Yeah Lame-O is back albeit in reduced form. I liken it to braverman getting sacked by Truss then coming back to the same role under sunak. It’s exactly the same, exactly the same . He’s the wealdstone raider of indie rock

I was subscribed via the BBC sounds app to the 6music indie forever playlist, it used to be a nice hour of music once a week, lightly curated. I think due to these changes its now an on air show so I get to listen to someone called Nathan go on about stuff and then hear when they’ve failed to edit out the news! I’ve given up on listening and unsubscribed. 

I’m the same i can’t stand cerys’ show as she’ll randomly bust out some 1920’s rag time , and I’m out. Although I love Giles Peterson’s which similarly has some haterz

I actually enjoy cerys’s show, and I’ve been a fan of Giles since 2003.

(I’ve still got a recording of his ‘swell session’ Swedish bloke, featuring the epifani barbers and a rag-time version of 50cents ‘in the club’). Joyous

Alyx Holcombe seems to be where it’s at, metal wise.

As great as her show is, it needs a slot 11-2pm on a Sunday in 6music to showcase metal.

It wouldn’t hurt to feature more from the ‘big four’ (Metallica, megadeth, testament, anthrax), as well as sepultura and the more instrumental leaning bands.

I’m not always a massive fan of what Cerys plays on her show, but I’m very glad that it exists.

I can’t listen to Giles Peterson without immediately thinking of Brian Pern

Absolute quality!

@rocketdog

Or whatever the modern equivalent is.

(Without having to stay up into the wee small hours or faff about on bbc sounds).

My main gripe with 6music is that they barely get out of first gear.

Radcliffe in for Laverne this morning.
A mixed response I’m sure but will always be a win here.

I like Lauren Laverne, but there’s not enough Radcliffe on 6.

Can’t think of anyone better to present, in his words, the “contractually obliged cloudbusting slogan” 😄

From bobbins to biggedy biggedy bong – it’s a Mark & Lard reunion!

Stop… carry on!

When?

I heard it mentioned on the breakfast show this morning but it was a bit lacking in detail (none).

Think I almost cried at the last show, they were so ingrained in my life at that time – can’t believe that was 20 years ago.

‘its a mystery’ from the old mark and lard show was my favourite

‘whhhhhhhhoooooooooooooooo?’

‘mushn’t grumble ‘

I still can’t get my head round them playing the full version of ‘whole lotta love’ and ‘marquee moon’ on Radio 1 breakfast show

Since when was it acceptable to pay happy hardcore on 6music? I like to think I have a pretty broad taste in music, but, just make it stop.

Is this what being middle aged feels like?

It’s a broad church. What was it that so offended?

Yes

Pook
I just want to know who Richard Hawley has compromising photos of in 6Music management

Do I take it that you don’t like Richard Hawley?

It’s a broad church. What was it that so offended?

Yes

And rightfully so. I think it was this:

Thanks for confirming.

I am very glad that I have found alternatives.

I listen to Radio France now, the Radio FIP rock channel.

6 Music is garbage at the moment apart from Riley & Coe.

Going back to my thread about the 6 music festival, where I was told I don’t understand what a festival is about (I still stand by my comments that it was a small handful of gigs – I heard nothing that made it a festival as such i.e. yes it can be individual venues, but there still has to be a whole vibe and spin off activities going on around it – I didn’t get that from the coverage) Anyway, one of the artists playing was Hak Baker.

It’s almost as if 6 have a vested interest in particular artists and will not shut up about them. I don’t know what that vested interest could be with it being the BBC, but they must mention Hak Baker 20+ times a day. Hawkins this morning said his name at least half a dozen times when announcing his new record

At least we’ve got Glasto coming up – you know, that festival that the BBC invented….

Before anyone says it – yes, I know I can turn it off and I often do
