It's definitely getting poppier, I wonder is it a deliberate "lift the spirits" playlist. And if I hear Moni in the Middle once more....

Clams on the half shell, and roller skates.
To some extent I agree. But I imagine him having to do the Trunk Of Punk through gritted teeth, so wedded is he to Funk.
That's probably unfair and none of these DJs are stuck in musical silos anymore than the rest of us.

I'm not so sure about that, I've heard him talk about some of the old punk stuff like it wasn't scripted and having just had a quick squizz at wiki, he was in with Teardop Explodes/Julian Cope and the Liverpool scene so I would say he was at least aware/on the fringes of the punk scene when he was a teenager so his tastes are probably a bit more catholic than we may give him credit for.

She's terrible at interviewing as well. I've noticed a few times when the interviewee has responded in an unexpected way and she's just gone "hmmmmm" like she doesn't know how to respond.
I used to like her and stick up for her, but I now get the annoyances other people have found. Her taste in music is generally decent, though.

I was never keen on Craig Charles however have really been enjoying him standing in for Lamacq, especially the 'trunk of punk'.

Hahaha I imagined that too!

Exasperated, not angry.
‘In with’ wouldn’t be the term I’d use. He was definitely part of the scene, but his most notable interaction with JC/TE was jumping on their stage just before they started and reading off a poem that was rather rude about Mr Cope. He doesn’t get a mention in Head On.

You clearly know a lot more about it than me so I'll go with that as my knowledge was scraped off wiki.

I believe this be the poem:
He’s really into the music scene
No-one’s been but he’s been
He saw The Pistols at The 100 Club
He fucked the girlfriend of a UK Sub
‘Cos he’s really into the music scene
He told me Strummer was a queer
Said he bought Siouxsie a beer
When he mentions Ian Curtis, well, he always sheds a tear
‘Cos he’s really into the music scene
He was a punk before ‘76
He said he lived with Crass – they were a shower of pricks
Roger Eagle wanted him to manage Eric’s
‘Cos he’s really into the music scene
He taught Pete Wylie all he knows
Used to manage The Bunnymen and The Teardrop Explodes
He’ll tell you everything because he knows loads
‘Cos he’s really into the music scene
“What’s his name?” I hear you shout
I can’t say; he’ll sue if word gets out
But I’ll tell you something that’ll give you hope
It begins with ‘Julian’ and ends in ‘Cope’
I never said it was a good poem...

Definitely demonstrates a familiarity with punk though.
(I quite like it but I'm very unsophisticated when it comes to poetry
).

Maybe everyone should stop listening to it
I am still enjoying it more than any other station despite the occasional annoyances.
I like it! Have it on all the time. Can't be fucked with Spotify, bag o'shite.

This sounds like he's mixed up Julian Cope with Bill Drummond.

It is awful. Badly misjudged.
did I detect a certain air of "I can't be bothered anymore it's my last day"?

I think he might just have been trying to cram too much in.

I've only started listening over the last two years, previously I thought it only played dreadful indie crap. I used to listen to 1xtraCan't say I've ever listened, my radio is permanently tuned to R4.
Iggy Pop, Don Letts, Huey Morgan, Gilles Peterson and Craig Charles are pretty good IMO
