no, i can't stand radio 6.
in theory, it's perfect.
i'm not picky, my music taste covers more or less everything from Nina simone to Nine inch Nails, From Busted to Bach, y'know, that kind of music…
but the playlist seems to be formed with the prime directive: play anything so long as it's wierd, and unknown.
Then you've never bothered to listen to more than a couple of minutes of it, otherwise you're know that 6Music plays loads of stuff that you would recognise, stuff by people you know but have never heard on the radio, and stuff that is totally new, but you'll be hearing on mainstream radio or TV in five years time, like Arcade Fire, for example. I first heard them four or five years ago on 6, now they're being used on the trailerfor 'Where The Wild Things Are'. The Concretes I first heard around the same time, now the lead singer's new band Taken By Trees is being used for John Lewis adverts. If you were actually interested in discovering new music, you'd delight in the fact that there is loads of new talent being played on 6, but you obviously aren't, you'd rather stick to your comfort zone, what's safe. I, on the other hand, am constantly finding new music that delights and thrills me, and Cerys and Lauren Lavern are two of the best presenters on radio today, because they are musicians, who love finding new interesting music. I have to keep a note pad handy to make notes of all the new music I'm hearing. Something that talentless f*c*wit (copyright Time Out), Moyles wouldn't recognise if it sodomised him with a splintery stick. A friends fourteen year-old son described him as 'childish' to me once.
He's about as entertaining as a migraine, and I get migraines, so I know exactly how lacking in enjoyment his crappy show is.
