Minor 6 Music Shake-Up

[The Mollusk]

DJ Maddie Draclea must be bricking it right now

[Sebastian Cobb]

I see 6 music are still doing fawning Bowie grief. Like someone with a dead parent who can never quite make it through the acceptance stage.

Afrodeutsche seems to have calmed down a bit now and is pretty good sitting in for Jamz. Played a decent Roxanne Shante track earlier.

[greencalx]

I've caught Afrodeutsche a couple of times recently, and quite liked it.

We've been reduced to Crematorium Steve with dinner a few times recently, as Radio 3 inflicted Words and Music on us, the most deathly programme on British radio. Yes, even more so than Crem Steve.

[good times]

The "People's Playlist" shite on Lauren Laverne has basically ruined 6music in the morning, I don't know who all these nutters are texting/ringing in (although to be honest, you probably have to be a bit mad to ask a radio show to play a song in 2022 when you could have it up on youtube in under than a second) but the station for an hour or something is like a shit mash up of Kiss FM and Radio 2.

edit: just remembered I said largely the same a few weeks ago, need to get over it.

How long has Peel been dead? And they're only just over that.

How would your friends and acquaintances (assuming they also listen to 6 Music) know that you were bopping round your kitchen to New Order if you did that?

[shiftwork2]

Regarding 6 Music bopping around the kitchen, I always thought you had to be a teacher marinading a curry during the Funk And Soul Show and that you had to do it 'like a loon'?

Have I been going wrong?

Craig Charles and Tom Robinson's #nowplaying shows appear to be the favourites. But then they are both weekend teatime shows.

It was good today. Loads of 90s remixes including Andrew Weatherall's remix of Soon by MBV. Seven minutes!

That would have had me bopping round the kitchen grinning like a loon.

It is, as the kids say, "a certified bop".

[Sebastian Cobb]

Does anyone else find it amusing when Charles does his Spinage au Trois feature and almost instantly loses all interest in everything the caller has to say?

[Jockice]

A lovely few weeks where I thought it was Liz Kershaw who died and not Janice Long, ruined :(

I really did tell someone that Liz Kershaw had died before realising my error. Bloody northern female DJs with famous brothers, they're all the same.

[poodlefaker]

I always imagine those people bopping round the kitchens while making thai curry to the Craig Charles Sunken Foal Show have just come back from wild swimming in their VW camper vans. #bunting.

If I'd ever heard it happen I suppose I would.

I love that whenever he plays a playlist track and says anything about the artist, his disinterested tone betrays that he's blatantly reading it off their Wiki.

Over on Radio 2 (at almost exactly the same time) Liza Tarbuck at least takes the piss out of that sort of thing with the running joke that everyone's making spaghetti bolognese.

Agreed, I picked a good day to paint the bathroom like a loon.

Even lamacq was tolerable while I walked to get the kids from school like a loon

[poodlefaker]

Listening to #6Music while being sectioned under 136, grinning like a loon

[Norton Canes]

Steve Lamacq's album club album today is Gossip's Standing in the Way of Control. I never heard it before - must admit I thought it was a new studio album, not just ten remixes of Standing in the Way of Control. Nice of them to change some of the lyrics I suppose.

[Pauline Walnuts]

Garage Rock is known for its experimentation of course.



Hat fondling news time: The last The Gossip album was produced by one of those Xenomania guys, Wonder if it sounds like?

Standing in the Way of Control half heartily produced by someone out of Xenomania.

[Chicory]

Next week on Lamacq's classic albums: 'The Boy With The X-Ray Eyes' by Babylon Zoo.

[Norton Canes]

Heads up! It's Songs from the 00's day today!

*squeaking noise*

Does she really get in trouble for pissing about instead of reading the station ident properly?

[xxxx xxx x xxx]

Kevin Shields is the guest on The First Time With Matt Everett on Sunday at 1300. Should be interesting, I just hope Matt can hold back on the constant sycophantic laughter for once.

And today, seemingly. Could someone tell the people at 6 music that Aphex Twin did release more than just Avril 14th in the 2000's.

[The Mollusk]

Craig Charles plays some seriously piss weak rubbish doesn't he? Can probably count on one hand the amount of times I've heard a seriously deep groove on his shows as opposed to a load of mediocre disco wibble and absolutely wretched nu-swing bile. Christ he played a cover of "Lithium" by Nirvana yesterday that was beyond atrocious.

Every tune it's "YEEEESSSSS QUEEG" from the man. I swear once most people pass 40 the culture bit of their brains rot into mulch and any vague semblance of the halcyon days is lauded as a roaring success. Mate it's just a fucking saxophone and some lads going azooby-zooby-waaoowww. Play some afrobeat for fucks sake.

[jimboslice]

Craig Charles' time machine feature makes me switch off. Such an obvious, lazy, load of shite that's been done to death by a billion other DJs.

"Can yer guess what year it is?" "Googlin's cheatin!"

[sweeper]

Yeah. When o when will 6 music daytime drop Cock/Ver10 or Backdoor.Ranky.S?

Tsk

Marc Riley stuffs his shows with half-arsed stuff and he's been doing it for a long long time.

I dunno. I suppose they think they can get away with it because they're CHUMMY NORTHERNERS

[lazyhour]

Marc Riley's quirky segments and conceptual interviews are fucking dreadful. Just play good music and tell us about it! Just interview people properly!
