BBC 6 Music

Our daily routine is switching Radio 6 on, listening for 30 mins until we hear some song for the billionth time (just a few mins ago it was that fucking Shangri-la shite, then that reggae one) then turning it off again. Why do they insist on playing things over and over again? ABC list is a crime against humanity

That Sports Team track they are rinsing at the moment makes me feel physically ill.

Right on cue.

Now I'm pretty much listening to 6 music all day every day the songs that are on their playlist are really obvious.

Annoyingly I quite liked most of them until they started hammering them every day.

World radio

Portland stuff is good like kexp

NTS. That is all.

Mary Anne Hobbs had a set from Derrick Carter yesterday (Friday) that was so so good.

Cheers for this, listening now. MJ to start !

R4 in the early morning, R3 during the day, 6music in the evening . . . . . best combination, I find.

R4 prog on flies this morning was interesting . How you date the age of flies is beyond me.

Normally go with 6music for the morning, suffer the overdose of playlist songs by about lunch so switch over to KEXP around 2 for the morning show with John Richards who I really like. Or chuck on some live sessions like the KEXP or NPR Tiny Desk ones or just festival sets on YouTube. This usually makes me want to finally get round to starting a band so I start looking at equipment. Already finally got round to getting an audio interface for my bass but I’m now looking at an electronic drum kit though I’ve never played more than a few minutes at old band practices but how hard can it be to learn?

Mrs Ball's Chutney flavour crisps this morning. Sounded tasty.

Love a bit of KEXP, this was a favourite live set https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShR4VfpvdBQ

I have found myself falling in to R4 first thing, then R6 until lunch and then finish the afternoon with the World Service

This. 6 music is great if you don't listen for more than 30-60mjns per day

The playlist stuff stops at 7pm weekdays & for most of the weekend (Cerys, Huey, Gilles, Guy, Don etc)

I can't risk r4 incase The Archers kicks in... has that phobia been named yet?

6 Music is great if you can avoid Marc Riley, Stuart Maconie, Mark Radcliffe - basically the bloke stuff where they talk shit endlessly and use jingles that wouldn't have been out of place in the early 1980s.

I really only tune in for every female fronted show, and then exceptions Giles Peterson, Iggy Pop and Chris Huey.

I'd say the station has gone downhill due to the reshuffle in January... but it's only because I listen off-peak and they've moved the great female DJs to peak time and put the awful bloke shows off-peak.

I’m obsessed with the Slowdive KEXP set. Teenage me is very disappointed in myself.

Also thankful that Radcliffe and Marconie are off to a time slot when I'm not awake, fun for the first week, but you start to get the groundhog day affect after only 10 days, maybe less if I listened more.
Worked a very early am job for a while and had that Yorkshire bloke regularly ringing up Prof Brian cox at 6am, that was learning and funny at the same time, made unpacking endless boxes of random items more manageable

Craig charles is doing the non drive show this week no scrawp and his top ten sh##

Plus future islands.

I have to say, I can't fucking stand Iggy Pops voice

That's OK. Kim Gordon stood in on Friday and it was excellent.

Yeah I enjoyed that show.

Kim I can get with

Iggy 4 eva. Be sad when he eventually quits / transcends. Like when Adam and Joe packed it in. Or Jarvis.

Gideon Coe is sitting in for Lauren on the breakfast show next week.

Hope he brings his record collection. In saying that Lauren Lavern plays an eclectic mix which appeals to me. Nice combo of old skool rap stuff, new electronic, old Motown.
