Steve Lamacq show today 16:00 on Worth a listen if you want a good laugh?
As above. Most of the soundtracks I heard only seem to have the shortened version of the main theme title music, but I have located on Spotify the full version (a long winded but enjoable classical tune). Can you get this on CD do we...

Jeff, If you can get iplayer over there? They played a brilliant live concert at the BBC yesterday 8th December. Really worth a listen.
It is amazing how little we hear of artists from north of the border, here in the US. Any recommendations welcome. Of course there is Sarah Mc and some well-known, but I am talking people who might be flying-under the radar here....
Its £14 on the river at the mo.
Only the other week whilst listening to Masters of War on Bob Dylan's Freewheelin' I commented to fellow forum member Tony Miller that this was, for me, the best Protest Song ever written. It would appear others think likewise as can be seen in this...

I was due to see Gravenhurst in Leeds last Thursday but was sent an email just before the gig saying it had been cancelled due to the death of the artist.
Nick Talbot - whose albums are released under the name Gravenhurst - was 37. I was really...
How much of a premium are you willing to pay for a 24bit download instead of 16bit? I just looked on Qobuz at the Todd Terje album. £12 v £8. (I ordered the CD for a bit less from Amazon.)
Just finished reading Granz biography by Hershorn which is a definitive look at 30-70s Jazz under the tutelage of the master promoter. Hershorn goes all the way researching every player, every concert, every conflict and triumph. Granz was most...

We've a come a long way since Beecham's famous remark,A new thread in honor of the best (and worst?) harpsichord recordings. To start off, today's release by Mahan Esfahani, recorded and published in record time by Hyperion, presumably to...
Sad news. He was one of the nice guys. Big part of my musical youth growing up. R.I.P. Ian and thanks for the music.
I would put my money on Rae Morris to be a household name before Easter and massive around the world by this time next year. Also up for a award or two for this her Debut album. Denis A got me into her a couple of years ago,and she has...

What's the consensus amongst the forum massif? Better to buy Older Mint or New Re-issue Vinyl?

Hey forum members, Probably like many others, I enjoy the Music Room and the "What are you listening ...." thread every single day. For me it is THE source of exploring new artists and albums. I already discovered many great ones and believe...
I'm not much for opera but this looks interesting and a place to start. There is a 70 CD box set (Warner Brothers I think?)....remastered at 24/96 and also the ability to download hi rez. Amazon has pre-order at $275 which is pretty...
I'm sure there are many fans of the best band ever, who would like to contribute their favourite lyrics. Mine is a section from How Soon Is Now: There's a club if you'd like to go You might meet somebody who really loves you So you go, and you...
Do you just put on things at random or do you put together some sort of "balanced" concert based in key, composers, genres or what? I'd be interested in views.
