Don't tell me...Roger McGuinn ATE the horse at the end? (never managed to listen to it all the way thru...)

I assumed he was in character.

Which simply & brilliantly brings us full circle back to the clot Birrell. That really is a classic Mornington Crescent Lat.

Round of applause.

love the pic lat!

yes, suspicious song lyrics, as per branding the horse/etc, and conjoured birrell's 'brand bs' (neatly presented as 'concern') also detectable to my extended digi antenna, which has a particularly good reception on a clear day such as this.

though those in foggier regions might not receive the unavoidable parallels as clearly. i wonder what region dave's in? i have a recurring image of him being violently sick in the big soc loos, after too much sport at the wkend. .............yet, he's alone, there's no one to help him.

also picked up: steak and ..........horse sex. ................but neither 'don't do no harm' comparitively speaking ...........and imo make a very welcome change from govt horse sh*t and cloudy weather?

Stands back & waits for The Inevitables

But this time over on the jazz forum it seems....
haven't replied over there because I think Lat's post sums it up.

I'd rather have less Womad & Lassitude 'highlighted' on r3 & that budget spent on sending Dr Lucy & MAK on their travels. or supporting more WM apprenticeships.

Sorry to gatecrash in here, but I'm seeking refuge from the Lympic ceremony!

Punters may be interested in this feature in the Guardian.

Interesting comment Globaltruth. I do dip in and out of WM output on R3 occasionally - there is definitely some good stuff, but I can see where you are coming from.

An interesting phenomena - this song has been played 259 million times on YouTube, and is a global hit.

Whilst not the kind of thing that fits in to our normal listening, surely it shows that a song does not have to be sung in English in order to receive public acclaim? Bbc controllers take heed?

Gangnam K-stylie rocks out (I am reliably informed)

Will Oilrig play it before OP?

259 million can't be wrong, Global. I prefer this one though given my recent record on this I put the case that this effort is crossover.

Who's Will Oilrig?

389000 plays 59000000...not really a contest is it.

Whose will? The will of the people. Yeah.

We usually have the 'what do you mean' by 'what do you mean' discussion on this thread... Perhaps leaving the Ravi Shankar thread for discussion of him and his music...
