BBC6 Radio - comment, discussion and moans

[Johnny Vodka]

It’s not even the best station for music. Why are they doing it to themselves?

Depends on the show, doesn't it? I've started listening to WWFM and Don't Assume too, but they're also impossible to listen to all the time without hitting long stretches that you're not into.

 

[spitfire]

I can imagine lots of moans from editor today.

It's not doing much for me tbh.

Not listening!

 

[Johnny Vodka]

They are deffo taking it a bit too far.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Flip between Radio 2 and one of those commercial stations that plays the same 10 songs on repeat for similar results.

 

[starfish]

Well im dancing round my home office.

We'll have less of that positive attitude around here if you don't mind.

 

[spitfire]

I've fucked it off for a podcast. Some were tunes but some not so much...

 

[Petcha]

Backstreet boys on now. I'm secretly enjoying today a lot.

 

[Petcha]

I come from a land downunder now. What a fucking tune.

 

[colacubes]

Honestly this is the greatest day on 6 Music ever.

 

[Petcha]

Honestly this is the greatest day on 6 Music ever.

It was. And then Keaveny turns up.

 

[starfish]

Honestly this is the greatest day on 6 Music ever.

Thats a bit of a stretch but its certainly been fun

 

[Petcha]

i've had to turn it off. the contrast between ravenscroft and keaveny is so fucking massive. it was fun with tom. now it's awful. god he's a dick.

 

[bellaozzydog]

I concur

 

[spitfire]

I like pop music but just no.

 

[Favelado]

Not even Automatic.

 

[Orang Utan]

Not even Automatic.

Yes we can can is their best

 

[Favelado]

But I didn't have the 7 inch of that.

 

[moonsi til]

My friend was in a huff on FB about this & my partner switched off but I’m going upstairs for a listen whilst I potter.

 

[Favelado]

I think this even this has been stolen from the Breakfast Show on NTS where they have the very occasional 'dad bangers' morning.

Who needs to 'admit' pop is great? It's about three times more radical than fucking indie, which is surely the most conservative of all genres. Which type of music pushed sonic boundaries more in the past twenty years - pop or indie? It's got to be pop.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Today has been brilliant, if only due to all the moaning indie dullards on Twitter etc

I don’t understand - it’s a pop station

Indie is a subset of pop

 

[Me76]

It really helped me get energised this morning.

Then I had a load of meetings and the afternoon wasn't so great.

 

[Favelado]

Indie is a subset of pop

You could argue that it is or it isn’t and make a decent case either way.

 

[spitfire]

I didn't listen to 6 as much as i do on a normal day as I wanted to get the fuck out of dodge (work) and drink some beer in the sun.

But it was 50% shite and 50% bangers and the shite was annoying shite.

I genuinely do love lots of pop music but this did not work for me.

Same as their rave day when Keaveny just spins loads of bubble gum Positiva shite for 4 hours.

It's been a long time since 6 Music could be considered an 'indie' station just.

Actually, most pop music has been driven by developments in dance/electronic music.

day's like these really show up that Keaveny's just a comedian / presenter.
Ravenscroft on the other hand has a knowledge and passion for music that shines through everything he does. it'll be a sad day if the station ever lose him.
