BBC6 Radio - comment, discussion and moans

[editor]

So I gave Gilles Peterson a go, but after four of the blandest, most cocktail bar-esque, mid tempo smooooooth piano tinklers, I'm out. Sorry Gilles, but I'd hoped for better.

There were these two people just now talking every second all the way through a track I would quite like to have heard

I'm at work so was listening as well and just turned it off. Cillian Murphy is NOT Friday night material.

So I put this on instead. DWNLD

Run The Jewels new album. It's rocking. proper hip hop.

Cilliam Murphy has quietly been playing an absolute fucking blinder on Friday eves. He can have Iggy's spot for as long as he likes.

 

[spitfire]

I like his show and I also like Iggy's but Iggy is a better fit on a Friday night. Isn't the Cillian show a repeat of his sit in for Guy Garvey?

Personally i'd give the Friday night slot to Nemone, reckon she'd smash it out of the park.

 

[Sweet FA]

I hear you; I've got a folkie head on though and CM is fitting the bill perfectly. Iggy's too challenging for an early Friday eve imo. I'm just an old MOR git

ETA agree re Nemone.

 

[spitfire]

Like but lol at old MOR git.

I listen to Iggy on the sounds app when I'm cycling up a big hill; I just want him back at any time

He'd be a perfect replacement for The Freak Zone. Much more varied and interesting.

Gilles Peterson really should stop going on about how many black mates he has.
*turns off

 

[Johnny Vodka]

That bloody house music feature. Cringey and as unfunny as fuck.

Just maybe he does. If you know Gilles' history, he could hardly not comment on that stuff.

Come back Craig, all is forgiven. There's a time for Steve but that time is in the early hours of the morning.

I just can't do it. Everytime I hear that fucking advert I download another podcast.

I’ve stopped listening to 6 music altogether. It’s lost something and filled the void with banality.
I’ve been listening to Solar Radio on the radio player app for the last fortnight. At least they are playing music not spending hours talking bollocks.

Just looked for that on the TuneIn radio app via the tellybox and no luck.

It used to be on sky and freeview but it’s only on the Radioplayer app these days. Besides being online.

Seems they are going all in on this Glastonbury celebration. Feels like every track they place is a live one.

I think one of the presenters may have mentioned it was supposed to be Glastonbury this weekend.

 

[MBV]

Its only a minor moan - I'm rarely a fan of live tracks unless I was there when it was performed.

Oh really? I must have missed that

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Been enjoying the Al fresco solstice Freak Zone show Maconie did. Even some nice classical pieces included. Not what I normally listen to.

 

[editor]

What the fuckity fuck is this 'space' shit that's on now?

 

[MBV]

Lammo needs to exercise some quality control. I don't care if it's a free for all, it still needs curating.

After loyally sticking to R6 for "background music while I'm working at home" for the last 3 months, I finally gave up today and put my music on.
I guess I'll still listen in the evenings, but I am done with the daytime offering.

 

[PursuedByBears]

Daytime radio is terrible on most stations tbf

I gave up when Craig Charles stopped covering the afternoon slot.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Nemone back to giving us breathing exercises.

I turned on the radio as was making lunch and that fucking shit started up, off it went. Why is such fucking garbage allowed on a *music station?

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Fuck, she's at it again. This is probably the worst minute of radio you'll hear all day.
