6 Music Rules!

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

    I'm a quite excited about new music these days and it has all to do with the discovery of BBC 6 Music. It's a bit like when I moved to San Francisco with a bunch of baseball fans and re-discovered my love of baseball watching the Giants from the bleachers at Candlestick Park. (But that's a whole other story) Ironically, the gents I moved across the country with and I comprised a band of sorts and after folding my days in a band chapter I've had less and less contact with "new" music. The fact that Ronald Reagan decided that it would be o.k. for three or four corporations to control most media hasn't helped much either. (But that's a documentary subject ) As for BBC 6 Music they are brilliant. I stumbled across them by accident at work while trying to find some music on the computer to drown out the Ranchara mix tape of songs played out of key to a 1986 Casio keyboard drum track by our dishwasher. Under the radio function on the computer there was a selection for alternative music and BBC 6 looked hopeful. I have now become their unofficial spokesman in Los Angeles. Due to the fact that they don’t have to sell toothpaste or cars they actually play music, music chosen by the presenters who actually sit in a studio and produce a show. Because of the time difference between LA and London I am usually listening to the morning show which during the week is hosted by Phill Jupitus who has a great time waking the UK and entertaining the rest of us. I have built a bit of relationship by sending frequent comments and requests it’s pretty neat to hear someone on the other side of the globe respond to your “cheeky comment or pithy request.” I even sent them a copy of a Pete Townsend CD because they had never heard his version of “Save it For Later” On the weekends Natasha does the honors and though she loves to make scatological references (she’s a new mother and poo and wee are you know… there) she is really great fun to listen to and has some interesting bits including "Mullet Over" in which listener nominate rocker or footballers with the worse 70's hair cuts.   

    What makes 6 music the fantastic experience it is, though, is the diversity of music they will play Lou Reed followed by the Arctic Monkey’s into Doris Day. it’s awesome checkout any play-list (they archive them) Plus they have a huge library of Hub sessions and Peal session- live in studio recordings by artist dating back to the 60’s. Just last month on the anniversary of Joe Strummer’s death they played a repeat of a day he spent playing songs he liked and talking about music how cool is that?
    I could go on and on but if you haven’t clicked one of the links yet you’re just not interested.
