BBC6 Radio - comment, discussion and moans

[Petcha]

Lamacq currently playing Blue Lines in its entirety with the odd interview in between. What a fucking record.

 

[PR1Berske]

Lamacq has just mentored Frank Turner, if you had that on your bingo card.

I've given up now. I can't take it anymore. As soon as I hear Keaveny's voice I have to switch off and 6 times out of ten when I turn it back on there's decent music playing. The other 4 he's hilariously talking away over a perfectly good song.

Can someone recommend me something with none of this bullshit? Yes, I have spotify, but the reason I listen to 6 is to be surprised by new music and old shit I might not have heard in ages rather than relying on my own brain for this.

CDs/vinyl/mp3s

 

[Petcha]

Yeah, I meant more like a radio station. Where I don't have to choose. 6 is fine when it plays music.

I listen to shows on NTS from time to time, they seem to be pretty good.

People these days are so passive and lazy. Get yourself some gumption and take responsibility for your own entertainment!

Some people are too busy to be umming and ahhing every hour or so wondering what to put on next.

Spotify Discover Music playlist, Release Radar playlist, artist radio playlists are all good for new-to-you music.

 

[spitfire]

Schedule - Soho Radio can be good.

Spotify is brilliant for this.

 

[rubbershoes]

Spotify is brilliant for this.

It just suggests the same bands to me over and over. I'm probably doing something wrong

 

[Orang Utan]

Only when they don’t talk

 

[krtek a houby]

Ugh he’s the Kenny G of the piano

Looking forward to hearing Kenny G, in that case

Do you like/follow songs and artists on there?

 

[killer b]

I'd rather have a DJ who knows their onions tell me about new releases than whatever spotify's opaque algorithms have decided / been paid to decide I might like.

 

[Petcha]

During the day it's largely based on the playlists. Mogwai were quite pleased last week on their facebook:

But even then, the people selecting those have much better taste than me

 

[killer b]

oh, I know. I wouldn't listen to Radio 6 in the day, it's terrible.

 

[rubbershoes]

Do you like/follow songs and artists on there?

I mark some as favourites

 

[spitfire]

Kershaw Watch Day 7,321.5

She's gone till September.

Rejoice.

 

[spitfire]

And Jamz, the face of modern Britain, absolutely smashing her weekly mix again. All is well.

 

[moonsi til]

Yep absolutely loving Jamz , she played a track I need to ID -was played around 14.52 & had African beat & very hypnotic.

She played a really good dub techno/electronic track today which I must find.

Yea -that’s why I clocked the time.

 

[Maggot]

I don't know who the Blessed Madonna is, but she's playing some brilliant tunes tonight.

I usually switch off after Craig Charles, but glad I didn't tonight.

Quite a famous club DJ, used to be called the Black Madonna.

I usually switch off before Craig Charles.

You're missing some great tunes.
