Rolling Interminable 6Music Daytime Canon

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.

The Liz Kershaw saga continues

When I sue this rag I will also include anyone who has abused me on here by swallowing their libellous misinterpretation of my comments this morning. Be warned https://t.co/J4QJKXs7v5

babe

Watch the video, it's a work of art, the look in the hosts' eyes as they try to make some sort of sense of what she just said, her doubling down on digging this ridiculous logic hole.

I don't really look to 6music presenters for nuanced political commentary but she really does come across as remarkably dim.

saw one tweet that used the word 'loon' re this situation.
been years since i had heard that word.

currently talking about new releases on Steve "Lammo" Lamacq's show: Rick Witter, Andy Bell and some bloke from Cud

they all like the new Wonder Stuff record, Rick Witter says that Miles Hunt "knows his way around a melody"

Richard James "Rick" Witter (born 23 November 1972 in Stockport, Cheshire) is a singer, songwriter and frontman of the York-based Britpop band Shed Seven. He was educated at Huntington School, York. He used to buy his shopping at Tesco, Clifton Moor.

On this occasion Miles Hunt knew the route around the melody a little too well.

they were less keen on the FKA Twigs record, with the exception of Andy Bell

I think it was Neil Kulkarni in Melody Maker who viciously and hilariously made up that he'd met Witter and that he had really bad body odour. That's always stayed with me, longer than his dreadful songs actually.

hilariously

Yeah I can't stand Steve Lamacq's record review show, someone else was covering a while back and it was briefly just about listenable.

Just want to say that I have been very pleasantly surprised by Lauren Laverne's breakfast show, partially because she is always keen to keep the indie rock as little as possible, but mainly because I now have an alternate to the Today Programme in the morning and it seems life is much better when I'm not waking up to that every day.

Thanks for correcting my typo

Shed Seven fan then?

i might be missing context and i wasn't so much having a go at you as at this hilarious Neil Kulkarni bit but it sounds weirdly like playground bullying rather than incisive satire

I guess. shrug. I thought it was funny when I was 15. It stuck with me is all.

More silver linings

Afternoon all. So I’m not going to be on drivetime for a while. I’m fine (for people who’ve asked), but spoke to a local doctor last week who advised me, for various reasons, to stay at home for now.

Now do whatsisface

Why can’t I remember the cunts name it’s only been 2 weeks

thanks for reminding me things could be worse

Keaveny? xp

YES

When I worked in a north London Sainburies 20 years ago I once saw Steve Lamacq and we exchanged glances for a second and I felt like saying you find any shite bands here mate, it's the provisions area.

*won't*

Liz Kershaw seems to have disappeared from the schedule too. Mary Anne Hobbs played Lighting Bolt while I was having my lunch. Maybe this coronavirus thing isn't so bad after all.

I only ever pass R6 if I'm channel hopping and there is nothing on 3, 4 or WS and its always shit.

thanks to the mercy of digital radio i don't even have to hear the fucker

whatever gets people thru tho, peace

Its fine until lunchtime and then it is slow death

There is loads of good stuff on 6 music now, especially in the mornings.

Yes the terrible Kershaw seems to have gone, which means an extra hour for Gilles Peterson on a Saturday afternoon.

I only listen during the work day - as I say, decent in the morning but as soon as keaveny comes on it’s a bust

Worst thing I ever heard on it was that Maconie and some hippy pleb sidekick talking about "freaky music" show where they were trying to ruin stuff like Sun Ra.

You can’t ruin music by playing it luckily
