BBC6 Radio - comment, discussion and moans

I've been a defender of 6 music for a long time and consider myself more tolerant than most.

But really? Charles followed by Lamacq? They're trying to push me away by foisting these cunts into my ears (that's what comes of mixing one's metaphors).

I welcome recommendations as to what to listen to between 13:00 and 19:00.

Something from BBC iPlayer, something on worldwide FM or NTS, Spotify.
 
I still have a soft spot for Lamaq. Yes he churns out lots of dreadful landfill indie, but you can’t deny his passion and love for that scene, and he’s still out there most nights of the week at various gigs. I’ve had a couple of pints with him and we had a good chat about the state of live music and what it means to him, he’s definitely one of the good guys in the industry.

Genuinely good to know; thanks for that.
I'll try to be a little more tolerant...but somehow his style, jingles and annoying shite just remind me too much of the old school R1 tosh that we had to put up with back then.
 
So looks like Afro Deutsche is taking on the Friday slot with what looks like a magazine format finished off with a mix.

It's all a bit vague but I think she is doing every week with a guest. MAH played a really good mix from her at All Points East so this could be a good listen. Iggy Pop first guest, lol.

I usually have the radio on in my shed on a Friday night with a few beers and my middle aged hobbies so looking forward to this.

Kick off the weekend with The People's Party, an energetic celebration of the end of the working week. Iggy Pop joins Afrodeutsche as the first People's Party Selector to talk through his two track choices, which will inspire the rest of the show's selections. Hear rising country superstar CMAT in conversation, as well as Manchester producer Werkha who is bravely taking on the first Unmixable challenge. And Afrodeutsche will be in the mix for the Phones Down Finale, picking up the energy to kick start Friday evening.

 
I thought they chucked Shaun Keavney out to appeal to a younger crowd? Craig Charles is fucking gash. I like him as a person, but fuck having him daily. Been trying to give the fella a fair go, but someone just mentioned the name Dan and Charles went, "Dan!, Dan!, Dan! - every time I hear the name Dan I'm reminded of that Alan Partridge show"

Not enough of these :facepalm: in the universe.

I am struggling with him. He's not really gelling at all. I ended up listening to the T20 instead.
 
Amy Lame just finished with a mix of horror film themes or something. Some bloke introduced it who I gather is/was involved and important. Surprisingly enjoyable for 7.50 on a wet Sunday morning!

Yeah, half an hour and it was mostly pretty obscure stuff.

There's also a John Carpenter Freak Zone mix, but it's more the typical horror film music.
 
Last night's Freak Zone episode proper has a John Carpenter interview and generally more obscure scary music. Listening back now.

Charles is older than Keaveney. It makes no sense to me.

I did give Charles a go yesterday, good to have an open mind etc.

He spent most of the time laughing uproariously at each thing he said.

But the things he said weren't funny. :confused:
