BBC6 Radio - comment, discussion and moans

[Johnny Vodka]

Been loving Cerys Matthews Sunday shows this year. Great music, no smugness and she knows her stuff.

But doesn't play any techno.

 

[vogonity]

I didn't realise there was a jazz version of Everything In Its Right Place.

Surprised me too! I loved it...

 

[cantsin]

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.

Yep, perfectly reasonable to judge 30 yrs of Peel via a simple Ash vs Teenage Kicks comparison - and then still manage to come up with Ash as the winners ....

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Mornings on 6 Music have been much more bearable since Nemone has been covering for Sean Keaveny. I expect he'll be back next week though

 

[youngian]

Still can't believe no one will give Andy Kershaw another chance(what a waste!).

He's delivered some snide digs on his Facebook about why he would better than this or that person on BBC6. And he's probably right, the BBC appear to be satisfied with his One Show reports on the histroy of paper clips or whatever so he seems to be sober.

I think we all know why teenage kicks was his favourite tune. I'm sure she looked older than she was tho.

Because it's a fantastic tune?

Mary Anne Hobbs was so much better than Laverne today.

 

[fucthest8]

Mary Anne Hobbs

I absolutely fucking loathe her. The way she talks actually makes me angry.

As you were.

MAH is great and plays some fantastic tunes.

 

[cantsin]

MAH is great and plays some fantastic tunes.

+ is deeply knowledgeable in a way LL isn't ( though LL wldnt pretend to be properly nerdy like MAH)

 

[FridgeMagnet]

If only we could keep the holiday lineup that would be great. Apparently though during work months we want to be irritated in the daytime.

I came on to post exactly this It's a sad fucking day when Nemone makes a welcome change to proceedings.

 

[editor]

Fuck's sake. Had to turn off the hippy shit that 's playing now.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

I was a bit sceptical because they've gone on about it so much, but some great live performances from 6 Music festival on their site: Hot Chip, The Fall, SMD, Kate Tempest, Jungle...

 

[gabi]

She has just presented a documentary about... herself. Well, other Sunderland bands too I guess. But it was pretty fucking nauseating.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Not quite the new Jo Whiley, but maybe 75% of the way there.

 

[editor]

God, Giles Petterson is awful.

 

[moonsi til]

Yea I'm not a fan of his tunes either, there is the occasional one but not often enough to keep listening. I'm glad Cerys is on now.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

God, Giles Petterson is awful.

No, he isn't. I really like his Sat afternoon show, even though I wouldn't buy much of the music he plays. Go figure.

So where is the 6 Mix type content going to go?

 

[innit]

Brilliant news. 6 mix is no loss imo.

Brilliant news. 6 mix is no loss imo.

It is if you like electronic/dance music and don't want to have to turn to radio 1.

Put it on the other for the first time in a while. So many dull tunes that I started rethinking my totally rational hatred of George Lamb. Couldn't find radio 2 quick enough.

weekday its not great- I usually tune in for the weekend shows which are markedly better

 

[craigxcraig]

Jarvs Cocker yesterday was appalling - had some robotic furby in the background and was having a Conversation with the thing. absolute worst part of the weekend, him coming back.

awful.

awful.

The trailer he's done for the show is insufferably, toe-curlingly bad.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

I had in my mind that Jarvis C was awful, but I heard a bit yesterday and he weren't that bad. He played some John Carpenter and Angelo Badalamenti. I tend to think 6 Music should be gently educational.

Have a word with yourself. Radio 2
