I'm The Type Of Brother Who Don't Like To Hear The Same Thing Over And Over...

...so I don't listen to the radio.

Radio 1 can be summed up this easily:

ALL DAY: Shrill, annoying, piercing, inconsistent, pointless shit.

ZANE LOWE: Started off as the not-so-eccentric Peel with the way he skipped genres.
Now he's the poster boy for shit.

TIM WESTWOOD: Remember the good old days with DJs like Riz on the turntables?
Well they stopped. And the music got shit too. Pretty shit.

COLIN MURRAY: Good banter and solid music. Not pushed enough. Anyone know when his show is actually on?

ESSENTIAL MIX: Essential lifesaver for the station - one of Radio 1's saving graces.

GILLES PETERSON: Diverse, well researched, well thought out, solid show. On at a shit time in the small hours.

So I must give my man Russ huge props for giving me the heads up on this little gem:

Just goes to show that not ALL of BBC's airplay caters for the cattle-market-masses.

This programme is THE shit!
