BBC Trust Survey Print E-mail

The BBC trust is asking for our thoughts of their recent proposals for cuts and realignment of certain BBC services. Statements like:
  • Close Radio 6 Music and focusing the BBC’s pop music output on Radio 1 and Radio 2
  • Reducing the BBC offer in pop music radio by closing 6 Music
urge me to ask you to spend 20 mins completing the survey. Obviously someone at the BBC thinks 6 Music plays "Pop" music, just like Radio 1.   Thank You

Lots of news and views on our boards .. sign the petition here: http://www.petition.fm/petitions/6musicasiannet/1000

Word of dire warning: 

Michael Lyons was interviewed on the Today programme this morning. He was thoroughly evasive when it came to the future of BBC6. Humphreys asked him whether they would "listen" to licence fee payers and if there was a massive groundswell of support for the station then keep it. He wouldn’t confirm that such a public outcry would even be taken into account!!

Sparklehorse - Mark Linkous Print E-mail

 It goes without saying the enormous loss to music left by the passing of Vic Chesnutt and now Mark Linkous within a few months of each other.

 

The web is a-buzz with tributes / mourning / past interviews / videos and live clips. Remember what also exists though, is the music. So dive back into the imaginative world of your  Sparklehorse collection.
 
These albums are now for, very sad reasons destined to become far more appreciated then ever before and everything else about the band can be read elsewhere, but our personal memories remain. My first discovery of the Band, through the album Good Moring Spider as recommend by a good friend Jake and then going back to Vivadixiesubmarinetransmission and following the band through the albums shows.
 
It’s another, great loss, but thankfully, we are left with a legacy of music to savour.

Lou Reed has finalised details of the digitally re-mastered edition of his seminal 1975 album “Metal Machine Music.” Reed will release the ground breaking album in the UK on April 19th on his independent label “Sister Ray” in the following three formats – double gatefold vinyl in quadraphonic sound, audio DVD and Blu-ray. 

 
The album coincides with Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Trio UK concerts at the Cambridge Junction (April 17), Oxford O2 Academy (April 18) and London Royal Festival Hall (April 19, part of the Ether Festival).
 
Lou did the digital re-mastering from the original multi-tracks with the help of world-renowned mastering guru, Scott Hull. This is a new and improved re-mastered version, and is different from all previous releases on the RCA, Buddha and Sony affiliated labels.
