Exactly. It has its off days but you're never more than a song or 2 away from something decent. It's perfect for having on at work.

To be fair I only dipped in when it sounded like the sort of stuff Mary Anne Hobbs and that 'biorhythms bollocks would be playing.

Clams on the half shell, and roller skates.
I too spend my week working through the shows from the weekend, Radcliff and Maconie. Giles Peterson. Iggy Pop. Cerys Matthews. Some random stuff from the early hours. And the utterly peerless Freakzone on Sunday night. Although often the shows that precede that and follow it too are worth a listen.

That biorhythms bollocks - you mean bleep techno? I want to hear that.
What is it with old lazy men who can’t be bothered to choose their own music anymore complaining that people with different tastes to them are playing music they don’t like on a radio station that’s not for their demographic. Bit fucking rich innit? Just get your records out again or play a mixtape of your own favourite music.
Like listening to Radio 4 and complaining there’s no sport

No, you daft twat. The biorhythms bit is where the DJ talks a load of hippy bollocks about songs that make different moods. And it's embarrassingly shite.

Pretty sure that's a feature from back when LL did the mid-morning slot? I don't think it's a MAH thing, but could be wrong.

Yeah hasn’t been a thing for a very long time. Might pop up occasionally but I don’t remember registering it if it did.
It was crap tbf. Not as crap as Nemones breathing exercises.
Editor. I think BBC6 may not be the station for you. It certainly never seems to make you happy when you tune in.

If you chose your own music then you wouldn’t have to put up with it.
I dunno sounds cool. Like that old Radio One feature with Simon Baters rapping over the music from Romeo & Juliet and telling tragic stories of thwarted love, hardship and tragedy. Like a proto-Tupac, Batesy was. Have you heard that one called Sexual Swear Words? It’s a banger

There’s something I find about her accent/way of talking that’s intensely irritating.

LOOK AT ME EVERYONE!
Dance music star the Black Madonna changes name due to racial insensitivity
Marea Stamper, now the Blessed Madonna, said her original name reflected her devotion to dark-hued Catholic icons, but acknowledged the ‘pain and frustration’ it had caused
I don't much care for her, but she was right to do this wasn't she?LOOK AT ME EVERYONE!

It was a stupid, insensitive, pretentious name to start off with and it's still well naff.
Why is it 'look at me everyone' to respond to criticism and change it though?
I thought it was a pretty cool name tbh, though I also assumed she was black because of it... still, apparently she started using the name in the 1990s when there was a lot of that kind if insensitivity about.

she's a funny one. I quite enjoyed her sets when I first heard her a good few years ago but then she seemed to go into PR overdrive - got an agent, presumably - and was everywhere. can't help feeling it isn't about the music so much anymore when you're doing videos, sets, interviews all over the shop. getting on radio seems to be culmination of that. and she does seem a little full of herself unfortunately.

One small step for me
They're doing one of their festivals this weekend and this time its from Cardiff. OK fine but predictably it means Manic Street fucking Preachers every time you listen in. You're welcome.

Is it me or is Craig Charles really pissed right now?

I'll always give credit where due! I'm not a fan of Crass but it was good to hear Penny being interviewed on daytime radio and I heard Porridge Radio for the first time. And no shit, dance around your handbag, super-bland house too (yet!).QFP.
Oh dear. I guess that's the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club amongst others fucked then. At least the White Stripes stayed the right side of PC.
