BBC6 Radio - comment, discussion and moans

You need to retune as some local transmitters have altered the frequencies slightly.
It disappeared because the radio did an auto retune. For two days the only BBC channel that was coming back up was BBC Surrey. Now all the rest are coming up except for 6.
 
Anyway good stuff on 6Music - Craig Charles, Gilles Peterson, Cerys Matthews, Huey (sometimes), Ravenscroft (sometimes), Annie Nightingale, MAH (sometimes), Tom Robinson, Namone, Don Letts when he's on.

I like Craig Charles on a Saturday evening, Cerys Matthews on Sundays and Iggy Pop confidential on Friday night. Have recently got into Cate LeBon and Sleaford Mods thanks to Iggy's Confidential.
 
So I turn on BBC6 for the first time and it's the 'handover' to that fucking idiot Keaveny who thinks he's just invented the phrase, 'farce of nature.' What a clueless, unoriginal, unimaginably dull cunt.

Appreciate Keaveny is not to everyone's taste (didnt like him at first) but have to balance this out with some love as I am one of his daily listeners. And was even on the show bit a bit for his 'Small Claims Court' section

He's a fucking unfunny dickhead with a wildly over-inflated opinion of his own 'comedy.' If I want infantile sound effects on top of music or an appallingly bad comedy routine, I'll go to some shit cabaret club.

:D

Like Spod, I didn't like him until I changed jobs and ended up listening to him for a 20 min commute every morning; I quite like him now. Then again I like an infantile sound effect. (What was your CTF, Spod?)

Likewise I've warmed slightly to Lauren now she's doing the breakfast show; she's calmed tf down and has played some good tunes in the 20 min slot I listen to.





On that front; is the thread title fair now - this is more of a general 6 music chat thread isn't it?

I've updated the thread title - thanks. I'm sure Keaveny would be great on hospital radio or some regional 'drivetime' slot but BBC6 Music is supposed to be about music - not droning 'comedy' personalities who never shut the fuck up.

Found him easier to listen to in the morning than friggin' La La. Way too chirpy and that house music thing is surely one of the most shitty and unfunny features ever.
 
Fucking hell. What is this fucking shit playing now? I've given it another go and the first ten minutes were some incredible dull nerdy bloke talking about his shitty mix, then a shit hop hop song followed by some bedroom faux-house/dance that sounds like the faceless stuff that the billionaire Housebreaking toffs churn out . Just awful. Awful.
 
I quite enjoyed it to be honest. A bit of fluffy house from back in the day but I just caught the second half.

And now Frankie Valli and the 4 Seasons. 😎

It was cheesy as fuck and went on FOREVER and now that bumbling unfunny cunt Keaveny is on. I used to love BBC6 Radio (and GLR before that). I don't think I'm ever going to listen to it again now.
 
Riley's quality, (except when he has to interact with anyone live when he can be toe curling :facepalm: :D), Gideon Coe is good. Garvey is a nob but always quite comforting on a Sunday pm. Lamacq has some really fucking annoying habits and a shit taste in music but I still listen. Obviously the answer is just to have Cerys on all the time.
 
Radcliffe and Maconie are my Sunday morning at work listening and I am slightly in love with them both, especially crisps on the radio.

I fucking hate Shaun Keaveny and Mary Anne Hobbs voice annoys me.

Bloody love Craig Charles and also really enjoy Tom Robinson.

People I know tell me Charles is a massive bastard and he's irritating on the radio but he plays some great tunes. Robinson's always a bit like a bumbling uncle.
I wish they'd drop their playlist. I must have heard that "Ladies for Babies" song half a dozen times today.
:D
