BBC6 Radio - comment, discussion and moans

We can look forward to a little less Beastie Boys than we'd get on a Saturday morning.

A what now?


I like 6 Music, but NTS Radio plays a wider variety of genres, and is beating 6 music at its own game. It's also less self-congratulatory, and has less chatter.



Since I found NTS, I don't think I'll ever need 6 music ever again. It's amazing. Try it out.
 
Sleaford Mods taking over Iggy Pop for an hour was good but all too brief. Will check out the Billynomates one later.

Giving it a go now.
 
I've started a thread to get some momentum going. But I put in the wrong forum. Sorry Ed!

Can I get it on DAB? Sound good.

Does it have adverts?
 
Sadly it's only online.

I'll be binning 6Music at home for this (thanks Favelado ) but I'm stuck with DAB in the car. Generally like the music on 6 but the presenters need to shut the fuck up as almost all of them are terminally annoying now.

Use an aux cable to connect your phone to the car speakers.....thats what I do to listen to spotify on the way to work......although I'm sure you have thought of that! :oops::)

I have (thank you though!) and the phone does the Bluetooth to the car witchcraft. But I'm on a limited data plan and with the amount of driving I do, streaming Internet radio would put me into overages every month.

Also I'd rage if the connection dropped out during a much loved tune.
 
Yes, it's so much better when he's on instead of bloody Lamo :rolleyes:

Lamo- Have I mentioned it's national wear your music t-shirt to work day, today? Have I? The idea apparently came from me, originally. Have I mentioned that? If you haven't heard, I've made an ad that's been played everyday for the last 3 months on the hour every hour. Please turn up to work in your Kasabian or Guns N Roses t-shirts, or even Wolfmother, if you want to push the boat out a bit. Remember everybody loves music and will appreciate your efforts.
Or, we're having a 6 music festival....etc, etc......

Even way back in the Radio 1 Evening Session days his show was a bit boring, and if I remember correctly, introduced the world to the horrors of J* W*****. He seems a thoroughly decent fella, not a bad bone in him, but he doesn't have a good radio voice at all - it's a total Nigel-drone. I just don't like listening to him.
 
Had to turn off this morning when the presenter was banging on about cold water swimming with the presenter that was hosting the next show. I'm sick of hearing about it.
 
God, I'm having PTSD about Whiley now. The memory of her makes me ill. Did she ever not insist on telling everyone how "amazing" the last record was? Even when it was the most conservative (Cast), or Conservative (Sleeper), wet-blanket, Beatles D-Side of a 90s indie record, she would talk about it with the type of awe you'd reserve for having witnessed Nelson Mandela take his first steps of freedom.

I think she's one of the worst people who has ever lived.

I agree, that he's very agreeable. (Sounds like a quote from the man himself).
With R6 you sort of enter 4 zones (edit- have changed it to 5)...1) of great DJs
2) DJs you appreciate but don't always/often like the music
3) DJs who you don't really like but you're used to the R6 formula & routine, so you allow yourself to listen to them, because R6 is all about the music & acceptance
4) DJs you never hear due to anti-social programming- eg. I've always wanted to listen to Nemone's- Electric Ladyland, but I don't really bother with catch up unless it's Tom Ravenscroft.
5) Early Saturday afternoon DJs.

Quite impressed with the couple of dips I've had into NTS now. Could see me listening to it more than 6 Music, though it's harder work than listening to a station based mostly on a playlist.
