Rolling Interminable 6Music Daytime Canon

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.

xxp er montreal er off amber

tbf i haven't actually listened to radcliffe since the 90s, it would probably drive me nuts if i had to listen to him now

xps Can't agree with you there Matt, I don't give a shit about what either of them play really and I usually wrench the dial around when Radcliffe's awful jingles start, but he does sound like he really cares about the music, especially the session acts. Lamacq's er banter and er listener/social media interaction are borderline Partridge.

I am enjoying Ledge's LAMMO impression.

I think I agree that Radcliffe is no longer very good.

I wouldn't say he was 'beyond conservative'. I would probably say he was quite settled in his tastes, having already built up a wide and extensive knowledge of popular and roots music.

I think it's true that Lammo still loves Mega City Four and Kingmaker. The passion still burns.

Rave with Rob Brydon !!

I don't think I really ever heard of Brydon till quite a bit later.

It is a good point about how much children's radio used to be on Radio 5, and how this was all sadly shelved.

A case for Inspector Carmody.

Radcliffe has a verbal tic that once you've noticed is very hard to ignore. Sort or "er-ber-ber" or "air-bear-bear", between words.

Lamacq played my mate's band yesterday. I'm dead chuffed for him but at the same time can't stand Lamacq and wish one of the other DJs had played him.

Anyway mandatory plug!

6music still seems to play Noel Gallagher's single on every daytime programme.

I feel that we have surely got the point and heard this enough by now.

right now: Radcliffe & Maconie starting their programme with Shed Seven.

The crucial coveted keynote-sounding opening track slot.

'Going for Gold'.

Oh for gods sake!

ah, that's the reason I don't listen on the daytime.

6music should shed shed 7's music

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.

ooh!

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.
