Are Dusky that bad?

Radcliffe and Maconie are my Sunday morning at work listening and I am slightly in love with them both, especially crisps on the radio.

Used to love Mark & Lard back in the day, but Radcliffe & Maconie or Radcliffe on his own are terrible. Maconie on his own is good though.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

I wish they'd drop their playlist. I must have heard that "Ladies for Babies" song half a dozen times today.

That song is fucking terrible.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

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've always found Craig Charles annoying. I kind of like Nemone and MAH for their taste in music, Keaveny used to be okay in the mornings (but doesn't work for me in the afternoon). Love Tom Ravenscroft and Gilles Peterson still.

With Craig Charges and Gilles Peterson, it's just not my genre. I try, but I end up turning it off.

I don't like everything GP plays, but I like his presentation style/personality and he has expanded my tastes a bit.

You should meet his son!

 

[Johnny Vodka]

You should meet his son!

Why? Does his son find him annoying too? I know a few people who LOVE Craig Charles, most of them much younger than me. It's a mystery.

No. His son is off the scale annoying. He is quite talented as a musician but he once cleared the stage of a jam session when he joined in and tried to take over!

Yesterday I was subjected to an hour of Radio 1 then Kisstory, for another hour, quite loudly.

YOU TRULY DON'T KNOW HOW GOOD 6 MUSIC IS.

 

[spitfire]

Iggy's playing some lively soothing jazz right now. Real lounge lizard stuff.

 

[spitfire]

Well he was.

 

[Dom Traynor]

3 and a half years after leaving the country apart from Facebook Cerys, Namone, Charles, Peterson, Huey and Robinson are the constant links to home for me. Despite various bad habits they play good stuff. If it wasn't for them I'd be on Spotify 24/7

 

[pinkychukkles]

Alas, I have given up on 6Music, there just isn't the 'hit' rate of discovery for me like there used to be from the early 2010s (I even made a YouTube playlist of the songs I discovered on 6Music in 2011). My radio now plays what I stream from my NAS via the Audio In jack or the BBC World Service.

Indeed. Big up the unexpected bossa nova fans posse

Apart from Liz Kershaw who really should fuck off to Radio 2

 

[Athos]

No. His son is off the scale annoying.

He's a weapons grade prick.

Not that I wish to make light of illness, but... Tom Ravenscroft is sitting in for Sean Keavney today

Always perks me up when he sits in for any of the daytime presenters.

Indeed, but got to be honest last week there was a definite dearth of something to listen to 1pm-4pm last week, so will be nice not to have to search for something.

Assume that means Mary-Anne Hobbes is back, as Ravenscroft was subbing for her last week.

She's back. Craig Charles was subbing for her last week. Ravenscroft was subbing for Lamacq.

 

[Cerv]

Ravenscroft was subbing for Lamacq.

best thing to happen all last week
I wish Lamacq all the best in his retirement if it ever happens

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Iggy's show on Friday nights is fantastic.

 

[PursuedByBears]

I'm very fond of Don Letts' Culture Clash radio show on Sunday nights as well.

Shaun Keaveney has grown on me like an annoying relative you get used to over time and even phone up at times, despite making fun of them with your immediate family.

I miss him now when he's not on for days!

I quite liked him in the morning (hugely preferable to LL anyway), but not that fussed with him in the afternoon. Weird, huh?

 

[editor]

OK, I quite enjoyed the last hour of Mary Anne Hobbs but then doesn't employ 'comedy' sound effects and endlessly talk shit like that rampant jabbering buffoon Keaveny.

 

[rubbershoes]

The weekend schedule has been adjusted. More Gilles Peterson and no Liz Kershaw
