mjmooney Posted July 10, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 10, 2013 Commuting is definitely for CDs, not radio. Now I have my DAB radio, I beg to differ Mr Moon Man. Also, R4 has some decent informative output. I think we've had this conversation before. Thing is, I rarely get to play my CDs at home without fear of interruption. The car is a musical haven. And I prefer to listen to my choice of music without some dingbat wittering around it. R4 I respect rather than enjoy. While it is clearly informative and of high quality, I'm afraid I find it rather tiresome. As I said upthread, I get sick of hearing it due to her indoors' obsession with it.

mjmooney Posted July 10, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 10, 2013 Actually, the "musical commute" is one of the few things I'm going to miss in retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I get interrupted at home, but I just never have enough time that I'm willing to dedicate to listening to a whole album. Whenever I buy a new album it always gets played in my car first.

Shillzz Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) True. But the alternative was Fat Moyles and his bileous rants. Stuck between a rock and a hard place. I actually liked him, personally. It felt like he was the last of the adult DJs, and Radio 1 is a worse place in his absence.

Actually yes, it's a valid point you have there guys. I don't get anywhere near as much chance as I used to to listen to music at home, now that I have a wife and 14 month old girl. so my CD purchases (yes, I still buy CDs! ) do tend to get played probably more in the car than at home. I have roughly a 45 minute commute, so hour and a half daily, which is more than enough for an album listen (or 2). But I also like the radio, so I do tend to vary it. I get bored of just music after a few days, so then switch to 6 music or R4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 When a man is bored with music, he is, er... bored with music, I suppose. Never happens to me. I always like to mix it up, CD/Radio. Keep it 'fresh'. If i've listened to a CD several times, I like to listen to something else. 6 Music has a broader range of music than i possess, so often wins out at the expense of the CD. Bored of 'Music' was meant to mean 'Bored of playing the same CDs every time'. There are only so many CD's you can have in your car. I like the surprise element of 6 Music - you don't know what you're going to get next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted July 10, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) Underground GarageKim Fowley & Andrew Loog Oldham DJ - Interesting stuff, ever listen to them Levi?When people complain about voicetracked DJs, I tend to point them in the direction of this channel and those shows (and Bob Dylan's and Tom Petty's shows on Deep Tracks), which couldn't be done without voicetracking. i.e. they're good.
