- is 6music different to bbc radio 6

It's the same thing. I always ask my Google speaker to play it; variations of "play BBC 6 radio music" and I swear it takes pleasure in telling me I got it wrong

What a strange thing to say!

What a strange thing to say!

aye, hate is too strong a word ( i rserve that for An Tániste) Garvey is annoying; self-referential, musically shite and somehow has a radio show. he's the only one that sticks out as out of place on BBC6. i dont like amy lamay's shows but thats just a difference of taste. at least she seems to know what she's talking about.

 

[rettucs]

I would argue that Elbow have at least 2 great songs.
