BBC6 Radio - comment, discussion and moans

[Cerv]

yeah it's day time radio. pre-watershed. they have to apologise on any channel, not just BBC.

I remember Iggy Pop dropping an F-bomb in his Maida Vale session a couple of years ago. And thinking what did they expect? Surprised the producer hadn't insisted on a delay.

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

Yeah, it was a bit cringey but as others have pointed out, pre-watershed and all that.

Though of course all this pales to insignificance compared to when Rage Against The Machine were hastily faded out by Nicky Campbell after dropping multiple "fuck you's" during 'Killing In The Name Of' on 5Live

That's what's good here, no angst over expletives in music.

If it was a fuck, motherfucker or cunt, it would have been understandable. Is shit even a swear word?

It ranks as 'medium' according to OFCOM

Apparently LL is a One Show host now, so probably cultivating even more of a family image.

 

[Mogden]

Shaun played a Wildhearts some time in the last year without an edit to remove the large cunt shout in the middle of it. No one apologised cos none but Wildhearts fans seemed to notice

A character in the 80's animated Transformers The Movie said shit, and that's for kids. You'd think we'd be used to shit by now.

Everything's gone to shit, so we should be.

It's radio. No watershed as such. I remember Saturday afternoon comedy shows on the wireless in the nineties full of filth.

If anything I thought radio was more sensitive to these things, even after 9pm whereas on telly swearing is practically de rigueur, you routinely get pre-show language warnings on radio 1 specialist shows saying to switch off if you're easily offended and thats like at 11pm.

I've heard 'fuck' on daytime radio 3 - IIRC some music and poetry programme, possibly the poem was This Be The Verse - with no apology or warning.

 

[krtek a houby]

"fuck" would work well as a name for a show on the radio. Or maybe, "oh, fuck" for some kind of topical panels show...

They're supposed to put a warning upfront. LL won't have done that.

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

Guy Garveys opinion of himself as a treasured song writer needs it’s own XL converted barn for storage

Fucking bellend

You speak the truth my friend A particularly choice bit of name-dropping cuntery from a few weeks ago: introducing a Blur song, he says "and now, here's [whatever song it was] by Blur...I've never asked Damon what the lyrics mean..."

 

[krtek a houby]

Try to separate the artist/band from the personas but GG really grates with the name dropping, as I was saying to my old mucker, Jarvis, the other day

 

[BassJunkie]

Radio 4 appear to have completely forgotten about the watershed. Plenty of piss and shits during their day time dramas. I notice because it's when I have the children in the car.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

With this cloudbusting every morning and more and more random cheesy choices, I'm starting to think LL's show could be on R2.

Within a few years, probably!

When I find unbearable I’ve been switching over to detuned LW stations and finding it rather soothing. Static ftw.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Just listening for their top 10 album countdown this morning. Normally avoid LL these days.

I don't really see the problem with that considering they must have crossed paths many times so are presumably on first name terms? How is he supposed to refer to him - Mr Albarn?

 

[Petcha]

He's one of the least shit DJs on there anyway, but the bar is fairly low these days. I'd quite like a bit more of Cillian Murphy.

Who wouldn't?

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

Today I listened to Radio 6 for the first time in ages, while painting the walls downstairs. Loved every track Huey played and it was the first time I’d heard Afrodeutsche’s show. I was just thinking what an excellent warm-up these were for Gilles Peterson… except there was no Gilles, just Tom

What's wrong with Tom?

Why bring it up at all, is my point. He doesn't habitually wonder about the lyrics of songs he's about to play.

 

[Skim]

He plays decent music: I just don’t enjoy listening to his voice.
