[Misc] Radio Never to Appear again

[Stato]

So we won't hear this on the radio tomorrow or probably ever again. I'll miss it, but at least nobody died.

Here's two that we'll never hear a new show of again for much sadder reasons. No Jeremy or Humph on ISIHAC.

How many of us dream of turning the radio on one night to find by some magic this:

What radio do you mourn the passing of?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Need to fix the thread title, pal.

As it happens there is a site where you can download hundred of John Peel programmes, so I get to hear him often on my iPOD....

"Good morning everybody, where's the Danny Baker Show ?

Taken by a suit off the airwaves."...


Take him away, Wisbey.

606 with David Mellor.

Good spot. Thanks I have also streamed full Peel's, but I meant that we'll never hear a brand new one.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Is the answer Simon Bates' "Our Tune"?

Man, how I hated that!

 

[Bry Nylon]

...for anyone who will be at a bit of a loss at three minutes past nine tomorrow morning...

 

[Norman Potting]

The Goon Show (before even my time) and the Navy Lark.

 

[The Andy Naylor Fan Club]

Man, how I hated that!

Just for you....

Tomorrow it's going to be shite at work.

I'm sure this must be at least the 3rd time Baker's been sacked by the BBC. Give it a couple of years and they'll ease him back in on BBC London before getting Saturday mornings back to normal.

yes, at least twice, one more was a score draw when he asked for a pay rise, was refused, so worked his contract out and left bemoaning the mean spirited bean counters of the BEEB !

 

[portlock seagull]

The Timbo show on Radio Mercury...the heart of the Saaaaff!

It is. 606 for 'glorifying violence'. Utter disgrace - he absolutely wan't.

I loved sitting in my garden listening to his 606 in the early 90s. He invented 606. His successor was also sacked for 'controversial' comments (bloke called Diamond). Then they appointed the anodyne lickspittle, David 'Chelsea' Mellor, who actually read the programme from a script. FFS

DB's chat programme talking about vinyl on TV is a masterclass.

I'm still livid he's been dumped again.

And I was in the Vortex the night Elvis died, and DB announced it on stage and got rightly mocked for paying homage to the epitome of Teddy Boy tosh (I had been attacked by Teds on Wardour Street weeks earlier). And DB also liked 'oi!' for a bit. So I had reason to dislike him. But I don't.

Are you sure? I'll bow to your superior knowledge, but I've no memory of that. Gary Bushell in Sounds yes, but in my memory, the NME had no time for it and Baker's attempts at popping his colleagues' pseud bubble were more about Chic and Earth Wind and Fire than the Cockney Rejects.

His affection was very short lived. But, yes, the Bushell was the leader here. DB was a gadfly back then. Ostensibly a punk fan, but as we know now, music finished in 76 for him.

Incidentally I was on holiday in Purtugal some years ago and bumped into the Bushell, trying to find a parking space and mobile signal. I ignored the ****er. What a dirty rotter.

It's slightly worrying that Baker could end up employed by a music station. These days, I'm not sure I could take the amount of Hootie and the Blowfish he used to play on The Morning Edition.

Shhhh but....his musical taste is a bit shite. There, I said it

I wonder what he'd make of this?
