Rolling Interminable 6Music Daytime Canon

6music should shed shed 7's music six

Now it's a palindrome.

the trick is to use iplayer and listen 15 minutes behind so you can skip over the crap (assuming they play 15 minutes of crap per show, like anything by the manics)

i have a nice bookmarklet that lets me skip 60 seconds (and back 15 seconds) easily.

Why on earth would anyone choose to iPlayer this particular show?

iPlayer etc etc

I think I tend to agree that it is more of a live experience.

But koogs' account of his listening practice is quite cogent.

i am listening 'not quite' live, via iplayer because it's easier than a radio in the office. am currently 52 minutes behind live. thurston moore has just expressed an interest in joining the ramblers.

What, as in "She's only a poor little sparrow" ?

Yes, I heard that also. Maconie was surprised to be asked about it.

I have now not heard Noel Gallagher's single on 6music for at least two days.

I try to recall it, but all I can generate is "We live in a beautiful world" by Coldplay..

It feels like it is designed to be played over a montage at the end of the next World Cup.

That Jade Fox track being played by Giles Peterson is delish.

Gilles*

Lot of shit-talking in this thread, not all of which I agree with, but any station that gives Laurie Anderson a platform during prime time is alright with me.

I wish they could just drop the playlist and Album Of The Day stuff though. Seems to try and foster a uniformity across the station which is not needed.

They've just gone from that interminable MSP single to a 10 minute Kamazi Washington track, which is kind of 6Music all over. A slightly schizoid need to occasionally go a bit "out there" while also being too cautious of alienating fans of mainstream indie shite.

that Bishop Nehru track they keep playing, Rooftops, is just someone talking, badly, over a record.

Big news.

I hate that Shaun bloke who does the breakfast show at the moment.
good riddance.

however, it does mean I can't pop 6music on in the afternoon as I have done from time to time.

Yes, he is appalling, unbearable. So I don't welcome his move to afternoon. 10:30-4 weekdays will be off limits for me after this.

I only listen at the weekends and will miss Mary Anne Hobbs' music, if not her presenting style.

Exactly the same people in a slightly different order is indeed huge news.

this is a calamity.

maybe MAH will go all Breezeblock in her new position. maybe i'll start iplayering more weekend stuff that i never hear.

I think within the context of actually listening to the radio, if one happens to listen to this station, it is a big change, because to me radio isn't like film or the way many people now watch TV - on demand, in their own time, etc -- it is one thing that still, for many of us, happens live and in the order that's provided, because it's a convenience, a background.

So the fact that LL is no longer on 10-1, the fact that the afternoon is off limits, etc, will have a real effect on my days, one way or another.

We had the all day rave thing on in the office and and I just kept wondering how long it would be before someone finally cracked and played the Stone Roses. Obviously it was Lamacq but they made it all the way to 5.30.

Extremely obvious that only Lauren Laverne has engaged with any dance music made after 1998.

the bore of the roses

so there was no mary anne hobbs show re the rave thing ?
would have thought she would have been top of the list to be honest.

She is only on at the weekend right now isn't she?

I caught the end of S*** K****** this morning and he had an interview with someone from the early days of Ibiza which led to some really good music.

top 30 rave-era tracks :

xpost : no idea, but still, she should have been involved given her involvement/enthusiasm with the genre.

Mary Anne Hobbs and Chris Coco have the absolute worst speaking mannerisms. I enjoy the music they both play, but their announcing style makes me irrationally angry.

agreed.
MAH vs the whispering bob harris thing is insanely off putting.

Gonna need some explanation as to what the housemartins are doing on a playlist about style icons.

Explanation is that you are listening to Now Playing @6music and it's always this bad

Housemartins = pioneers of normcore/dadcore

not sure one can be a pioneer of what is literally normal but ok.

I feel like the Housemartins didn't just look normal, though, they had a self-consciously normal *look*

Enjoying a lot of Alice Coltrane earlier.

nothing to make you appreciate radcliffe and maconie more than when chris hawkins sits in... still, good practice for next year.

get well soon, mark

radcliffe popped up on the show before christmas btw.

was looking to see when they started at the weekend, and found this:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/schedules/p00fzl65/2019/01/12

which currently says:

12 Jan 2019
07:00 OFF AIR
Programmes will resume at 13:00

Sigh, I see Keshaw is on at 1300. Suspect only reason Liz Kershaw hasn’t been punted is so when Brexiteers moan about Gary Lineker, the Beeb can say, yes but we have Liz Kershaw.

xp That is very strange indeed.

Maybe should give them a call and see if they need anyone to cover the shift

Most likely this is yet another problem with the stupid Sounds app.

koogs, it's updated now - https://www.bbc.co.uk/schedules/p00fzl65/2019/01/12

"Brave New Dawn", funny.

am currently catching up on stuff i didn't get a chance to listen to over christmas and podcasts, so am not missing it at all. next week might be different.
