    has the gidcoe thing been confirmed or is he just talking about protecting his fine lambswool garments in the wardrobe?

    I do wish they’d get shot of Claire Ronacres on the news. She’s awful

    How can you be offended by a news caster? They’re on for about 3 minutes, read a script and gone.

    I’m Claiiiiiiiiiire Ronacres.

    I reckon she’s toned that down in the last few months, I found it quite amusing.

    I’ll tell you who definitely hasn’t toned it down… The Hobnob. I find her breathy, over-descriptive nonsense like nails down a blackboard, so have to turn it off when she appears.

    I thought I’d try it again and see if she reigned it in a bit with her ‘taking you on a magical audio adventure’ cobblers, but she’s actually getting worse. I lasted about ten minutes before it went off again

    Likewise. Turn it off immediately.

    Some music “breath” to relax too, “breath”.

    I DON’T WANT TO RELAX!!!!

    Oh no, much better to continue your morning in a state of heightened anxiety. 😀

    I’ve not gone back still, NTS, Rinse FM, Worldwide, Soho Radio plus mixes in SoundCloud do me.

    I’m 44 so should probably not be anywhere near Rinse FM but Uncle Dugs Run Come Follow Fridays are now essential to get me through the fag end of the week, they guy has an encyclopedic knowledge of the genre from about 1989, I’m not even a huge D&B fan but live a ’92-’93 special!

    Reading back through this thread from the start confirms how far it’s gone for me; I clearly cared about the changes, and felt they were hugely detrimental to the quality output that we’d been used to. It’s just gone, for the most part. There are, of course, still outposts of quality – or familiarity – but overall, it’s just a facsimile of the station that went on first thing and was often on until after Gid.
    Ah well, I’m sure someone’s enjoying it. I hope, they are. It’s not important, but it is important; like Arrigo Sacchi almost said, ‘music is one of the most important of the least important things in life’.

    I liken listening to Radio6 to panning for gold, you need to swirl through a lot of crap to discover the occaisonal nugget.

    But it is the hope of a find that keeps me hanging in there.

    Except for MAH, I switch to 4extra at that point – everyone has their limit!

    It’s futile to care about listening to good music?

    Is confused.

    Someone saying they were working fixing bikes just rang In to MAH saying, ‘Kate Bush just reduced me to floods of uncontrollable, happy tears ‘… MAH gushed.

    Anyone on here? Can you please provide your name and address so that we can arrange to have you eliminated?

    Ok, thanks.

    I’m only just getting over the reams of people who texted in yesterday after John Grants session in ‘floods of tears’ etc.

    I’ve almost completely given up on 6 music now – utter tosh at times.

    And it was a while ago but thanks to whoever suggested Radio France Fip Rock – non-stop music, no ads and no inane DJ twaddle. Bliss!

    Very much beats utter tosh ALL the time. My last job had Absolute Radio on and believe me, being bombarded with Kings of Leon, Coldplay, Keane and awful repetitive advertising all day is incredibly wearing.

    No station will be perfect for anyone all of the time. How boring would that be! Might as well just stream all day.

    I love that Six exists. Long may it continue. It’s easy to turn off the dj’s you’re not keen on, or just come on here and rant about them instead 🙂

    Six music isn’t too bad really. Lauren is good (and wishing her a speedy recovery) and i don’t mind Nick at all. For me, by far the best and is Mark and Stuart at the weekend….. Huey plays some great stuff too.

    I rarely listen past 10am as it when it goes all street or current it is absolutely dire!

    I do enjoy the radio selection on Spotify too which is what i have on inbetween 6 Music and 5 Live.

    Gilles on Saturday afternoon is the highlight for me, he played an amazing Taiwanese Krautrock/psych track the other week that would have been worthy of Coldcut Solid Steel’s heyday.

    Huey does play some good stuff, but like Iggy he lays it on a bit thick with his chat.

    Heard a couple of good female DJs later in the evenings too, sorry can’t remember their names.

    Gilles is great.  I’m really liking Jamz show beforehand as well – lots of music from all over the place that isn’t played anywhere else on mainstream radio.

    Much like radio 1 of yore, it’s the non-daytime shows that aren’t playlisted which are going to be most interesting.

    Sunday afternoons work for me – if I’m not riding the easy mood of Guy Garvey seems perfect for fettling.  It’s pretty retro – lots of stuff from the 80’s quite often, which sort of feels like a guilty pleasure at times. I could listen to Iggy rattle on all day as well.  Listen to those on catch up if not live most weeks.  Some of the stand ins on those shows are good to-  Ezra Furmans’ shows were a good listen. The guy who was taking over recently needs to ‘know what I mean’ a lot less.

    Grimmy i’ve warmed to in the mornings.  I think he’s relaxed a bit.  Seems to know his music.

    I’ve said before how Giles Peterson has reaching for the off switch every time.

    Broad church the 6 music listeners.

    Yeah, I have to say I never thought I could ever like Grimmy, but actually, he’s way less annoying than I thought he’d be 🙂
