Gemma Cairney is killing me every morning
There is nothing she can’t dumb down or misunderstand completely
Putting me right off my cereal

She really is terrible. I listened to five minutes of her nonsense by accident and had to turn off.

She seems like a nice person, but she's more than a little annoying. I don't think it was that long ago she was on radio 1?? It shows.

At least GP is back tomorrow.

MAH playing some bangers today. Justin Robertson mix was good in a nostalgia kinda way.

Fucking hell, how long is this extremely average Fabio/Grooverider mix going to go on for?

They wait to see if you post anything here first

Well Lauren Laverne read one of my tweets out this morning so 6Music is the station that can do no wrong as far as I'm concerned.

 

[spitfire]

Loving the metal \m/

Why do all you people listen to this station if it’s so shit?

Even when the presenters are annoying, you're usually not too far away from discovering interesting music.

its better than the competition, I dislike adverts. When the new DG from the arshole factory axes it instead of Andrew Niels salary I'll be forced to listen to youtube playlists. With adblocker on.

Slayer!

 

[Petcha]

There are many ad free and DJ free radio stations out there

I genuinely really like 6Music.

 

[skyscraper101]

I genuinely really like 6Music.

I find it irritating, but it still has its moments (Ravenscroft, Freak Zone etc) there's still nothing as good on the BBC or commercially, nationally speaking. Back in the day GLR or XFM would've pissed all over 6Music. Even early 6Music was way better.

I'm not loyal to any one station though. I'm just glad we live in an age where Spotify is always within easy reach.

 

[kalidarkone]

mx wcfc are you listening to Amy Lame`? Its a punk special! I'm really enjoying the diversity of the genre as she is playing afro punk too.

Wasn't early 6 music more guitar/indie music (or at least that was its reputation)? Many folk that complain about 6 music now say it has far too much hip-hop/pop/jazz/anything that's not just white lads with guitars IME. Personally, I love the musical diversity now. The debate is only ever really about how annoying some of the presenters are.

 

[spitfire]

Lamey is certainly putting on a better show than usual. She obviously knows a bit about punk. Her first ever gig was the Ramones!

6 is the only radio station I know that will have half an hour of banging drum and bass followed by half an hour of metal as it did on Friday. That works for me.

there has definitely been a shift towards more diverse music. Again. Works for me.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

I don't care what music Lame plays. I just find her too irritating to listen to.

Listen to it on the iplayer- I reckon you would enjoy it, specially if you have a comute or a long walk.

I found the guy Garvey -Diana Rigg tribute show moving without even making the connection between the two

But TBH only Cerys saves Sunday for me, Lame is an annoyance and Garvey is a bit self absorbed and smug

Paula Temple guest mix currently blowing away my Autumn inertia

It's pretty slamming.

Shout out to Mr Keavney today for playing the unedited version of "I wanna go where the people go" by The Wildhearts which includes the line "I wanna be where the cunts like me are buried six feet under ground".

 

[bellaozzydog]

Guy Garfield is a self absorbed smug twat

Apart from his bollocks take on shit his inability to get artists names pronounced right is a Mega professional discourtesy

It’s either lazy arrogance or shit production. Either way he is coming across like Liz Kershaw another idiot DJ who couldn’t get a fact straight using a steel ruler

Really spoiled my afternoon or painting and decorating

Pull his plug please

 

[krtek a houby]

Great documentaries, great music. One or two shit presenters is a small price to pay.

Just heard Hew Stephens mention this. Has anyone seen it?
