite band? Elbow is it?

 

[teuchter]

Yes, I think he mentioned on air once that he is the lead singer of a band. I think it might be Elbow. He should mention more often to make sure everyone knows.

 

[DotCommunist]

on the Plus side they've gortLou Reed in to do a few shows soon, that should be good

 

[Lord Camomile]

Lou Reed, the lead singer of The Velvet Underground?

I listened to one the other day - it's basically two drug-addled old chaps talking to each other very slowly but it was good and I enjoyed the music they were playing.

 

[gabi]

Cunts don't come much more cunty than Lou Reed. Fuck 6music.

 

[skyscraper101]

Perhaps he's going to talk about his next exciting project with Metallica.

 

[editor]

Wish that northern twat Marc Riley would shut the fuck up. I had to turn off the radio.

 

[teuchter]

Is the fact that he is "northern" significant / relevant?

 

[editor]

Is the fact that he is "northern" significant / relevant?

Yes because he makes a massive deal about that.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

He was better when he was Lard. Together Mark & Lard were great. Apart? Hmmm.

At least today is a Gilles Peterson day.

I can have too much of Buxton sometimes and I say that as a person who goes to his Bug music video evenings regularly. I've only listened to this for about 10mins though.

wheeling out the old bowie anecdotes

Heard them 1,000,000 times before

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Quite enjoying this show, much better than John Holmes guy (who'd have me switching off).

 

[DotCommunist]

Jon Holmes is a bellend.

I was prepared to go into 'outraged listener' mode for A&E but thought it was OK in the end.

Did anyone else note Nemones self absorbed whinings about how 'she really liked Manchester but couldn't make doing the show there work'. It grated for two reasons, firstly don't go on about liking Manchester so much if you can't be arsed to go there to do your show. And secondly we don't care that you are leaving. When Ed Stourton left Today it wasn't mentioned until the end of the show and then someone else said 'thats Ed's last show, thanks Ed' which is THE dignified way to go...

 

[DotCommunist]

Yay, nemones leaving, she is boring as hell

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Who's taking her place? I don't mind her; she seems to like her dance music more than other presenters on the station.

 

[editor]

Turned on the radio, heard that twat Adam doing a desperately unfunny song about broccoli while his dull co-host added some pointless comments on top. Turned off.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

It's actually an okay-ish show.
