Childish, so to speak, but true. Never saw why he was so revered really. I mean, teenage kicks? Decent song but I reckon even the likes of Ash recorded better.

Chris Hawkins is wasted in the nighttime slot. Great music, great dj. Seems like a thoroughly nice chap to boot.

Ravenscroft's trail really fucks me off. I'm a serial offender for using the word 'like', but if you're a fucking radio presenter then you ought to, like, know better.
There's something about the trails on 6music that are particularly irksome. Is it because they're overplayed, too 'quirkey' or just that they sound shite and are recorded by twats. Even so, even the ones for shows and presenters I like make me want to put my foot through the radio and send Mary-Anne Hobbs and her fucking dancing weekend the bill.

magical pixie musical journey cerys trail is shit. Ravenscroft 'I'm so eclectic I shit world music' annoys
and that cunt who does avant garde electronica 'i'm going to play stuff you probably wouldn't like if I didn't get you into this shit'
the only good trail is for craig charles funk and soul

Nowt wrong with Jessie Ware or Tom Ravenscroft.
JW probably has some appeal to the average 6 Music listener (who doesn't want to listen to r1).

She makes good pop music. She's as alternative as many of the 'indie' bands played on 6. I don't really know how big she is with the yoof anyway.

I like Ravenscroft. I don't know how much of that is down to how much he sounds like Peel though. Even Laverne is fairly palatable compared to Radclife & Maconie.
I still listen to a lot of R1 specialist shows as they seem to be slightly less up their own arse and more about new music. Anything daytime though is mindless patronising shit - especially Newsbeat. I can't believe it was that dumbed down in the early 90s when I was like 10-15yrs old. Listening to it recently sounds like listening to childrens radio.

cant understand why so many people are down on 6 music when its head and shoulders above other nationally available stations. I dont like all the DJ's either but there you go. Unless you have found a niche /local station that fits your preference, if you have a taste for the slightly alternative you would miss it if it wasnt there

I bloody hate Steve Lamacq, "Lammo", as the douchebag likes to call himself, or simply "Boring Man" as he's known in my kitchen.
I found this thread, indeed this website, by Googling "lamacq boring". I have no idea what this site is except, hopefully, some kind of anti-Lamacq pressure group.
I work evenings, and generally have radio 6 playing except when it gets intolerable. And this is generally about 30 seconds before the start of his slot.
His tedious interviews with boring members of the public make me want to hurt things.
I think that he sometimes plays cheery music, but it's hard to tell if that's just a pleasing placebo effect that happens when he stops talking.
If he would stop doing shows on BBC 6, and then didn't move in next door to me or try to strike up a long-term friendship, then I suppose it would be OK if he continued to live.

lamacqs got a terrible drone on him but I quite like his 'round table' thing where some talking heads get together to slag of a few singles

Steve Lamaq for his boring 'good day/bad day' feature where a listener rings in and chats breeze then picks a record, featured today a man who was a benefit fraud investigator. So I turned it down.

Been loving Cerys Matthews Sunday shows this year. Great music, no smugness and she knows her stuff.
If only there was a handy gadget which reacted to talking, damping down the tedious wittering and leaving us with the music alone. I rarely listen anymore as I found I was leaping up to turn the volume down, thus avoiding the likes of Lauren Laverne, Radcliffe and Maconie, Lamacq and the ghastly Craig Charles, droning endlessly on - they appear to love the sound of their own voices and the shite content which issues forth from their ever-open traps. I also dread the return of Cocker since Sunday afternoons tends to find me in the kitchen - his grim funereal mutter, along with the direly dreadful crap he plays, has often left me feeling slightly suicidal in that best miserable Sunday tradition.
All-in-all, I have better luck pulling a CD at random (since offspring totally crapped on my alphabetised, labelled and boxed collection, it is always random now).
