Radio radio I know it might be unfashionable but I still get a lot of my music tips from radio. I listen to some radio live but I use, in particular, ...

Currently listening to one of my favourite shows @cerysmatthews.bsky.social and writing about trying to save another:

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

"I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

Isn’t it wonderful to hear big mamaThornton herself talking about music , writing, interpreting.. @bbcradio2

# Je ne ( bloody spell check :)

Non, he be regrette Brie -en

Not one slice of regret.

oh its a good one. thank you , am lining it up now. Isnt always interesting what comes out posthumously.... I always wonder at the process.. the thinking behind the releases that maybe the artist themself wouldn't have released in a million years.

not silly at all.. the stats are eye opening. As for the playlists, Im doing like you are, just being open about it. plus I so love character ( flaws and all) in instrument playing and voices that this is often a sign of human life :)

or Edam and the ants?

there is now :)
