BBC6 Radio - comment, discussion and moans

Lauren Laverne being on holiday or whatever can only be a good thing.

Gosh I am pleasantly surprised by the Craig Charles show - a delightful remix of Heard it Through the Grapevine on just now and one that was new for me, lush it was

 

[CNT36]

Thanks, now I have a more tangible reason for hating GP.

His shows are shit, the music he plays is pretentious shit. Same goes for Maconie, stroking his chin deep in thought while I have to endure whatever breakthrough Peruvian nose flute techno quartet shite that he has decided is worth playing.

I enjoy music on Craig Charles and Hughie whatshisface shows, I have to mentally switch off when they talk though.

Maconie went up in my estimations for a few minutes a few weeks ago when he played a Wipers track. Turned out a guest had chosen it and when Maconie did his usual reading the wikipedia page schtick it became apparent he'd never even heard of them. Twat.

Had this on a cd used to listen to a lot about six years ago - always wondered what it was

The bhangra and beyond documentaries are fascinating, can't say the same about the Coldplay concert now playing...

ohmygod, I missed a Coldplay concert?? Thank the stars I had a break in my run of insomnia!

First time coming across this sing-a-long thing. Wondering how cringey it's going to be.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Theme is meant to be songs about doctors. Fuck all of the songs have been about doctors so far.

very. it’s very cringy

in the last week before the shutdown, Laverne took part in something where breakfast DJs across Europe spontaneously the night before all agreed to play Gerry & The Pacemakers’ You’ll Never Walk Alone in sync at 8.
this weekly BBC thing just feels contrived in comparison with being so heavily trailed each day

 

[CNT36]

I think I heard this once a few weeks ago. They played one song to sum up the station. 6 played some shite by Prince.

 

[editor]

I briefly tuned in and it was the bloke from Groove Armada taking about cooking his favourite meal. So off the radio went.

I listen to it when im cooking on a Saturday night. Love it.

And just listened to that song you linked. Jesus christ.

 

[Mattym]

This Goldie set is wicked, but very similar to the mix cd he released a few months ago.

Also had it for a few years now. Craig Charles played it a couple of years back on his show & I just thought 'Wow'-Sort of a track that fits with Blondie - Atomic & a Tarantino film.

ETA- When it first came out, Grant Lazlo put it on Soundcloud as a free download. Can't find it now though.

 

[CNT36]

It seems that stand in DJs are more often than not better than the full time ones. Craig Charles being one despite talking over records. It could be familiarity breeding contempt it maybe anyone half decent has something better to do most of the time.

I did un E in my pants listening to Jeff Mills just now

 

[spitfire]

Oops missed that. Be one was playing some decent tunes earlier. Bassline wobbles.

 

[spitfire]

Nemone ffs.

 

[rubbershoes]

I'm never up at 5am to hear him, but Chris Hawkins plays some great tunes. Who else would play this?

He's great. Working from home means I'm up later, so I miss him. Love his humour.

I never hear the show, just pick up the music on the scheduler.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Nemone ffs.

I think the best thing I ever read about Nemone is that she sounds like she's still coming down from a Groove Armada gig in 1998. She does play some decent music, though.

 

[rubbershoes]

Cerys just dropped this banger.



Perfect soundtrack for making stuffing*


*not a euphemism

she does.

 

[editor]

Oh for FUCK'S SAKE. That Keaveny cunt is doing his 'comedy' accents and an impersonation of the bloke from Countryfile over the intro music. For fuck's sake. Shut the twat up.

 

[Cerv]

Gilles Peterson & Craig Charles both nailed it Saturday’s all day rave theme. going to hit that up on whatever the BBC are calling the listen again service this month.

and Charles now playing Billy Preston My Sweet Lord. he’s so much better than Lamacq’s regular show ever was it’s embarrassing. I just hope he doesn’t burn out with all this extra work and his regular slot start to suffer.

 

[editor]

So after his hilarious 'Arab' voice impression that unfunny cunt Kauveny is now doing a Roland Rat impression.
And so the radio goes off again. I won't be listening to anything he does ever again. Shame. I used to like BBC6.
