[Music] Grimmy

[Albion in the north]

Gone down hill since Mark and Lard did the Breakfast Show. I occasionally listen to Radio 2 but mainly 6 music. Shaun Keaveney.

 

[Notters]

All about Radio X.

Yeah apart from bloody Chris Moyles.

 

[Westdene Wonder]

Hmm, not so sure the figures agree with that glowing testament. I know I gave up on Radio 1 early mornings shortly after he took the hot seat.

Why not replace him with that Jo person that has completely ballsuped the Simon Mayo show

 

[Cheshire Cat]

I thought Tony Blackburn did the R1 breakfast show (at least he did last time I tuned in).

 

[el punal]

Call me very, very old school, but I stopped listening to Radio 1 back in the 1970s - apart from the genius that was John Peel (RIP) and Kenny Everett (also RIP). The mind numbing crud that was churned out made me vomit, as did the presenters.

Emperor Rosko is all i got to say!

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I took one look at his weird face and tight trousers many years ago and foreswore to never let a puff of his weasel wind pass into my ear canal. So I have never heard him speak. Did I miss anything?

'Grimmy' FFS. Mr Girmsdale more like.

This. To be fair, Blackburn was a cahunt. But Peel, Pete Drummond, and even whistlin Bob Cratchet were listenable. The Smashy and Nicey era that followed is well summarized here

The zoo waank coked-up ego fest that followed was indescribable.

Who?

Exactly

Radio 6 is all anyone ever needs. There is never any valid excuse for listening to commercial radio stations.

Is the correct answer. 6 is ridiculously better than anything else on the radio and I would happily pay my licence fee just for that station..... well, that and TMS.

Nipper likes a bit of radio 1 sometimes but even he draws the line at Grimmy and he's 11.

Does Radio 6 play Fleetwood Mac 'The Chain' followed by Pulps' 'Sorted for E's and Wizz' with new music by Johnny Marr 'Hi and Hello' thrown in for good measure.

Er, that's exactly what 6 does. And exactly why I listen to it. Johnny Marr did an extended interview the other week and his new stuff is on rotation. You're also just as likely to hear both tunes you've mentioned, or any random brilliant shit that's new or old.

So "yes".
