BBC 6 Music

Yes, MAH's music taste just about compensates......

What's this fawning over Courtney Love all about? A whole day dedicated to that dreadful woman?

Well it’s the Kurt Cobain anniversary so naturally they’re celebrating all the music he wrote. Including all of Hole’s music which Courtney didn’t write

At least it wasn't that Camden crackhead

I saw Hole a couple of times back in the 90’s. They were shit. There were some great songs which as you say she didn’t write (Violet is fucking great) but the way she’s feted as an icon is fucking nonsense.

There’s this recording at a gig from around that time taken from the desk of her vocals and her guitar playing, isolated from rest of the band. It’s hilariously bad. Sound techs used to turn her guitar down at gigs to spare the audience.

I'm not a huge Hole fan, but she was pretty iconic for a lot of the women I knew growing up, a very visible women taking no shit in a a whole sea of men.

Some hot takes here. Some hot, sexist takes.

Who would have thought that a well known grunge artist wasn't the best at singing or playing musical instruments?

Next people will be claiming that many punk bands lacked musical skill and were vibes based.

Unexpected Gideon Coe on a Sunday morning is a real delight. Bet he's not going to eat crisps.

Gone with the Everest disaster on r4 in the reunion instead.

Is he more of a Twiglet guy?
Hoola hoops?

He's a man of jazz at heart, so, olives?

What's with this Tom Ravenscroft and Deb Grant show? They have zero chemistry, it's like two shows overlapped

from daytime, it's getting hard to tell when I've switched from greatest hits to 6, which is a great drop of the pretence

they've had some proper carcrash presenters - my last memory was of a Friday night at about 7 a couple of months ago, it's fair enough that they'll need to bed in - but I wouldn't consider the station a total test ground (unless they actually wanted that for the music!)

(R&)M show is celebrating combinations of Bikes & Cheese today.

Hopefully people who aren't on Instagram can still watch this https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7Qwx0Lof7c/?igsh=cnBvb24xdmZ2c3Zr

My thoughts exactly when I turned on the radio this morning... 😞
Time to stream some previous shows on Sounds for the next few day I think!

Glasto

I’ve made the switch to KEXP for the foreseeable..

Is it the Tour of France special with Gid Coe tonight or have I got my dates wrong? And it yet more glastohno?

I assumed about a week away, only caught the trailing once

Pretty sure that has happened. Last Thursday I think
