Yes, it's not been the same since they stopped playing this at 05:20:

Not to mention Lillibulero before the 7 p.m. news bulletin.

You've got to be seriously fecking ancient to remember that.

I love the internet and DAB so I fon have to listen to any BBC crap.

[DaveB]

BBC 6Music for me, it's where all the cool kids hang out.

And Mary Anne Hobbs has a voice like silk.

They played Queen by Perfume Genius the other day, they get my vote.


qh

6Music is my preference but Hobbs voice really irritates me. Her and Tom Robinson get switched off almost immediately.

Dan Archer, and Walter Gabriel

Really old. Remember those from childhood when me mother listened to it.

It's just not the same without Tom Forest, Dan Archer, and Walter Gabriel & his steam engine.

The number of threads here which is regurgitated crap from the Daily Mail is quite worrying. Are we to deduce the majority of IT contractors are right wing leaning with a low IQ?

It's AtW mostly. He's always posting Daily Mail links!
