BBC6 Radio - comment, discussion and moans

Spotify ------>

Some people like radio shows, the chat, the shit jokes, interspersed with some decent music (most of the time). I'm not sure what else you would expect from a daytime radio show? everyone latches onto BBC 6 Music but it's one of their main stations, it's never going to be wall to wall tunes.

I've always liked radio, with people chatting sometimes, other people don't.

It's one of those stations that's a go to. Keeps this listener in touch and nostalgic about living in the UK. And ever still, being introduced to new music. Like hearing the voices, even the annoying ones.
 
Finding Hawkins a bit vanilla/wallpaper.

Also he reminds me of early starts when I have to meet a delivery at 4am, which I hate. Don't mind him at that time tbh.
 
Anything up with Gilles Peterson?
His show’s being covered by Nabihah Iqbal today and it must have been a last minute thing as they’ve not even updated the EPG.
 
It's a regular, albeit very dull and pointless feature isn't it?

Like ventriloquism on the radio, it's not really the medium.

Why the fuck has some bloke been given airtime to talk about his favourite fucking recipe?

Because the new 6 isn't about music anymore it's about people and their fucking hobbies (non music related). Sadly, I tune out of 6 more than in these days.

I wonder if any readers, ever, wrote in and said, "Hey, we'd love it if some chef we'd never heard of gave us the recipe of his favourite chicken wrap while he namechecks some songs that you play about 5 seconds of"?

And then there's the maths of fucking life... radio six from 930 to 10am is basically radio 4 these days.

At no point in my life have I ever thought it would be great to have a chef babbling on about his recipe for a chicken wrap on a music station, so I'm not sure where 'getting old' comes into it.

Chicken wrap is where it's at with the younger demographic?

Honestly, it's hardly George Lamb, is it?

Did you actually hear the section I'm referring to? But if you want to patronise young people by saying they want to hear some old chef that no one's heard of barking out ingredients in an echoey room, you go right ahead.

My 10 year old said he was ashamed of me when I turned up the radio and sang along to Salt 'n' Peppa's Let's Talk About Sex. I always find it ironic when they do this retro going back in time playlisting because that's mostly all they ever play in the daytime anyway . Like, who has ever thought OMG, Radio 6 are playing Supergrass, that's a novelty, must be something special going on? I listen to WFMU which is genuinely innovative and exciting but can't be arsed casting it before I go to work. Tbf, Radio 6 played Bikini Kill the other morning and it cheered me right up.

isn't it supposed to be parents who scold their kids for singing along to filth?
I can feel his embarrassment from here

I wasn't really paying attention today but didn't realise until about an hour ago that they were doing a special day. So you have a point!

I get told off for swearing as well. His dad and I love music, play it constantly, took child to festivals from early age and so now the 10 year old will only listen to the 8 bit soundtrack from Zelda and has been in trouble for refusing to sing at school.
 
Got to admit that this 1991 day is reminding me how dull I found Nirvana at the time compared to how good all the techno and baggy stuff was.
