**** you and your pathetic tiny, unchallenging playlist. You are the best out of a fucking shit bunch of [1]radio stations in the UK, but if I hear that new Pet Shop Boys single one more time or that Halo shit, my clock radio's going out the window. Non-commercial my aris.

The "local" rubbish around the areas I drive and live is appalling. They are all essentially the same station 'Heart' but all they ever play is fucking Take That (1) and James bloody Morison. I'll have Radio 2 any day!! (1) I wish they'd 'Shove That' -- Greybeard FLHR -03 UK (95 cu-in Stg 2. Big Boy 2!) Garmin Zumo 550, To get me home! ukrm@foxtails[dot]co[dot]uk

Or get an Internet radio. *Lots* of very very good stations out there including some outstanding Prog music stations. Phil
did you hear David Walliams on a few weeks back - I was pissing myself laughing, he was such a miserable ****.
No I *loathe* that program on so many levels. I love just about everything else about Radio 4. Some of the plays are a bit ropey, and ditto the comedy, but always worth a try IYSWIM. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) 116 Giulietta 3.0l Sprint 1.7 145 2.0 Cloverleaf 156 V6 2.5 S2 Triumph Sprint ST 1050: It's blue, see. www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk
If you like challenging noises, give the Freak Zone a whirl. <http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/freakzone/> Prog is quite a narrow subset of their output, though. It's the only broadcast music that I listen to.
That OK - Prog is just one (the dominant one though!) of the many music styles I like. I'll give it a whirl. It can't be any worse than the anodyne, banal stuff that R1 and Heart play. Phil.
I used to listen to Late Junction until they put it on so late (yes I know!). These was a cracking music prog on R2 about a year ago presented by a chap who was a genuine musician. He'd take a theme and play loads of different music based on that theme - could be chord sequences, key signature and so on. Blowed if I can remember his name now, but it was a real pleasure listening to intelligent discussion about music.
Hmm. This isn't filling me full of confidence.. BTW - Have a listen to Pure Reason Revolution. You might well enjoy it. Phil.
... cracking music prog on R2 about a year ago Wouldn't have been Nick Baraclough would it? -- R100RT Aprilia Pegaso 650 IE "The Flying Mythos" Formerly: James Captain, A10, C15, B25, Dnepr M16 solo, R80/7, R100RT (green!) www.davidhowardjeweller.co.uk
Small exaggeration. Hell, they played about a 15 second snippet of **** Buttons in the last season of Top Gear. Nope. Will givit it a whirl.
Not entirely sure, at least part of it is the fact that you don't get to hear more than a snippet (IME) of the discs in question. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) 116 Giulietta 3.0l Sprint 1.7 145 2.0 Cloverleaf 156 V6 2.5 S2 Triumph Sprint ST 1050: It's blue, see. www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk
No I don't think so. IIRC he was a classical musician and had a home with a studio somewhere in Somerset. However my Google mojo is sadly depleted this morning and I can't find who it was.
