IS she the cunt that does the voiceovers for the Persil ads? Can't stand her if it is.

edit: For bring a pain in the arse, not for the persil voiceovers. Although don't help, obvs.

i quite like the bowman/buxton combo. i previously hated buxton when he worked with that other guy. but he seems much more funny/mellow with her.

 

[MillwallShoes]

I'm sure she's absolutely lovely in person and all that, but there's only so many times I can be implored to fucking "Twitter in what you think" in a morning, or hear about her husband, or her kid.

The show is on BBC 6 Music. Not BBC 6 "Twitter us NOW" (with a bit of) Music.

i turn off if i see that she is on.

So Mary Anne Hobbs is now doing breakfast at the weekends... I really wish she'd stop over-enthusing about everything.

Since when did 6music become the new Radio 1 retirement home?

I don't have a huge problem with that. There has been, and still are, some good specialist DJs on radio one. Gilles Peterson's show is probably my current fave on 6 music. I don't mind Hobbs and I think she knows her stuff, but the over enthusing does my head in after a while. I'm surprised there's no weirdy electronica/dubstep on her show now - thought she would have crammed a little of that in somehow.

jarvis cocker is now officially the most irritating dj, playing the least amount of actual music, on 6music. an achievement.

Thank god, I thought I was the only person who felt this way!

 

[gabi]

it seems like sacrilege to say so. but im afraid 5 minute long recordings from the 50s of posh people talking about the planets or whatever he was doing this afternoon when i tuned in just AINT cool. surely he could play those on his website if he wanted... not on a publically funded *music* station.

cerys in the morning was wonderful though.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

So which one of these did you vote for?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/vote/100-greatest-hits/

I've already voted for The Killers ten times.

 

[editor]

Fucking hell. Mark Thomas is currently being "interviewed" but he can hardly get a word in edgeways.

Edgeways. That's a funny word.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Oh dear. 6 Music listeners vote Coldplay's 'Clocks' as the best song of the last decade.

 

[fredfelt]

"We don't work music, we play music".

I'm not a violent person but on hearing Paul McArtnery endlessly repeating this line on a trail for R6 makes me want to break things.

 

[pinkychukkles]

I know what you mean.
Adam Buxton made me laugh taking the piss out of that McCartney contribution a few weeks back on the show he does with Edith Bowman on Satdee mornings.

 

[DotCommunist]

fuck off vampire weekend you novelty act

This I find completely perplexing. I can't recall hearing Coldplay played much at all on 6 Music......

Townsend can fuck off too

"A broadcaster with almost no sensorial mandate or agenda"

WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Maybe they've stopped playing them so much now? Hopefully this isn't a cue to play more... It's the kind of result I'd expect from a radio 1 or 2 poll, though, to be fair, the top 20 or so had its share of not quite so big bands.

'censorial'?

bookless cunt

 

[readergirl]

Bloody referrals to Facebook constantly. I don't want or need FB

 

[editor]

Fuck's sake. Why can't this fucking twat play just one song?

Is this the Colin Murray show you're referring to?

 

[editor]

Yes. What the fuck is he doing?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh, isn't this the 'soundscape' thing, so the second 30 minutes is no DJs, just recorded audio (but more than just music, as I understand it)?

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Yes, that's it. I don't mind it, actually.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

He'd better work in some duelling banjos.
