throbber Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 21 minutes ago, The Moonster said: With apps like Spotify its really simple to just shuffle play everything you have saved in your library, and I'd rather spend an hour or two putting together stuff I liked than having the radio on for more than 5 minutes. I do love my music so I concede if folk aren't that bothered about what they listen to then radio is ideal, but on this very thread all you have is listeners complaining about how mundane it is. It’s all mundane but so Is most of our daily routines so I’m not sure what else you expect. I couldn’t be arsed listening to continuous music for that entire time but each to their own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oystercatcher Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 1 hour ago, Leith Green said: Depends. Lauren Laverne has always been good, but Mary Anne Hobbs plays some complete shite. They did a Prince tribute day which MAH completely fucked a few months back. Used to like Shaun Keaveney and was a bit pissed off when Charles was moved into his slot - but to be honest the music he plays and guests are a big improvement. I find Steve Lamaque unlistenable tho....... And dont get me started on their Wales obsession. Actually, I might have talked myself round to your POV !! When they moved Radcliffe and maconie to the weekend was the start. I really liked Shaun keaveny in the morning, I liked his lack of enthusiasm, even went to Edinburgh during the festival to be in the live audience. Lauren is probably the best out them all. Mary Ann Hobbes is torture, that jazz nonsense she's obsessed with is a turn off. Craig Charles funk and soul show on a Saturday night, great, him every afternoon not so, they've lost some of their irreverence, it's all too muso now. Steve lamaq is just there to play Elastica as I'm sure he gets a credit every time they're played 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Classic FM DJ's are the absolute best. They're all the antithesis of the Radio 1 types, who are mostly shouty and hyper, whereas on CFM we get the gentle exuberance of Titchmarsh, John Suchet and the mellifluous tones of Moira Stuart. Tremendous radio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on my mood. Cannot stand many DJs. Gave up on Radio 2 years ago as their roster is all dreadful. Jeremy fucking Vine. I enjoy the Sara Cox show 5-7 weeknights. Grant Stott's Vinyl Collective, 6-8 Fridays, Radio Scotland is the best radio going just now. #FridayNightIsVinylNight Edited April 7, 2022 by Boghead ranter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tremendous radio. Agreed apart from that irritating c*nt (Tim Lihoreau?) who presents the breakfast show prattling on. It’s a tough choice between him and the equally annoying Zoe Ball on Radio 2. Does she ever come up for air?? I can’t fuckin stand that constant inane jabbering. Commercial radio is a complete no and the ‘talk’ channels, 5 Live and Talksport are always wall to wall full of shite pointless drivel. Stacked with presenters who just love the sound of their own voice. I flick through the channels then just end up quickly switching off and driving to work in silence in a dark mood before the day has even started. I know I’m a miserable old bugger but it even annoys me just how much breakfast radio annoys me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit - 520 weeks of indie/rock songs released and they play 100. Absolute has gone to shit in the past 2 years tbh. Used to be good. Now it’s all about that stupid fucking “make me a winner” shite and Bush and Ritchie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I made the mistake of listening to Scala the other day. What a fucking pile of steaming dog shit with a cherry top that was. Had the second movement of Sibelius 1st (#scenes) followed by some silly c**t playing Justin Timberlake Cant Stop the Feeling on the piano. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Imagine being locked up in jail, and the guards play Absolute 90s all day, every day. Surely that would be the worst thing ever to happen to someone in a UK jail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 East Riding, shirley?The East Riding Coastline ends at Bempton Cliffs@Jacksgranda (Flamborough Head, just north of Bridlington).

Leith Green Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Fuckin stupid people stating things as "facts" when they know absolutely f**k all about it. A daft lassie on BBC Radio Scotland who is called "Storm" pontificating in a piece about kids names. She said "names influence how you will be in life, for example when you meet a Storm you just know she wont be an introvert" Horseshit, of course, but not even questioned by the spoon hosting the show............... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
