6 6 6 M U S I C



See that hot young thing? That’s Liz Kershaw, 85 year old cutting edge DJ on the BBC’s station for music fans Radio 6 Music. You’ve probably never even heard of 6 Music because, if you look at the figures, nobody listens to it. 6 music has been responsible for breaking LOADS of new bands though. Just this morning I heard this wicked new band called The Who, followed immediately by 4 young scousers called The Beatles. Then straight after that some band called Pulp. God, if it wasn’t for 6 Music there’s probably only a few hundred other stations available playing this cutting edge stuff.

6 months ago, the BBC said they might get rid of 6 music for being……..totally shit and not providing any public service whatsoever, but then loads of people who’d never actually listened to it got really angry for some reason that’s a bit beyond me. And because all these people where middle class the BBC have realised that employing washed up has beens, not wanted by anyone else, to play 40 year old shit recorded exclusively by white people IS a public service. So they're just getting rid of the Asian Network instead - no biggy.

Anyway, gotta run – Nemone’s on now remember her? Got fired from Radio 1 about 200 years ago for being totally utterly shit. And what’s she playing? Let me bust my Shazam out. It’s The Kinks! Amazing. As a music fan I just never get to hear bands like this ANYWHERE.

GO HARD OR GO HOME!
