BBC6 Radio - comment, discussion and moans

Ha, I thought the same when Lauren Laverne opened with Elastica. Fucking hated Britpop then, fucking hate it now.

I liked some Britpop at the time, but even then could see Shed Seven, The Seahorses, etc were shite. Chris Hawkins played quite a lot of stuff that I liked back then (the Manics ) but sound pretty shit to these ears now.

You poor thing, I hope you have a cream for that.

Good old Mary Anne Hobbes:

Yeah, her tour manager got a huge bill for that.

Afro Deutsche is consistently smashing out quality mixes on Friday and Saturday.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Enjoying today's Desert Island Disco theme. Good, interesting mixes and less time for inane chat.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Bangin’ mix right now

That’s the Ros Atkins D&B special no? On my way out so missed it but I’d like to hear it.

Hadn’t even realised it was him, that’s brilliant

He used to DJ in Brixton apparently. Mad old world. lol.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Pretty much listened to 6 for the whole day, which isn't something that happens very often now.

Lauren laverne playing elbows new one

Someone take Guy Garvey into a field and put everyone out of their misery

Having no discernible song writing talent is a crime in itself, combined with his own gigantic shimmering self belief it is fuxking unbearable


The universe keeps singing this song
Your eyes are diabolical blue, ooh
I've been watching you walk on the water lately
My arms outstretched when you do
What am I?
What am I on the earth for
If not to put you to bed?
If not to remind you to eat sometimes, if...
If not to cradle your head?
What am I without you?
The universe keeps singing its song
I can't get it out of my head
It skips right along like a stone on water
And I think I know how it ends
The last eyes I wanna see
Are yours, are brown and diabolical blue
They never once criеd without laughing, baby
So I'll line up a zinger for you
That's what I'll do
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
What am I without you?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
What am I without you?
What am I without you?
What am I?

 

[MBV]

They have definitely gone MOR since their early stuff

 

[editor]

Turned it on for the first time in ages. Heard extra bland Cla'am style house music playing. Turned it off.

I'm not a fan of Garvey. I was listening the other Sunday, because he kept playing good tunes. He passed on 2 pieces of knowledge to me. One, he's in a band called Elbow. I know this now because he kept telling me.

The other, is that if you want to find out something you don't know, you can google it.

Without these insights I don't know how I have got this far in life. He's a twat.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

I like Craig Charles Trunk of Funk on a Saturday night. He plays some cool, soulful tunes and his enthusiasm for the songs comes across well. He's very knowledgeable too.

The laid back guy who is on Saturday lunchtime is good too. Apologies can't remember his name.

 

[tommers]

Hadn’t even realised it was him, that’s brilliant

Listening now. This is really good.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Listening now. This is really good.

It’s worth looking at his Twitter, he’s really enjoying it

I used to listen to it every Saturday as I'm usually doing nerd things in the shed but I can't do 6 days of CC so I play an album now instead once Gilles is finished.

 

[Cerv]

You’re backwards.
Given the choice, I’m sticking with his Saturday evening show and passing on the weekday afternoons. Would rather stick on last night’s Riley or Robinson on the iplayer.

Not the first time I've been accused of that, lol.

I'm happy enough leaving the radio on all day without fiddling around, that's why it is there. I take your point though.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

This Peel Acres programme is good.

 

[bellaozzydog]

Garvey with added birds was nice

Sofa bound post surf, post roast wrapped up listening to Iggy

Good Sunday afternoon

 

[PR1Berske]

I like Lamacq but good god.

"When you go to a new venue, are you like, ooh this dressing room has a coffee machine?"

"Er....Well actually we like to meet the sound engineer."

 

[BassJunkie]

I switched on tonight, because, my goodness, the Radio 4 "comedy" slot at 6.30pm seemed to consist of something that lacked, erm, laughs, of any kind.

Franz Ferdinand live. This prompted me to comment to Mrs Bassjunkie "This is peak Lamacq".

Yes, my entire world consists of R4 or 6 music.
