I love 6 Music. I may only be available on DAB, and thus be regarded as a second class radio station, but even so, they play a selection of intelligent and eclectic tracks that is good enough that I'm not driven to turn off the radio in disgust and boredom, like I am with every other music radio station ever.

But there is a worm in my musical paradise. And that worm goes by the name of George Lamb. There is a episode of Family Guy where Brian and Stewie become radio DJs as the double act "Dingo and the Baby". This is radio lengthened by a whole bunch of inane zings from an effects box. I swear that George f***ing Lamb is actually worse than the radio show portrayed on this parody of everything that's wrong about radio in the modern world.

He's inane. He's sexist. He encourages criminal behaviour (of the "going out on the rob" kind, not the "copy some music files" kind). And he talks way more than plays records (possibly the most heinous sin on a music based radio station). In short, he's a proper twunt. And he's poisoning 6 Music for me. It's hard to listen without being reminded of his lowbrow insulting inane show.

Can't he just f*** off back to Radio 1 or whatever rock it was they dug him out from under and give us some decent music DJ instead?

ETA: Oh, if you are of like mind, there's http://www.getlambout.org.uk/. How much good it will do, I'm not sure. But might be worth signing up to.

ETA2: If you're of unlike mind, then there's http://www.keeplambin.co.uk/. So far, the 'outies' are winning. Given that the Offensive One himself has plugged this on his show several times but not given out the URL to Get Lamb Out, it seems as though I'm not alone in feeling this way.
