Purge all memories of the Evening Session from the Public Consciousness

To: BBC Radio 1
Radio 1 have announced its plans to kill off the long-running Evening Session. As all music fans are aware, this is a disgrace. It's a disgrace that it has taken this long to kick an ageing, warped-faced Doc Marten-wearing overgrown Indie Kid out of his office and onto the streets with only a Wedding Present box-set to live inside.

Just what took so long? Had Lamacq barricaded himself in, wired his torso with explosives and set the bomb to go off if any record was broadcasted in the Evening Session's time-slot managed to increase any listeners' heartbeat above fifty beats-per-minute? Don't tell us. It's too late, and we're not interested.

So, in a similar way to Chuck-D demanding reparations for the hundreds of years of sins of the White Devil on the Black Race, we demand reparations for damages to our soul. Our full list of demands will be forwarded when we've thought of them. Until then, the following will have to do:

1) A 1984-style purge on the BBC and public records, removing any reference to the Evening Session, Steve Lamacq or four-square Indie-rock.

2) For the hours of the departed evening session, broadcast only a voice repeating: "Nothing has ever been on at this time. Ever. It was all a bad dream. Forget. Forget now". Communicate with the CIA to make sure the subliminal enhancement is of sufficient level to cause cerebral damage in even the most hardened of Followers.

3) The presence of four men with guitars within 100m of one another with the intent of "playing" a "song" based on the chord progressions or misjudged asceticism of The Beatles, The Stone Roses, The Jam, The Clash or - Heaven forbid - Manic Street Preachers to be judged as falling foul of the Criminal Justice Bill. Hanging is too good for these people.

4) The ritual slaughter of anyone who by action, through inaction, allowed an eighth-rate polyp of a record - played by three-to-four equally dolt-like simpletons who think Glamour is a stupid-sized magazine their big sister carries around in her purse - to be played on the Evening Session.

5) The ceremonial humiliation of any man, woman or child stupid enough to be seen in public wearing what is known as a "band t-shirt" or "hoodie" by continuing the self-imposed bullying my tattooing the aforementioned "band"'s "name" onto the subject's chest with a military-precise laser. And a piece of broken glass.

6) Any former Evening Session listener found using the word "Shine" in their day-to-day vocabulary, or judging musical worth with the out-dated, reactionary and downright pathetic terminology of: "soul", "authenticity" or "realness" to assume the mantle of verisimilitude they deserve, whilst strapped to the end of Saddam Hussein's latest batch of Scud Missiles and sent flying towards Morrisey's house at twice the speed of sound.

7) The brain of the offspring of any known evening session listener (hereafter to be referred to as "hellspawn") be electronically altered. Anytime they should be unfortunate enough to hear an example of "indie" "rock", the neural receptors in the temporal lobe will instead interpret this as either Sugababes' "Round Round" or "I Think We're Alone Now" by Tiffany.

A crack-squad of commando mid-wives (recruited from the ranks of captured Taliban soldiers currently held at Camp X-Ray) will be assigned to random perform checks of known "hellspawn". If any "hellspawn" should be found that have not had the required surgery carried out, a macroscopic syringe shall be inserted into their brainstem. This will contain a high-strength cocktail of strychnine, rohypnol and lysergic acid diethylamide. Should said "hellspawn" ever try to experience "indie" "rock" later in life, this chemical charge shall be delivered directly into the hypothalamus, thus causing instant shutdown of the autonomic nervous system, leaving the 'hellspawn" in a proto-comatose state similar to that of your average Evening Session listener.

That'll do for starters.

If you would like to the Evening Session to be purged from the public consciousness, leave your views here:

I agree: I think all radio should consist of alternating reruns of Desmond Carrington links c.1980-, and Clive Tyldesley snippets c.1984-5.

― the pinefox, Wednesday, 11 September 2002 09:53 (twenty-three years ago)

I say, send this guy here! While you may be utterly bored of the UK Indie scene, I have grown even more bored with my local stations that play nothing but "classic rock"; I'd happily, gleefully love to replace all these stations that play nothing but Elton John, Billy Joel and the same 5 songs by Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin and the Eagles -- News flash to any DJs listening...even those among us who LIKE the Eagles are sick to death of hearing "Desperado" -- with Smiths, Cure and J&M Chain.
I knew that all hope was lost when I was actually impressed that they threw a Doobie Brothers song into the mix. "Holy Shit! They never played THEM before!"
So send this DJ and this record collection over here! We'll gladly take him off your hands and we'll give you Howard Stern, Johnny "The Greaseman" Avacado and the entire staff of WMMR and WYSP in exchange. Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know...what will I do with two program directors?
Hint: They make great lawn gnomes.

You know what's fucking hilarious? People who have obviously never listened to the Evening Session having widescale opinions on it, and expressing them in "witty" manners. Fuck off and listen to Mary Ann Hobbes' slow descent into lung cancer, will you?

my mum died of cancer! well not really but still get a grip u guys. personally I couldn't even be bothered to work up the hatred for lamacq, as pathetic as he was. see? he just sucked the life out of music. but maybe i just really never got to know him. maybe if i'd just listened HARDER for that one half-chewed Rawkus 12!...

i wanna hear some stuff from their "experimental" + "difficult" album that apparently got them A GRAND away from bankrupcy! i read abt that today! nuclear sounds i think it is called. after seeing AMM i think i might be ready now.

here's a band called mint royale. BUH-bye!

― bob zemko (bob), Wednesday, 11 September 2002 19:10 (twenty-three years ago)

Right... so, the Evening Session is a bad thing because it plays bands that you don't like?

You ever listen to Dave Pearce?

― Mr Swygart (mrswygart), Wednesday, 11 September 2002 19:15 (twenty-three years ago)

oh dave pearce doesn't care what he plays. otherwise he would be spinning public enemy all day

― bob zemko (bob), Wednesday, 11 September 2002 19:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Dom can come back and defend this shit?

You'd rather listen to Westwood = your opinions are declared invalid under the 1995 "Tommy Boy Payola" law.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 11 September 2002 21:42 (twenty-three years ago)

They play Idlewild, Ash, and the Manics = every single fucking show on radio 1, excluding Westwood (Satan's bitch) and Dave Pearce (Satan).

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 11 September 2002 21:57 (twenty-three years ago)

I've come in at this late hour not to argue abt some stupid radio show.

Just to say that BTW I'm very very sorry abt the cancer stuff. It's idiotic and it comes from a 23 year old that doesn't know shit abt life. apologies if anyone is angered by it...

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 11 September 2002 22:01 (twenty-three years ago)

The anti-Evening Session thing is really unfunny. That said the Evening Session is feeble. Yes it's a good idea to have an indie specialist DJ; no it probably shouldn't be dear old Steve L who even a nearly-30 ex-indie fan like me can see is a bit past it (and no this isnt ageism - Peel is grebt - Lamacq is still stuck in Camden c.92.) Unless of course the indie audience is made up of nearly-30 still-indie fans who think Uncle Steve is keeping the guttering flame alive.

― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 11 September 2002 22:19 (twenty-three years ago)

Peel can be great but he can be annoying with his choices too.

I'm serious abt the ant-evening gsession thing. his choice of recs is poor. John kennedy at XFM can do a far better job than lamcq and that is that.

I still like indie. I think there's some decent stuff being put out but that isn't reflected on the evening session.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 11 September 2002 22:28 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm still offering the entire staff of two, count 'em, two local classic rock stations in trade for this Lamacq pariah!

Dave Pearce's ideal playlist these days = 90% Fragma, surely

this isn't another jibe from Mr Carlin, surely? somehow the opening post seems more obvious and flat in its "humour" than Marcello ever is

― robin carmody, Thursday, 12 September 2002 01:46 (twenty-three years ago)

The point is, it's not Lamacq that's been axed (he's contracted for another two years, and he's been given a pay increase), it's the Evening Session itself (including, I believe, the regional Sessions for Scotland, Wales, or Ireland).

I'd be less pissed off if I didn't think its replacement would be a) some overpromoted researched stumbling through two hours of "urban" music, or b) The Kiddiemosh Nu-Metal Hour.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 12 September 2002 05:50 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah before it was "you've never even HEARD it it's great you don't know what yr on abt" now it's "um it's not so much lamacq as the idea of a dedicated indie show". surely the evening session IS lamacq, it's his whole persona. and it's not like it's any less irrelevant when lamacq's away and they get some irish people in to do it.

keith: mwah!

― bob zemko (bob), Thursday, 12 September 2002 09:12 (twenty-three years ago)

I would rather not actualy listen to it but there is a place for a dedicated new/indie rock music show on Radio 1.

― Tom (Groke), Thursday, 12 September 2002 09:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Through a 56k modem dial-up, streaming is painful, and RealPlayer is excruciating at it's default bitrate of...what is it...24 kilobits. Even the greatest band in the world sounds as bad as Oasis at 24 kilobits.

― Lord Custos Alpha (Lord Custos Alpha), Thursday, 12 September 2002 11:18 (twenty-three years ago)

ToM SeZ:

I would rather not actualy listen to it but there is a place for a dedicated new/indie rock music show on Radio 1.

I agree, but I always thought that Lamacq did get far too much airtime considering his rather narrow tastes. Personally, I think they should either dump him entirely, or bust him down to 1 show a week. I would really like to see his dreary sh0w replaced by 4 or 5 other specialist shows. I think I posted on another thread that I would love a weekly Robin Carmody &/or D.J. Martian evening show. All the moreso now. You can probably work out thee chances ov that ever happening, so I'm afraid thee radio stays off in thee evening in our household. And yes hataz, I have listened to Lamacq's show on numerous occasions, and I did not like it one little bit. Not b/c ov just not liking his musick either, it's the narrowness, both stylistick and regional that got up my nose, & when he did occasionally venture out ov LoNDoN, it always amazed me that all thee regional bands he did pick up on whenever he came up to thee northeast sounded like husker du surprise surprise (sigh)

― N0RM4N PH4Y P0S70R!NG FR0M W3RK, Thursday, 12 September 2002 11:39 (twenty-three years ago)

He is not irrelevant though, there are a MASSIVE bunch of kids that think exactly like him. I suppose they might be collectively irrelevant though.

Like Norman said, I think as much as 2/3 of what he plays are acceptable, it's just the attitude (and by extension the other records he chooses to play that completely makes me not want to listen. And if anything the regional ones are worse (I used to get the Welsh one when I was in Wales and it was all Murry the Hump, Murry the Hump. SHUT UP)

― Graham (graham), Thursday, 12 September 2002 11:53 (twenty-three years ago)

hooray for Norman ! the nation needs me !

But have you seen the touted replacements for Lammo in this week's NME:

Colin Murray Northern Ireland Lammo Clone

Zane Lowe - Kiwi MTV presenter/ Xfm DJ - awful music taste - typical mainstream Hip Hop (that now has a home on 1Xtra) and Nu Metal.

Mike Davies - annoying Yank Radio 1 Lock up DJ awful yoof oriented culture music, bog standard modern punk, punk pop, emo, hardcore rock and some hip hop

On a related note John Peel has just turned 63, will the BBC retire him at 65? Under employment law could they let him go as he has reached retirement age without much fuss? Who would be a replacement?

Some candidates

Ross Allen, BBC London

Steve Barker BBC Lancashire

Keith Cameron, ex Xfm

Dave Clarke

Dave Howell (fat Cat and ex Obsessive Eye)

Trevor Jackson

David Keenan

John Kennedy, Xfm

Kevin Martin

Tom Mugridge/ Duncan Bell (Leftfield section of Muzik magazine)

Andrew Weatherall

Simon Williams, ex Xfm - best daytime show ever on Xfm

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Thursday, 12 September 2002 12:15 (twenty-three years ago)

typical mainstream Hip Hop (that now has a home on 1Xtra)

As a side issue DJ M, 1Xtra can hardly be got by anyone cause it's on digital only. I'm sure you're keen to shunt hip-hop into the 1Xtra ghetto but it was set up to ensure more urban music gets on the air, not less.

― Tom (Groke), Thursday, 12 September 2002 12:20 (twenty-three years ago)

My assent would most certainly go to a Carmody / Martian show, but only Carmody AND Martian, not Carmody or Martian.

― Tim (Tim), Thursday, 12 September 2002 12:44 (twenty-three years ago)

Robin Hood & Maid Martian.

― Tim (Tim), Thursday, 12 September 2002 12:44 (twenty-three years ago)

martian you so cray-zeh! ross allen is seen as too close to gilles peterson (he has even been filling in for him recently) tho he is better. trevor jackson would be the best of that lot i think. everyone else is WAY implausible. (dave howell! radio 1?!)

― bob zemko (bob), Thursday, 12 September 2002 13:31 (twenty-three years ago)

actually i like steve barker too, he'll have to play more contemporary stuff than he's used to tho. but he's got the right attitude definitely.

― bob zemko (bob), Thursday, 12 September 2002 13:33 (twenty-three years ago)

great idea Tim!

now if only the radio 1 roadshow was still doing Martian and I could do it from Sidmouth and bemuse the bored holidaymakers :).

― robin carmody (robin carmody), Thursday, 12 September 2002 16:18 (twenty-three years ago)

still doing = still going, obv

― robin carmody (robin carmody), Thursday, 12 September 2002 16:19 (twenty-three years ago)

Not Colin Murray. Anyone but Colin fucking Murray. I'd even volunteer myself ahead of him... "And so, for tonight's revision break, TIm from Slough asked for Sum 41. Unfortunately, he's forgotten that they're shite. So, instead, this is Inspiral Carpets..."

Zane Lowe is probably the best DJ type out of the three, just his taste in music is a bit iffy. I do get the feeling that the 'favourite' thing might be NME's invention as well...

― Mr Swygart (mrswygart), Friday, 13 September 2002 13:39 (twenty-three years ago)

As a side issue DJ M, 1Xtra can hardly be got by anyone cause it's on digital only.

Not quite true as it's available on sky digital (5.7 million subscribers), cable, and the internet. Quite how many who'd listen to 1xtra would choose to do so that way is quite a different thing entirely though.

I'll go and phone my mother and tell her now, Tom.

Nick Southall used to post here, right? Does he still? Anyway, a couple of weeks back, on my blog, I criticised BleedMusic for doing their big "Down with the Evening Session, death to tedious power pop indie shite by white boys with no soul" schtick, whilst the lead article on their webpage was... an interview with Idlewild. Just searched for Mr Southall's posts on ILM. From the "Last Five records you bought" thread:

Five old Idlewild singles from eil.com, You're So Fragile, Film For The Future, Actually It's Darkness and both CDs of These Wooden Ideas.

I can hear irony flatlining from here.

wasn't sure if it was meant as part of the SAVE 6MUSIC thing, but yea, clearly a significant milestone in the 90s revival

four years pass...

But have you seen the touted replacements for Lammo in this week's NME:
Colin Murray Northern Ireland Lammo Clone
Zane Lowe - Kiwi MTV presenter/ Xfm DJ - awful music taste - typical mainstream Hip Hop (that now has a home on 1Xtra) and Nu Metal.
Mike Davies - annoying Yank Radio 1 Lock up DJ awful yoof oriented culture music, bog standard modern punk, punk pop, emo, hardcore rock and some hip hop
