BBC6 Radio - comment, discussion and moans

[Dr Nookie]

How old are you?

Old enough not to feel the need to alter my opinions to gain everyone's approval!

I'm not sure what is the most annoying: Colin Murray's soundscape or the oft-repeated trailer for the stinking pile of shite.

Perhaps it's more 'experimental' than we're giving Colin Murray credit for. Perhaps the experiment is to find out what happens when you pollute the nations airwaves with trailers for a pile of shite radio show constantly for week after week.

Now Laverne's gone all mumsy shouty because SHE'S AT A GIG.

Oh, and now it's Richard Hawley playing. There's an unexpected treat. Never hear him on BBC6.

 

[DotCommunist]

tell you what, whenever Namones on watch for the 'OOOH' count. She does this contrived gasp of awe after every track she feels deserves it.

now I've mentioned it you won't be able to not notice it and it will annoy you as much as it does me

 

[krtek a houby]

I still listen on Sundays. Marvellous; every day should be like that.

So tell me, has the weekday quality gone way down in the last 3 months or what?

I was listening to R6 about 11pm on Monday night and there was I think a Irish DJ on (not Colin Murphy)..anyone know who he is? I listened for about 30 minutes and he played cracking records none of which I knew. I tuned into Lauren from about 10.30 this morning and thoroughly enjoyed the Richard Hawley session.

 

[editor]

"Our adorable guests...."

Oh great. Another advert for another show.

 

[teuchter]

Editor, if you want to be less annoyed my suggested solution is to not listen to R6 in the daytime. It works for me.

I like to listen to live radio when I work and this is - sadly - is still the best I've found.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Is there not an online station you could listen to (presuming you can listen via a such-enabled device)?

Something like Dandelion or WFMU? Or one the of the myriad I'm not even aware of? Dunno if you'd get UK news, if that's part of the reason for listening live, mind.

 

[teuchter]

Resonance FM?

 

[pinkychukkles]

or WFMU?

Well worth trying, although even there, despite there being no adverts, a couple of the presenters can be annoying but it's an excellent public funded radio station.

 

[moonsi til]

Colin Murphy was dreadful yesterday and the news today sounds like it is being read out by a game show host!

 

[editor]

I refused to turn on BBC6 yesterday for fear of hearing that prick Murray do his ludicrous soundscape.

 

[May Kasahara]

talks a little rather than so much you want to kill him

he could say one word per show and i'd still want to kill him. between keaveny and emeli sande, my reflexes have honed to lightning speed and i can now leap across a room to switch over within half a second of hearing either of them.

still enjoying lauren laverne, still wish lamacq would laleave, still love tom ravenscroft.

 

[DotCommunist]

are they all scabbing today?

 

[butchersapron]

Nope, it's news only out today. But that's never stopped Lamacq et al before has it?

 

[belboid]

just read the History of the NME book, and in there he was always a staunch supporter of the strikes.

And then he got famous, I guess. Twat.

Lauren Laverne and Gideon Coe didn't cross the picket line.

 

[DotCommunist]

good on them, laurens annoying as fuck but fair play

What the fek is fekking Colin Murray doig on Radio6? didn't he sacrifice his entirely theoretical musical credibility to become the BBC's ubiquitous 'Mr Sport'. 6Music is becoming a radio one retirement home. I can't imagine the presence of Radcliffe & Riley is anything to do with what listeners actually want to hear. And if I wanted to here the drone that is Steve Lamaq I'd go to my nearest crap pub and find an ex roadie to talk to about 1970's guitar cases with because at least then I'd be able to drink heavily whilst being bored to tears..

 

[King Biscuit Time]

Riley's show is fantastic as far as I'm concerned.

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

When he appears in the nonstop self aggrandising 6Music adverts saying 'who'd want to hear a show presented by a dullard like me' I wonder 'who indeed'. Now I know.

 

[editor]

I'm sure she must be someone famous and dead cool and all that, but the voice of the woman who's on now is unbelievably grating.

 

[King Biscuit Time]

That woman who reads out press releases 'presents' Techno-how on Laverne's show.

The worst kind of student radio tosh.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Please never play the fucking Parma Violets again. Utterly dire indie landfill that seems to be on all the time.

 

[editor]

So she just faded out Bowie's 'I'd Rather Be High' - the first time I'd heard it - for some indie landfill shite.

 

[butchersapron]

And we give her money to do that.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

They should stop playing Parma Violets.
