But I grow quickly weary of their DJs casually mentioning obscure bands and their even more obscure import coloured vinyl etc. OK, they're meant to be experts in their field but that sort of schtick isn't my cup of tea. Craig Charles' funk & soul show is good though. And i think there's a reggae one too.
Blessed are the radio stations without adverts, though. Amen to that.

Have you listened to its daytime shows recently? I will definitely agree that ot used to be and the night time shows can still be very indie schmindie but the daytime shows (especially Lauren Laverne and Radcliffe and Maconie) play a lot of well known, accessible music.

Glad to be the catalyst for your mid morning rage-gasm.
Some of us need a little music to drive to at 6:30 in the morning.
And whilst I have respect for John Humphrys i'ld prefer something more melodic at that time.
Further more when i'm slogging home for 50 miles i'ld rather not listen to a poet reading out her diary when she was a "right on" student activist.
Now take all that, wrap it up tight and shove it up your elitest bum-hole.
Oh look, it's "Womans hour" right now. Whoopy frickin doo.
( , Wed 11 Jul 2012, 10:24, Reply)

And depending when you're driving home you've got the always-excellent magazine shows at 4.30 & then PM. NEVER any poet/student activist bollocks.
And woman's hour is usually engaging too.
....& you didn't mention The Archers, which (I'll concede) is fifteen minutes of rancid bumfodder.

Then home at 6:30 in the evening when this is on.
www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01kknzp
"Comedian Rufus Hound is joined by poet Jackie Kay who revisits her politically active student years in the early eighties, when she went on every demo she possibly could. She shares some of her early poetry, and talks about what a revelation it was to finally meet and make friends with other black women when she was at university."
Sounds like poet student activist bollocks to me.
Leaving at 4:30? The working days still going strong.
And during the day I don't have radio I play my own music.
Is that allowed?

Radio 4 is good for news & op-ed pieces but it can get too arty-farty for its own good. The comedy shows are, by and large, excellent. Radio 2 only has one daytime DJ worth listening to but the specialist evening music programmes can be good - not always though. Good thing is, if I don't like what's on the radio I just pop in a CD.
If you really want elitism, listen to radio 3. I mean, who REALLY likes opera?

What annoyed me more than Moyles' presence was the constant background toadying of his gang of lickspittles. Comedy fucking Dave and that lot. What a bunch of wastrel cunts.
I struggle to listen to anything on the radio. Radio 1 is full of crap, Radio 6 is bearable until one of the DJs casually name-drops an obscure band's limited edition EP that he bought once and I feel old listening to Radio 4. I've no idea what's on Radios 2 and 3 to be honest. And, the lack of any commercial radio stations in this post is quite simply because they're all bollocks.

Since losing the ability to plug my iphone into the car, I've been desperately trying to stay 'down with the kids' by listening to radio 1 in fits and spurts.
The trouble is that the entire station seems to be a 24 hour shrine to the camp, northern drawl of that fucking Grimshaw. His voice makes my shit itch.
If you ask me, Radio is a dead medium riddled with cliche and being slowly throttled by the march of technology.

Lux & Ivy's Favourites - Vols 1-11
Having noticed some Cramps fans on these hallowed pages I thought I'd proffer a link to 11 zip files of tunes that Lux has namechecked in various interviews. Total labour-of-love fan production. A bit like "Songs the Cramps Taught Us" on steroids.

Also I expected after he asked, 'why are you just standing watching!?' or some such his mate was gonna do some subtle self touching, but that's maybe just my sick mind, but I'm of the opinion if you're gonna go for sick laughs, ya gotta REALLY go for it, push it so far it goes from 'Oh please!' to 'OK you've just gone WAY too far beyond any good taste but I gotta admire you for having the balls to go for it and the intellligence to find a way to get away with it!' realms.
Thin ice to walk on tho, risky humour, don't show too much, don't use a hammer to crack a nut, but don't seem too scared to push it, y'know, can't worry about negative feedback too much, gotta risk a few slaps to get a few good guilty laughs off the more sick humour minded crowd!
