Craig Charles is an even bigger turn off than Keaveny imo. At least Amy Lame is in a more missable slot.

Yeh. I agree. He's no less irritating. I can't remember what his policy is on talking over the end of songs mind you. These slots tend to be locked in for years so brace yourself for a healthy diet of 'funk and soul'. That's arguably the prime time slot in many ways. For office workers anyway which I assume make up a big chunk of their audience.

I hope they find someone good to replace Iggy, I like the mad stuff he plays. Bebop, old punk, jazz. Big shoes to fill. However glad to hear he'll be on Sunday's instead, Lamey grew on me a bit but I find her quite false and her insistence on playing a Morrisey tune every show grated.
Craig did a bang up job for Lamacq in Lockdown 1, very enjoyable, bit of energy to him. I can see why people find him annoying but he's a bit of a force of nature. Myself and my ex, had a mini row with him once in Garlic and Shots, there was a saxophone involved and much booze had been taken by all parties so it was fairly good natured but spirited words were had about something or other...
Looking forward to seeing what is on Friday's, hoping for something a bit more house/techno, Blessed Madonna has been a lot more disco than I expected but decent nonetheless. I must say though I don't listen every week by any means.

Even Craig at his most annoying is only about 1% as annoying as his son.

Garlic and shots does have a weird effect on people. It's like walking through the looking glass. You emerge blinking, thinking 'what the fuck was that'. In a good way. I've had odd discussions in there too but no recollection what about. I wonder if it's open again? Although I can't think of a more covid friendly cave than that.
Craig Charles is one of the best presenters on the BBC, but how is he really going to cope with doing a new 5x a week daily show plus keeping his 2 existing weekend shows?
Glad to see Amy Lamé getting the "fuck off no-one is ever listening to this" early weekend slot. Good riddance.

I'll be very glad if I never have to hear Chaise Longue again!

Why is GP claiming Portishead's cover of SOS is a brand new track when it's been around for ages?

This Tygapaw mix is slamming.
Yeah just heard that, brilliant.
Tomorrow is 80s All Day Rave
That was great!Channel One.

It was. I was supposed to go out and get my dinner but stayed in to listen to it. Love Channel One. Lovely people too.
I loved the different use of percussion/drumming styles- might try to rip an MP3 of it.
It was. Reminded me, somehow, of the whole loopy techno thing in the late 90s.This Tygapaw mix is slamming.

Walty McWaltface
Yes definitely reminded me of that time as well. I was DJing back then and some of it could have been from tunes I played BITD.
Likewise. I can't say with conviction that I heard any Player/User or Recycled Loops tracks, but there were definite notes of them throughout.
Lol- just looked at the tracklist & the only thing that fits my description above is a Samuel L. Sessions track.
BBC Radio 6 Music - Mary Anne Hobbs, Tygapaw With The Friday Guest Mix
I'll be honest in admitting that I don't really get the 'Sci-fi fantasy world' connection? You could really play any techno, well, decent techno & create that vibe.

Missed it but Ravers is going full 90's later I believe. Hopefully proper 90's bangers, not like Keaveny's usual selection of pop house hits.
