Best news I've read all week (probably). The one current 6 Music show above all others that I absolutely cannot bear listening to.

"Today is Steve (Lamacq)'s final daily weekday programme after 20 years on 6 Music."

Only just discovered that 6 Music has been scrobbling to last.fm since 2004. Kind of great to see what their all-time most played tracks are etc.

Spinning Rock Boogie seems like a bit of an outlier. Is that used on a feature or something?

Apparently Steve Lamacq's play-out tune

i'm seeing css, pixies, elastica, portishead in the top 10 of "all time", I was looking at artists, not artists of top tracks.I looked at the last four years in case they got more woke - yeah it's a bit better.
