Atticus Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Do you only earn/have 'muso' cred if you adopt/have a pseudo manc accent these days? it seems every Radio 6 DJ has some sort of Mancney/ North-Western accent.

StraferJack Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Tom RobinsonJarvis cockerJohn peels sonHuey from fun living criminalsNemoneAdam and joe (recently anyway)Yeah all manc-ySomeone down south hears more than two northern accents and next thing you know the whole station is rife with itTsk tsk atticus. Much to discuss 6 music about and you choose that. (mark and lard should be back together tho )Of the norvners, I'm a fan of the keaveney and the laverne Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/22410-bbc-radio-6/#findComment-529509 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atticus Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 You are probably right, as I don't listen avidly but when I do, it's often some inane wananbe Ashcroft, Gallagher, Kershaw 'esque' northerner, who, it seems is automatically qualified to counsel me on all things music by virtue of their accent, alone.

StraferJack Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 And yet if they had a southern accent, the implication is you wouldn't have such a problem with their opinion?

Atticus Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Not at all, I just find the (perceived) perpetual 'northerness' somewhat patronising, 'I know what I'm talking about as I'm a Norvenor'. Muso snobbery, almost. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/22410-bbc-radio-6/#findComment-529520 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huey's brilliant show on a Sunday arvo. I have to say I find Lauren Laverne annoying but haven't worked out why. I'm pretty certain it's not her accent however.10 years old this weekend, Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/22410-bbc-radio-6/#findComment-529542 Share on other sites More sharing options...

???? Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I'm gonna side with Atticus at a general level (not Radio 6). Mancs banging on about their unique contribution to musicStone Roses, one decent album. massively MASSIVELY, M A S S I V E L Y overatedHappy Mondays - joke bandNew Order/Joy Divison - the latter (or earlier if you like, we're ok for one album too) New order, mmmm, in all honestySlaughter and the Dogs - I ask youOasis - if anyone thinks Oasis are better than Blur they need a fucking ear transplantThe Smiths - yes, fair enoughEdited 'cos i forgot OasisSooo, Simply Red are argubaly the 2nd best band from ManchesterScousers win THIS one hands down.

titch juicy Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 i listen mostly in evenings and at weekends and can't think of a single show i've ever wanted to switch off.Sunday's are particularly goodAnd to think they were on the verge of scrapping it a couple of years ago. Worth the license fee alone i reckon. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/22410-bbc-radio-6/#findComment-529740 Share on other sites More sharing options...

StraferJack Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Rosie - on the whole, what's to disagree with?I take issue with his ambivelance around New Order, but he gives props to Smiths and says Oasis/Stone Roses are overrated and Happy Mondays are a joke bandI can't see anything false or malicious in any of that (and I say that as someone who has all of the Stone Roses albums) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/22410-bbc-radio-6/#findComment-529914 Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Pibe Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Ah, and all becomes clear.Lets think, Manchester, bound to be some more pluses that the usual ones quoted, they gave us Elbow, first album was terrific and I've liked most of their output since, though still a bit confused as to how and when they had National Treasure status bestowed upon them.Badly Drawn Boy, the Verve (ok, black mark there), I was rather partial to the Inspirals back in the day and quite liked their new stuff on Music 6 recently. A Guy Called Gerald, one of the better ones from that era/genre.Ooh, George Formby!!

ibilly99 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 My favver warned me about you types - I used to love Alan Beswick having a pop at scousers on Red Rose Radio back in the 80s and my guilty secret was to listen to Billy Butler on whatever Merseyside station he used to present on.
