BBC6 Radio - comment, discussion and moans

aren't these events days usually pushed on them by the station rather than the presenters' choice?
like the constant plugging for BBC Sounds. they're probably as bored of plugging it as you are, but some exec has a target for how many people get on the listen again service to check out Sign o the Time day

I dunno, some presenters seem to go on about shit more than others.

She has form. I'm sure you already know but no harm in sharing again.

The first one is the one that gets me, if there was any nation state that wanted to cause harm to a UK nuclear power station they wouldn't be sending the operators over on a lilo from Calais.

They'd arrive on valid passports through a major airport and disappear afterwards.

She's as dense as a neutron star.

I don't understand why Amy Lamé has a weekly show. she's truly awful.

can't guess why they've given her a week to cover for Gideon Coe other than literally no-one else* was available.
it boggles the mind that while she's again under fire for being so absent at her full time job (her words) in the mayors' office that she'd not think it looks really bad to be moonlighting even more than usual. it's a PR job FFS so you'd think sending the right message would be a consideration.


*the awesome Tom Ravenscroft seems to be the usual supply teacher for anyone, but he's already covering the early breakfast this week.

Ah bollox, I'm working evenings this week and usually like Gideon Coe's show and also can't stand Amy Lamé. A friend of mine is a well known promoter on the lesbian scene in London and has VERY little time for her.

Her tenure as Night Czar has been useless.

Yes, she is bloody awful. As for the Night Czar thing, I've heard her try to distance drugs from dance music, when how to integrate drugs safely into clubbing is probably one of the biggest issues in the night time economy. I do think there's a diversity aspect to her employment in certain roles because I'm struggling to see what else she brings. :hmm:

Thanks for the heads up. Mental note made to turn the radio on tomorrow morning.

(I have nothing against Chris Hawkins, and everyone says he's a lovely bloke, but, after years and years of his show when my alarm clock goes off, I have given up)
 
I can just about put up with Mary Ann Hobbs filling in for Shaun at the moment. She doesn't seem to do as much breathy sucking in but I do fucking hate her announcing the song just starting by chanting the title it in parts over the intro. See West End Girls earlier :mad: Bloody cheesy wedding DJ trick that.

FTR I do like Shaun. It took me a bit of time to get his sense of humour but I enjoy the chats and features. If I want lots of music I'll stick on my own tunes. He has a good genuine interest in music. Same with Laverne. I like her too. I even sometimes switch over to Radio 1 and listen to Greg James when I'm feeling down wit' t'kids :D
 
So had to put up with Lamey sitting in for the sainted Cerys this morning and now she's on for Tom Robinson as well. Fucksakes.

Apparently she had access to Cerys music library but she still managed to make it banal.
 
fucking hell. I switched off this morning as soon as she came on.
never been a fan of Robinson, I find him dull, but decent enough for background music over dinner. switched on just now and it was not a pleasant to find that she was on again.
I'd rather they just ran repeats.
 
A positive came out of it though, I discovered Cerys does a Blues show on BBC R2. Will definitely have to check that out.
 

BBC Radio 6 Music celebrates independent music as it returns to its pre-lockdown schedule

From Monday 7 September, BBC Radio 6 Music will return to its pre-lockdown schedule.
www.bbc.co.uk

the old permanent schedule is being reintroduced from Mon 07/09. if you can remember that far back to pre-March.

I'm quite pleased that Mary Ann Hobbs will be on every week now instead of alternating with Keaveny. also Hawkins is back entirely to pre-alarm clock.
 
I like Amy Lame.
I enjoy hating Guy Garvey.
I cant bare Chris Hawkins and when I'm up at 5am for a shift I listen to 5 live.

Im not keen on Hughy .
Gone off Steve Lamaq since Craig Charles did a much better job when he sat in for him. Also I think he looks like Golem.

Its just background music while I'm cooking/washing up etc.
