Wow

It's a claustrophobia machine. With a bumpy floor.

No idea what he's like now but I used to love Dave Berry when he was doing the breakfast show with Lisa Snowdon on Capital. It may just have been that pairing though. 

Seems to spend three hours laughing at his own jokes every morning.

Ditto.

I think Bush and Ritchie are hilarious and would take that over Steve Lamacq every day of the week.

Come at me. 

I've no idea who Bush and Ritchie are, but you've not set the bar too high comparing them to Lamacq.

I don't really enjoy listening to the radio.

I listen to R4 in the mornings to keep up to date, but find the interrupting style of interviews so annoying.

I'll have Radio X on, but find it a propaganda machine for the Stereophonics, and of course Chris Moyles just is not a nice person.

I'll switch to R2 but Jo Wiley is just too bland for words.

Then onto R6Music, which is occasionally good before you get a run of tuneless indie from bands I've never heard of, before 'explorations in white noise'...

The Huey Show is good though.

My audio is pretty much 100% podcasts + Spotify. Unless there's a big new story on on which case I'll listen to the news.

I haven't listened to the radio since Mark and Lard finished

I do not, and have never, listen to 6 Music. Everyone radio in my house and car is tuned to Absolute, aka Radio Lammo, and I am fine with that. If anything I find it comforting.

Radio 6 went up its own arse when that campaign to save it occurred. Even the name 6 music is annoying. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Aye right enough. It was at its peak back when George Lamb did the breakfast show and Liz Kershaw was on for 3 fucking hours a day.

[Badlands]

Seems appropriate for me to confess that I was quite the fan of George Lamb, radge sound effects and all.

Obvs Russ and Matt was peak 6.

No shame in that! I'm taking my daughter to see them again at Rewind Festival next Sunday.

No I'm not! Cancelled because of the flooding

Bruce Springsteen’s popularity utterly baffles me.

ditto Christine and the queens 

beyonce is vastly over rated and the love in on here for her Glasto set again baffles me.

Only found out today that Tom Ravenscroft is John Peel's progeny.

I'm glad to hear you say that because I only found out a few months ago and everyone I've told really shocked has apparently known this whole time.

Basically I'm just relieved I'm only the second to last person to find out.

The Verve: A band that by all known metrics I should be into but leave me completely cold.

Welcome to my world. If I put my mind to it I can pretty much out-stupid most people

Funny enough they played This Is Music on t'wireless earlier. Forgot what  a good tune it was, haven't heard it for bloody years.

They just do nothing for me whatsoever. Lost track of the number of times I’ve tried with Urban Hymns and given up half way through.

My very favourite tune about Heroin, the one that absolutely, completely aligns with my own experience of the drug.

It probably should not be in this thread. 
I count this as a secret shame, all good, not in anyway female or funky or cool.

Hello bamber,

Fortunately I've never tried, or would try heroin, either. I ruled that out of my life when I was a teenager, and haven't moved my stance since. I just really like that track musically.

That's the first time I've listened to Mik Artistic. Happy enough with that as a first listen.

As an aside, I very nearly had crack once. I was that out of my mind with depression etc, that I just wanted it all to end. I felt that I could take no more. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I asked somebody to take me to a dealer. So, I went with them (this was about 2am) and they actually took me to one of my places of work (I used to work as a building surveyor for a housing association). I knew that I couldn't enter the hostel, as the staff would know me there. So, I deffed it. Fuck me, but that was close. I'd have been down the pan by now, I reckon, had that little escapade resulted in me getting a hold of some. There but for the grace of God etc.

I always end up stumbling upon Mik Artistik at glastonbury, usually when he's playing Sweet Leaf of the North, which I do actually like!

My confession is that I don't really like The Glade.

I like the area but dislike 98% of the music that is played there, hence I very, very rarely go.

To be clear, I like the area.  It's being under that cover with the speakers all around that I'm not keen on.

It's a blessing in hot weather - shaded and there usually seems to be a cool breeze. 

Incidentally, what was going on a few years ago when the glade wasn't there (or at least had no acts on) , and then I think it returned the following year as the g stage or something?
