that crown looks really cheap
That's not a Lamb.
are you lying?
Actually
he's staying on 6Music but moving to Saturday and Sunday mornings. Still great news though! The Twunt.
Or it might be Evenings
I know it's 7-10, just don't know if it's AM or PM.
I'm going to rather rashly assume that it he moves to Saturday morning and replaces even a small bit of Adam & Joe, there will be an indie revolt.
And rightly so.
yeah and he better stay well fucking away from the funk & soul show also.
AWOOGA
AWOOGA
funk & soul show
= OSSUM
I'm putting a 'Yo La Tengo' sticker
on my pitchfork in readiness
You're right
it must be evenings. There's no way they'd replace Adam and Joe with him. It's be Armageddon.
adam and joe is 6 musics most popular show.
he annouced he was moving to the morning weekend show on radio 2 this morning (apparently)
Not according to the 6Music message board
where the moderator says, "Hi
Yes, it's true. George is moving from the weekday morning slot to a weekend 6 music show.
More information on this, as and when I have it."
oh god what's jo whiley doing at the moment?
oh jesus no
hidden away on weekday mornings i don't have to ever ever listen to him because i'm at my desk with itunes
weekends i love having 6music on while pottering around in the house, this is going to fuck all that up. i thought they had made a radio station that actually understood - this fucking SUCKS though. hope it is radio 2 he's going to. or 1. surely he would be more at home with all the other mindless fucks on non-nightshift radio 1?
I want Jupitus back
Perhaps one of the greatest DJs, and most unexpectedly good. I miss Phill and his love of terrible, bizarre music, amazing, wonderful music, vinyl obsession and habit of playing 3 records at the same time. And new music on 6 music, which was always something good
this is great news
filter him out to the weekend 6music wasteland (adam and joe and garvey excluded, obviously)to stink it up with kershaw
just don't move riley, coe, adam or joe, or garvey
and jarvis on the way too. what a good time.
there's some good stuff in the weekend schedules on 6. namely
the aforementioned Craid Charles funk and soul show. Does it exactly what it says on the tin obviously. He knows his shit as well.
yeah that's good...the weekend specialist shows are good
freak zone too.
i was more just refering to a general dj that doesn't really have a musical schtick. weekend seems to do that a lot worse.
yeah I love the freakzone, got quite sucked into a interview last night with
some guy who's putting out a retrospective of Davey Graham, sounded like a fascination character.
no this SUCKS!
weekends are ace on 6music at the moment, except for dave pearce being a mong on sunday evenings
keep lamb on weekdays, away from me
or, better, let's rip his fucking voicebox out of his throat
hello.
I was just looking at a morrissey revuiew thrown at my Facebook and saw this - hurrah, but really most DJs are terrribly pointless and surplus to requirements. Can't we just have a robotic voice announcer tuned to 'heartbroken' on his radio voice settings?
AWOOOGA
Thank fuck
I'm never up before 10am on the weekend, so hopefully I'll never have to sully my ears with this aural vomit again
To be fair 6 Music has been about as interesting as napkins (or serviettes)
for about 4 years now - is Liz Kershaw still embittered/on Saturday? i only listen to Radio 3 now, 'as you do'.
Fair enough
but 6music's worth listening to if you're ill and can't bear the Archers theme tune echoing round your addled brain or whatever (same applies to Planet Rock playlist). Or for Marc Riley, Adam and Joe, Huey Morgan on the weekend (yes it's actually good), Gideon Coe, and I think Cerys Matthews is pretty good too.
I'd have to agree that
Liz Kershaw has had more than a fair crack of the whip and she should be put out to pasture.
really, what is the point in liz kershaw
she's much worse than lamb but gets no stick at all.
she's not on
for a total of 15 hours a week! Nor is she pushed down the listener's throats with adverts and podcasts and all that shite. Nor was she brought in on a raft of John Noel agency twattery that was all hand in glove with the 6music management. Nor did she suck off Lesley Douglas for the job.
That. Is. Why.
Can I express my happiness that Collings and Herrin are replacing Adam and Joe this Saturday?
I'll miss Adam and Joe of course, but this is a dream replacement after the dreadful Danny Wallace's fill ins.
Stop detracting from our unbounded joy
about the Lamb news
Stop detracting from our unbounded joy
that Lamb's leaving weekday radio
I fear they'll replace him with someone equally dire- Richard Bacon has been filling in after Lamb this week and he's almost as bad, god forbid he be chosen as his replacement...
it's Lauren Laverne
according to the news on radio 6 just now.
She's fine by me.
Lamb's doing 7-10
Does that mean an hour off A&J or is everything moving up an hour to fill the new gap?
i doubt they'd shave an hour off a&j seeing as it's their most-listened to show
they must be bumping them up an hour
but but but
but what about Black Squadron?
lamb's doing 7-10am? on a weekend?
oh, that's FINE. who's even awake then anyway?
Here's all the info
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/nov/02/george-lamb-leave-6music-daytime
Laverne taking over Lamb's slot. Personally, I'm not too ecstatic but still a move in the right direction. And Adam and Joe will be starting an hour later, which is no bad thing. More people will get to hear them on a weekend.
Richard Bacon taking over Laverne's show
He was supposed to be taking over from Simon Mayo, I thought.
Oh, he's doing that too, I see

Bloody hell
Bacon is awful! The powers-that-be....what they give with one hand, they take away with the other.
I like Bacon, he's pretty funny
I feel a bit sorry for Iyare, he's quite innocuous. Black Squadron won't be as hardcore now!
Now 6Music just need to get rid of Shaun Keaveny, maybe replace him with Lauren Laverne. His features are awful, so embarrassingly local radio.
Bacon
Is commercial radio personified - all chat, inane text-ins (last week he was actually getting listeners to text in mundane things they were up to), complete lack of interest in/knowledge of music, clearly loves to hear himself speak etc etc et al
You're so, so wrong
and his mundane texts is a regular, quite funny feature.
Having discussed it with him at some length, I can vouch for him being knowledgeable and far more importantly passionate, about music.
Agreed
I used to LOVE Bacon's XFM show.
Maybe harsh on Iyare
but he was pretty rubbish, not dislikeable particularly, just kind of crap.
The daytime thing doesn't affect me that much, so I'm just glad he's on the early on Saturdays.
Just means that when I get up I have time to go and get the paper and some breakfast first before settling down for some radio. Sweet times.
I also really like Richard Bacon, but the chances of me ever being in front of a digital radio between 3-5pm on a Saturday are beyond minimal.
Does that mean the end of Black Squadron then?
I never managed to get up at 9 anyway.
Someone
needs to hire Stewart Lee for a weekend show, that they do.
^ Not this
*sigh of relief*
At last. Shame he's going to be bumping A&J an hour on saturdays though, but at least he's not on every day now. I like Laverne, I'm glad they gave her the slot too.
I like him.
There. I said it.
Dear god man,
WHY!?
I quite like Shaun Keaveny.
Should I be hung?
Nah.
He's alright.
nope
nah, i like him too
not super funny, but chortlesome enough
I worked on his show for a month this summer
And he's a truly lovely gentleman, good show as well.
George Lamb on the other hand, is very annoying. Anyone that greets you with "Easy!" instead of hello or anything isn't okay in my book.
Definatly a step in the right direction
I still want to see Lamb ahnialated(*sp) but a massive improvement
I bet George Lamb can spell 'annihilated' correctly
Excellent!
Bring back Gideon Coe to his former slot. :-)
hurrrah! Victory at last!
The big fat goofy ugly cunt who knows fuck about fuck about music is off!
Thank fvck for that...
...now I can dare to put on my favourite radio station in the day without fear of hearing his stupid show.
A move to a weekend slot is a good step but he still needs to go to Radio One sharpish IMO.
And also he should take Dodgy Dave Pearce with him.
I like Leverne a lot :-)
