[Closed] 6 music breakfast show...

I'm not even that much of a Craig Charles fan . It makes you realise how a shit keavney is that he can make anyone sound brilliant.
Let's hope hospital radio snaps him up soon.

Its a double edged sword. Craig Charles has been brilliant!

But on a positive note; Mary Anne Hobbs can sod off with taking her sonic journey through music on the aural mobility scooter of destiny, or whatever. Her insipid, simpering voice drives me mad

Completely agree Binners MAH just makes me switch off.

Craig Charles!!!

What? When? Dammit! I don't mind Keaveney but I love the F&S show, and this morning has been ace, I may back and grab some listen again.

i like craig charles at breakfast. maybe more than the F&S show...

it's always a refreshing break when Keavney disappears for a few days and someone else steps in. I love 6music but Keavney is the bane of it. a great radio station ruined by an idiot every morning. Just why oh why is he there?

Binners is on the money with that, who listens to her talking about her "Aural magic carpet gliding through a forest of chords and harvesting the notes of inspiration that fall from clouds of sonic depth and tone" and thinks Oh sign me up I have to listen to that

Utter rubbish

I've never understood why Gary Crowley wasn't given the job.
6 was invented for him.

Life is so hard.

Happy Friday 😛

I think having hobbs in the line up is the BBC getting it's own back on all those who saved 6 music from the axe.

Haggis. 6 is about the music. There really isn't anything to compare.(just give xfm a go)
Keavny is all about trying to get a guest spot on QI.
My radio remains silent while he is on.
Is it really too much to ask to listen to a dj on a music station who cares about music.

+1. They should never have removed Phil Jupitus.

My big problem with 6 music is the DJs. There are plenty of stations where big personalities, chat and non-music features have space.
6 music should be music with very little chat or talking.

Keavney is the prime example of all that is wrong.

After a few beers I'd certainly rather go back to Huey's house than Keavney's to go through his record collection.
Keavney's is probably a few "Now that's what I call music"compilations left in the back of his car.

Why? There's loads of interesting chat on some of the shows. Jarvis Cocker talking to Stephen Witt about the rise of napster/kazaa the other week was fascinating.

Keavney's is probably a few "Now that's what I call music"compilations left in the back of his car.

I sincererly doubt that his "love" of music extends that far, unless it has lots of his own voice in the collection.

There really isn't anything to compare

I haven't looked,because the few annoying bits on 6 don't bother me enough ,I just switch to listen again stuff or whatever new music I have waiting.
Of course,I may change my mind if they gave Katie Puckrik a regular slot 😉

I think you've all forgotten that once upon a time George Lamb had a show. I'll never complain as long as he stays gone, I'll even quietly suffer the dulcet tone of MEH... so as Lamb never returns...

Keaveny and Hobbs need burning

There has been some epic music on this week but I find it very hard to like Craig Charles.
And I like mary but it's all a bit too "let me massage you whilst I squeeeeeze you down my musical passage"

Bloody right! At least all the other dj's are passionate about music, most being musicians themselves, instead of a bunch of self-obsessed idiots looking for the next chat show opportunity; (see: Chris Moyles, George Lamb. What are they doing now?)
As far as MAH is concerned, I much prefer having her on when LaLa's away instead of Nemone with her EDM obsession. Nem, keep it for your own show where I don't have to listen to your beats and breaks or whatever.
They have Heart FM or Radio One on in the next room at work...

Keavny is fine by me, he is entertaining in a way that very few DJ's manage, i.e. interesting chat between the records rather than the Shane or Christian default which is to promote themselves above the listener entertainment.
There, I have said it, but this is from a man the bemoans the demise of Phil Jupitus & a certain Sir Terry, just make Shaun do Janet & John stories & I'll be happy.

I've found the handover between Elizabeth Alker (standing in for Chris Hawkins) and Shaun Keaveny has been excruciatingly uncomfortable these last two mornings 🙄

You lot are mental, Keaveny is a genius, leave him alone.

I still don't know why 6 music isn't on FM (got to be more demand for it than radio 3)

And also - whats with all this "Needle time" beeswax on the BBC - it's the 21st century - shut up and play some more songs!

FM - by the way - should stand for "For Motorists" - anyone else think pushing car owners over to DAB is environmentally irresponsible?

surely Liz Kershaw and Jarvis Cocker have to be for the chop before Keavney.

And Steve Lamacq.

curto80 - you are Keaveney's mum and I claim my £5

WHAT?! You can't be serious about Lamacq.

I really like Craig Charles on the radio. He knows and loves his music which is as it should be.

Kershaw and Cocker make me turn off, she witters on about not having any curtains in her flat every time she's on the radio. Cocker is exactly that, a pretentious plonker who had a few hits with a BAND, he was not a solo artist.

I like Keavney, granted I hear about 45 mins each day, and MAH and almost all the others, don't get to listen to LL or the other two in the afternoon. No-one including CC has done a decent job of replacing Keaveny as such but CC comes close if only because of his choice of music. ~I do find it interesting that the same people always pop up on here when Keaveny is away. Immediately that he is gone.. Other favourites are Gid Coe, Tom Ravenscroft and Don Letts.

31 posts on 6music DJs and no-one has mentioned Katie Puckrik?

WHAT?! You can't be serious about Lamacq.

he can take his zany tune that he plays every day for about 12 minutes at the end of the show, and the nickname 'Lammo' and shove them wherever he so chooses.

Steve Lamacq wears novelty socks and drives an Austin Montego. 😡

(that 'round table section is sometimes ok tho)

But, but ...... but........ ok, fair point about novelty socks. Can't respect a man who wears them. 🙂

That tune at the end of the week is very annoying it has to be said.

Why, exactly? Does having a DAB radio in a car somehow increase its carbon emissions? I truly have no idea what you're talking about.

you have to make loads of DAB head units and dispose of lots of old ones

FM sucks in a car.

Still better coverage than DAB on average

you have to make loads of DAB head units and dispose of lots of old ones

Considering the vast quantity of resources required to build, maintain, operate and dispose of a car, it seems a little odd to be complaining about the need for a new radio.

I love 6music but the block of middle-aged men that dominate the daytime from lunch -> late night gets a bit repetitive. I think they should replace Marc Riley or Lamacq with someone younger and/or female.

you have to make loads of DAB head units and dispose of lots of old ones

But you will always be making head units for new cars, so what does it matter if they're DAB or FM. Really not following this argument.. ❓

I don't really like any of the 6music presenters. I'm not actually sure how old they are but they sound like Dads trying to still be "hip and with it" wth their mostly boring music. I always end up having to listen to it at work and whilst it's better than radio 1 it's started to do my head in now.

6, better than the others, still not all that great.

Mornings, people are irritable anyway, radio DJ's are generally annoying, it's a bad combination.

Gone are the glory days of the Mark and Lard show and Moyles in the afternoon (yes, I actually used to enjoy that show back then, largely because they were hung-over/still drunk).

Spotify and metal bands all way for me these days.

Her insipid, simpering voice drives me mad

Thankyou, I've been trying to work out why I couldn't stand Mary Anne Hobbs, you've hit the nail on the head!! I would also like to add More self loving than Jo Whiley.

Ohhh that's better, only an hour to the best R6 presenter Mark Radcliffe & the self satisfying muso gobbing other one.

 

I've listened to 6 music for years now and never got over just how awful the presenters are. I Particularly hate when we are actually 'taught' how to listen to 'good' music. Some of it's tongue and cheek but generally the presenters seem to totally self involved egotists.

For me there is one exception to this and that is Radcliffe and Maconie. Their genuine interest in the music, musicians and guests that they present shines through and is delivered with a level of humility and good humour that other presenters on the station will never be able to imitate. Perhaps it's just because they're not too preoccupied with having to make a name for themselves.
