I concur. It is a feature that should never have been greenlighted. Who actually likes it? Probably the same people who like dancing around the kitchen.

I’m gonna give a shout to Chris Hawkins as he is probably my favourite show on 6 Music these days. I just wish more of the daytime DJs were allowed that amount of free rein to play a mix of mainstream/old/classic/new/indie/pop etc and also not be interrupted by news, promos, and jingles all the time. It’s really refreshing by contrast not to have all that. He also doesn’t try and be mr. comedy (Keaveny) or bore on about bands (Lamacq et al.) He just keeps it lively with the perfect amount of input and charisma, and mostly just gets on with playing the records.

Funnily enough he had Andy Cato from Groove Armada on last week who is now also a farmer, so the time of day was probably ideal!

I feel sick
Huey's show is good today.
Blurb:
Huey brings you a turntablism special featuring a Block Party mix from DJ Prime Cuts, a versus battle between DJ Shadow agains Cut Chemist, and jams from Rob Swift, RJD2, Grandmaster Flash, Grand Wizard Theodore, and DJ Premier. Plus there's new music from Joell Ortiz, Apollo Brown, Opek, Asta Hiroki, Makaya McCraven, Goya Gumbani & Subculture, Malik Alston, St Paul & The Broken Bones and Pigeon

Always enjoy Huey's show. Afrodeutsche afterwards was also playing some good stuff.

How on earth is Guy Garvey a 'special guest' on Craig Charles' show? They work at the same place ffs.

New Elbow album has just been released innit. Not got my hands on it yet though. I've actually not properly listened to 6 since Shaun was ditched.

exactly what I thought. Fortunately, I had a work call, so missed it.
Trunk of Punk was good today though. Proper DIY Ska-punk.
I keep meaning to send him my own list.
Ironically, despite being an American, he's actually the one who talks the least between (or over) songs. He and Ravenscroft are by far the best on there.

CC isn't doing it for me, the fake laughing, the over dramatic style, the whatsapp voice notes, (I mean, wtf?). And the same theme music as his other show which he always introduces with a flourish at 1.30. And of course, the constant tweets about how amazing his show is.
Trunk of punk is good obvs. I liked him standing in for SL during lockdown but we needed a bit of mindless positivity then. It's not all terrible but I'm not feeling it.
Jamz is grand, good Saturday afternoon tunes. I'm also liking Afrodeutsche on friday nights, as long as she steers clear of the disco, BM has that angle covered.
eta: MAH is still playing best daytime music by a stretch.

Switching on Lammo at 4 is more than I do.

I've tried it but concluded that weekday daytime radio is just not for me.
Also, after initially liking Jamz because she wasn't Liz Kershaw I've found myself switching off after Huey finishes and putting it back on when Gilles starts. I find her delivery increasingly irritating and I don't think she's much good at interviewing her guests. Mrs B hates her music selection.

Lauren just apologised coz Thom Yorke said 'shit' on the radio. For anyone who didn't think she could get more mumsey.

TBF she's probably obliged to or she'll get some BBC nark on her case.
Yes. It's very Radio One.

I noticed Radcliffe mentioned he wasn't allowed to give out his personal twitter account last night. He used to do it a lot.
They're all under the spotlight I reckon, tories getting their nails in.
They have to. I watched that cricketer in his select committee racism hearing the other day and they kept breaking in to apologise for his use of the word 'Paki'. Silly.
