I gues the powers that be think that radio 1 covers a lot of the less mainstream/under the radar/ alternative genre stuff (they've even done the whole album thing on occasion, so it is still around) during the evenings and into the night when they do the speicialist programmes and stuff, so maybe they thought there was no need for a whole dedicated channel like 6 music. I'm way older than the Radio 1 demographic but I still tune in, mostly cos my music taste isn't decrepid enough for Radio 2 just yet :P It's a shame 6 music is a digital only channel, if it was on the normal old fashioned wireless I'd tune in all day :(

Oh I dunno, it's quite a few weeks away yet. I'm not getting excited cos I've got a few other things going on before the end of August rolls around. How was your holiday anyway hun..? Good times? How did the epic road trip go? :)

is wondering why I'm spamming the lounge games when I never come in the lounge cos it's a wee bit frightening and i've really got loads of far more important things I should be doing right now in real life like doing the washing up and just generally getting my arse of the internet.... *goes back to WoM*

Well, I've proved myself fertile, so if he needs some help in that department....:sneaky: Yeah, poor kid'll probably end up being called Elliot..or Gertie :) It's cute tho seriously, them all being dads :baby: should calm them all down a bit, tho hopefully not too much :D

Got mah Q mag :thumbsup: Thought I'd share the bit about the next album. They're headlining T in The Park this w/end. Wish I was going.

Same here. I keep going thru my playlist playing the last few seconds of each making sure it flows well into the next one. And then shuffling things around accordingly. I'm putting far to much effort into this I know..haha :lol:

Well, you're no help... :snobby: Hope I can get on the barrier again for Mew :thumbsup:

^ wouldn't bother me. The longer it is the more chance of finding something really good, in my book. The general consensus seems to be 60 mins is the ideal length so that's what I'm aiming for...it's dead hard choosing what to chop tho :bigcry:

I thought you said you'd heard of some of them..?

hahaha that's a totally unflatering picture of Lily Allen :lol: Anyway, bitchiness aside....Good news for 6music :thumbsup: To answer the question above, the bbc radio channels are publicly funded yes, funded by the licence fee. Radio 1 tends to be aimed at the 13-25 year market, very very mainstream, lots of rn'b but occasionally they let some decent stuff through, it has a horribly restricted playlist tho :( There's also Radio 2, which has a much wider playlist/audience but they play far too much dodgy old crap. R2 is more conservative than R1. There's Radio 3 & Radio 4 that go more connservative again, have current affairs progs and radio plays, that sort of thing. Radio 5 is sport as far as I know :shrug: There's Radio 1 Xtra, plays mostly rn'b , urban, rap that sort of rubbish. Dunno, actually never tune in. Ofc, there's 6Music plays more under the radar stuff and some of the less mainstream alternative stuff. There's plenty of regional BBc radio stations too and Radio Cymru in welsh :D There's probably others I've missed that someone else'll know. Then there's the commercial radio stations full of Robbie Williams records and adverts for carpet, double glazing and insurance companies. I absolutley hate commercial stations, they are bloody awful. Hope that answers your question, no doubt someone'll else'll come along and answer it far better than me :P

Anything you'd reccommend..?

:cool: edit: Just for fun, I'm gonna bold the one's I've heard of... red are the ones I'm not gona miss, but I'll catch some others too. I'm only going fr the Saturday.

Truck festival. Someplace down in the saarf of Engerland. It's a pretty tiny ickle festival, Mew are the headliners on the Saturday and there's only about four bands on the lineup apart from Mew I've actually heard of :uhoh:

Ta very much. :smug:
