[anonymous-user]

I've been subjected the last 3 days at work to Radio X and 6 Music, ffs the same old indie ste hour by hour, I was hoping all that indie st had been and gone.

Lets be honest none of them crappy indie bands will ever crack America, the only place they seem popular is Northern England.

Whilst we're here, might we ask what music you're into?

Aja - Steely Dan, Pirates - Rickie Lee Jones, Donald Fagan - The Nightfly, Court And Spark - Joni Mitchell, American Stars N Bars - Neil Young etc, etc,

Nothing up with not liking both of them.

It's your posts that make you look like a dick.

Don't think so, I will always be more of an authority on music than Vernon Kay or Chris Moyles, simple.

Yes the music posted above shows quite an eclectic mix.
Authoritative.

Glad you agree, no one has ever put a Happy Mondays album on a Linn turntable.

I was being sarcastic.

And you are wrong about the Happy Mondays.

Wasn't there some statement when Moyles joined where he said words to the effect of "they've told me I can play anything, ANYTHING, I want"? Doesn't come across like that!

Yesterday morning Moyles was redeeming himself slightly when he mentioned the late great Chic drummer Tony Thompson, me thinking he will play one of them great Chic tracks recorded at the Power Station but no he decided to play that mid 80s awful cover of Get It On by The Power Station, not one of TT's or Robert Palmer's finest moments.

6 music has a big range of stuff - almost too muso at times!

It's like Andy Kershaw is in charge of the playlist on BBC 6 Music, they seem to be trying to be too obscure for their own good.

I was doing a bit of work with the chap who has BBC 6 music on and heard a Michael Mcdonald track on there so perhaps all is not lost, think the dj was Stuart Maconie.

Changes afoot at 6 & none of them are particularly good I reckon.

Keaveney leaving the breakfast show which will be taken over by Lauren Laverne. Mary Ann Hobbs doing early mornings instead of Lauren & the biggest & sttiest shakeup is that RadMac are leaving afternoons for a weekend slot. Keaveney & Matt Everitt taking over this show.

Not impressed, Keaveney in the commute works for me & RadMac are the best thing on 6. Mary Ann is beyond pretentious & gets on my nerves.

Putting RadMac on at 7am at the weekend is akin to telling them to fk off.

I think they are great at what they do and I hope they get an offer on commercial radio somewhere as I would definitely tune in if they did.

MA Hobbs is ok for a late night slot I suppose (not my cup of tea) but she'll have about 500 listeners after a couple of months trying to do a daytime show.
