Jonny Greenwood wishes 6 Music a happy eighth birthday
Jonny Greenwood marked BBC 6 Music's eighth birthday on 11 March with a post on Dead Air Space, the band's blog. With Radio 1 and Radio 2 chasing ever younger and ever older listeners, he asked, where can anyone who doesn't care for Chris Moyles or Ken Bruce turn during the day?
The station is under threat of closure, and Ed O'Brien wrote to the BBC Trust against the plan on 3 March.
Happy Birthday 6 Music, and all you other nerdy music lovers everywhere....now let's fight for many happy returns.

On 15 March, four days after Greenwood's post, Thom Yorke put an office chart on the same blog, the band's occasional list of what they are playing, headed “a shift in the weather?”.
