[Johnny Vodka]

Oh, great, some sort of Britpop season and the chance for Steve Lamacq to push dullards like The Verve again.

Damon Albarn's actually pretty talented, but much prefer Gorillaz. Blur were better the less 'English' they got.

 

[savoloysam]

About as talented as my arse after too much guinness and curry and they never got any better, ever

 

[DotCommunist]

Gorrilaz were OK. Ilove that 'tomorrow, tomorrow comes today' tune.Well downbeat and excellent whistle bits

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Plastic Beach is a cracking album, and I love the live DVD of the previous one, particularly Shaun Ryder's performance.

 

[la ressistance]

Nope, think Jarvis has taken a yr out and iggy has stepped in. Fucking hope so anyway.

Does anyone else think Radcliffe and Maconey come under the failed comedians list? It always ruins my day a bit when it hits 1pm and I have to hear that banging donk intro. I would happily sack all of the weekday crew bar Lauren Laverne and Gideon Coe. Glad to see that Steve Lamacqs frankly gross noshing off of Damon Albarn has been noted, surely such pathetic gushing appraisal shouldnt be allowed pre-watershed.

 

[editor]

That fucking annoying trailer for the BritPop vote. Twats.

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

I remember Brit Pop and I remember Steve Lamacq and I also remember him having fuck all to do with it.

 

[DotCommunist]

Jo Whiley was around and did punt brtpop a bit. Mad for mogwai iirc. and Arab Strap, remember them?

 

[The Boy]

Jo Whiley was around and did punt brtpop a bit. Mad for mogwai iirc. and Arab Strap, remember them?

Not really Britpop though>

 

[xenon]

Thats not brit pop. I still listen to mogwai. Listening to JW makes me pray for a brain seasure. For her or me.

 

[belboid]

"an outer-suburban, middle-class fantasy of central London streetlife, with exclusively metropolitan models." Jon Savage on Britpop, spot on as usual.

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

Wiley and Lamacq had a rubbish show called 'the evening session' which was on throughout most of the dog end of the era..

 

[editor]

That breathless fawning everytime an artist does a live track is a bit much.

 

[twistedAM]

Jeez people, other stations are available. Tune In radio app os the way to go.

 

[andysays]

I agree 100% with the general thrust of this thread, but there's always Iggy, for a two hour master class in how it should be done.

From The Nitty Gritty by Shirley Ellis to the Second Movement of Gorecki's Second Symphony.

 

[gabi]

Jeez people, other stations are available. Tune In radio app os the way to go.

Yes. I listen to the Music Machine 2 on that app now instead of 6. no ads, no talking.

 

[editor]

The station appears to be borked.

 

[editor]

This on hold 'joke' is FUCKING ANNOYING.

 

[DotCommunist]

it would have been funny the first time, but he's milking it. And having people text in how long they've had to queue in the past is veering on Patridge

 

[editor]

Who the fuck is this guy?

 

[DotCommunist]

tv comedian. Playing some tunes though. Gil Scott Heron ftw

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Nice to hear Rob Da Bank doing another 6 Mix last night. Wonder when R1 is booting him.

 

[Betsy]

At least Lamb was controversial. Sure he was a dick but it was fun seeing the amount of people getting wound up by him. It was entertaining. We don't have many controversial DJs left on daytime radio the UK any more.

Laverne is just plain dull... just like most of the daytime 6 Music DJs sadly.

I will never forgive him for usurping the lovely Gideon. Seeing his name (Lamb) made me think I haven't heard of him for a while ( I'm not complaining mind) ... anyone know what he's up to these days? As for Lauren I used to like her more once over than I do now....I find her a bit annoying now.

 

[DotCommunist]

Tom Ravenscrofts trail, droning on about how he doesn't see the point of genres cos he's mr fucking eclectic. Well, yer dad was a nonce.

And R1 is booting him and he is joining 6.
