Totally agree Steve, live music is all about interaction with the music and musicians, not about reproducing a facsimile

I caught this on ClassicFM in the car last evening;



It sounded interesting so I looked it up and it turns out it's a computer game soundtrack;

I am enjoying some more of the soundtrack now (unfortunately only as mp3 though).

The game is superb, i got it for the daughter at Christmas. The soundtrack fits it perfectly.
A very clever game, not all games are about shooting things in the face any more.

I'm a bit tired of the one who must be obeyed disturbing me every 5 minutes with ' I can't get it to do this dad!, please find the answer on google'

he does this with all his lego adventures, and don't get me started on minecraft.......

unravel looks like it might offer some peace and quiet

Re minecraft, theo came stomping downstairs past night in tears because some bastard had gone onto his world he was making and destroyed everything he had built.

Id much rather they played offline, but they dont always listen......

At least I can monitor who they are playing with, and booted a load of people off the friends list they use my profile, havent let them have their own for this exact reason and I can see all messages ect that they get

Sitting outside the local farm shop keeping the dog company while Jane gets the supplies in, and this is on Radio 4. A fascinating story, and a man with a beautiful voice. Intriguing.

Looking at the website, they've done similar programs on Anne Briggs and Robert Wyatt. That's my bedtime listening for the next couple of evenings sorted.

I was listening to this while painting the bathroom. Some surprises - like him being expelled from Uni for supplying recreational substances to his friends. Very interesting.

Thanks for the info.
There's a clip of Anne Briggs singing 'Black water side' on one of the 'Folk Britannia' programmes that's about as good as anything I've seen or heard.

Talk about the power of music - thanks Mike. I'll have to stagger into the kitchen now and wash my glasses.
I really must find an LP with that track.

Another brilliant R4 series I can't believe I haven't come across before, Soul Music takes a single song and talks about it and to the people involved with or affected by it. As a die-hard Sandy Denny fan this was a nice discovery, but looking back through previous episodes, there's a load of good stuff there.

Yes, a good album is that :)

Meanwhile our Ant's idea of a joke is to have bought me, for Father's Day, a secondhand copy of the monumentally over indulgent pile of shite that is Yes - "Tales From Topographic Oceans"
I got five minutes into "The Revealing Science of God" before I fled screaming into the garden, with him pissing himself laughing!
I knew I shouldn't have said I liked that King Crimson track DTB played through the Doc Mods speakers at Owston.

After all I've done for the lad, THIS is the thanks I get :shock: :lol: :lol:
