[QueenOfGoths]

I'm rather enjoying the Bass (how low can it go) Day today

 

[BoxRoom]

Not surprised Keaveney is on the list of people who can't hear "Camberwell" without doing a whole bit about the Camberwell Carrot.
When is he leaving!?

I think he said that was his last show

 

[spitfire]

Sorry hatorz, Shaun is on the schedule up till the 6th at the moment. Yes I checked, god I'm bored.

 

[spitfire]

Not sure I can do 3 hours of UK Garage...

Apparently I can. Quite enjoyed that, especially the half hour speed garage throwback mix.

 

[BCBlues]

Both Don Letts shows over this bank holiday have been superb

Did he mention if he ever used to be in a band?

 

[BCBlues]

Oh yeah, he even played a cover of E=mc²

9 shows left, end of next week.

Ok. So I got a bit of heat last night from my slightly former partner last night for getting Keaveny sacked, apparently there were tearful scenes on Twitter. But fuck it. I had to do it. I'm sure he'll get a nice gig elsewhere.

I'm moving on to my next target. Can we discuss Gemma Cairney? She seems to have adopted his style of talking over songs. Good or not good?

 

[Sweet FA]

He's funny, I like him and you've all been really horrible

 

[Petcha]

My former partner is also a fan and informs me he's dating Mary Anne Hobbs. Yes, he's a nice bloke, I'm sure she is as well, and she's a far less annoying person, but no. Don't speak over Nick Cave thank you. I didn't want to send on that chart someone did upthread to his boss but hey, he spent about 4 hours doing it.

 

[Petcha]

Wrong thread!

 

[Johnny Vodka]

I'm moving on to my next target. Can we discuss Gemma Cairney? She seems to have adopted his style of talking over songs. Good or not good?

I've warmed to Gemma slightly, mainly because of her love of Scotland and she seems like a nice person. But she can undoubtedly be annoying in a radio 1 sort of way.

Keaveny is dating Hobbs? Their handover conversation is pretty much always excruciating...

She had an interview in the Graun last week and she was relentlessly perky in that too. Still gets on my old jaded nerves I'm afraid. She doesn't have the music chops of MAH either which compensates for the excessive simpering on her show. I also like MAH genuine enthusiasm for new music even if the way she gets it across is a bit cringy sometimes. She liked one of my tweets once as well so she's OK.

I always though the handover was a bit flirty but citation needed!

 

[Petcha]

I've googled it and I'm not actually sure where former partner got that from about MAH. Will request further info. Watch this space.

 

[Sweet FA]

Someone has very helpfully compiled playlists of Ezra Furman's shows in Riley's slot a couple of weeks ago. Also the 'Loud & Proud' ones from June. Pretty much all of it absolute gold. I love her.





I've been listening to a lot of her own music too, also excellent.








I'm a bit obsessed.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Quite enjoying this Maya Jane Coles mix. No idea if she's considered good these days or not.

 

[nottsgirl]

Too much jazz today.

 

[nottsgirl]

Bit torn as it’s Liz Kershaw now but the music is good.

 

[nottsgirl]

It’s ok, cognitive dissonance gone as she just cut a really good song off in the middle, nice one Liz.

 

[Sweet FA]

I'll be interested to hear how she makes it all about herself and tells of her own experiences of racism in the 70s.

 

[Sweet FA]

There we go - "I've been in a band"

 

[Sweet FA]

I can certainly see how your experiences with Carol Vorderman in Dawn Chorus and the Blue Tits chime with the experiences of The Specials.

 

[bellaozzydog]

Oh god, Kershaw on racism

fucks sake

 

[Sweet FA]

The poisonous cunt.

 

[bellaozzydog]

And her guest has to finish the show by correcting Kershaw on the thing they have been talking about throughout the show and actually sat in to record the show

Does anyone else remember those Blue Jam Radio 1 DJ stings? It's got to be time for Chris Morris to do some for the 6Music shits now.

This was the Moyles one.

Spoiler: graphic description of a DJ dying horribly

Up on the roof a naked DJ smears himself with jam
One final pleasure in the abject misery of his self-knowledge
He's distressed, we can hear that now
Sobs wrack his body, and somehow threaten to spoil the moment for a moment
But now he's back on track, throwing the coil of three-core around his neck
He checks the knot, and steps off the edge
Now before the cord pulls tight, he shouts; 'I'm Chris Moyles, please forgive me!'
and the windows all around fly open, and a thousand voices cry out; 'No fucking way.'
As his spine is snapped apart, I'm thinking; 'God, I hope he heard them'
