Rolling Interminable 6Music Daytime Canon

Richard Hawley is one of those people who must have a stash of incriminating material on the DG, there's no other explanation as to why he still gets airtime (see also: Guy Garvey)

I was going to agree with Stevie T, then realized I actually haven't heard most of the things on that list.

But in principle I still agree with Stevie T.

DESERT ISLAND DISCO

Today's DESERT ISLAND DISCO is Mod / Northern Soul focused. I welcome this.

It is odd how people still think 6music is all mediocre rock.

It definitely does play mediocre rock.

But right now, before noon on a Friday, it is playing a long instrumental in some kind of experimental techno genre. The last two tracks were also instrumentals in some kind of related fields.

In fact LL hasn't played any 'rock' for at least half an hour or so.

Now it's a First Aid Kit session. Country?

Lauren Laverne has better and more diverse/interesting taste than most of them do. It's when you get to Radcliffe and Lamacq in the afternoons that it gets really bad.

I agree that they are different.

LL: 5 x 3 hours per week, + her 6music recommends slot = LL takes up a big chunk of the 6music schedule every week!

All daft blather at breakfast time this morning more than made up for by appearance of Make Me Believe In You by Patti Jo. And Pigs etc.

LL starts with Pavement 'Cut Your Hair' followed by an average playlist-heavy-rotation rock track.

Then 20 minutes of mostly dance-music-oriented records.

Then an archive session track from ... Death Cab For Cutie. A band I have never known.

It's quite good!

She is now playing a series of 'UK Garage Monday Motivators'.

> 3. Sultans of Ping FC – Where’s Me Jumper

this was the first track on friday.

BRYAN FERRY is talking to Lauren Laverne now about the origins of Roxy Music.

And about the role of RICHARD WILLIAMS.

She has been playing electronic music, acid house and funk.

Radcliffe & Maconie started with JESUS JONES 'international bright young thing' followed by Gaz Coombes.

did you enjoy the new Parliament single you said she played?

No - but to be honest I wasn't paying much attention to it. It probably wasn't my kind of thing.

but it has Scarface on it! wasn't he in Belle & Sebastian?

I haven't heard of that person.

JESUS JONES 'international bright young thing' followed by Gaz Coombes

how very apt

Maconie now playing 2nd of 2 tracks to open his programme.

Noel Gallagher, 'it's a beautiful world'.

I think this is on the playlist and gets played several times a day.

Lauren Laverne played Stereolab's 'miss modular', a record that I imagine people on ILM like.

At last it's not "She Bangs Pour Moi by The Vaselines"

xpost, obv.

I have not heard that!

aka "She fell, right under my spell" by NG

I think that might be called 'Holy Mountain'.

mmm...

LLOYD COLE is on at 2:30.

Radcliffe and Maconie are doing a lot of presenting separately.

It's as though they have fallen out.

is that why you p and k never speak to me anymore?

i quite like mark radcliffe tbh. dunno what his politics are or anything like that but he seems an okay sort from his radio programmes

i used to listen to him back when he was on radio 5

Radcliffe has a pretty good folk show on R2. On the debit side, he is in a pirate-themed novelty band called Galleon Blast.

He was on 5live ??

Surely Radio 1, Radio 2.

The Folk Show is quite good I think but I still think of it as MIKE HARDING.

the radio 5 show was called 'Hit The North'

Yeah, Radio 5 used to be a music and news station

No it didn’t

It had some music programming before 1994 but it was absolutely mainly news, current affairs, sport etc.

Obligatory "he was in Skrewdriver" post

It was an odd station, I used to listen to the childrens stuff on there and found myself listening to some hugely varied and often wonderful stuff. Have a look at the programmes listed here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Radio_5_(former)

you'll have to copy and paste that, ilx really doesn't like those closing brackets on urls

Extremely rare er occurrence of er Autechre on Lamacq last er night.

Obligatory "he was in Skrewdriver" post

holy heck, i did not know that!!

tbf it was in the Chiswick Records era, I was being flip, I don't think he was actually a nazi

what track, ledge?

Radcliffe's 'banter' is really, really sub-par at this stage, his music stage is beyond conservative and boring and he is really, really bad at feigning interest in what phone-in guests have to say. He should probably have been put out to pasture ages ago. Lamacq has been exactly the same for 20 years but at least he sounds like he still actually enjoys music.

Err music taste, not stage.
