Don't give in to pseudo-pedantic bullying so easily, Radio64. I thought you were made of sterner stuff.

Tease.

You've ruined it now - the new thread title is meaningless

Come to think of it, I concur - but musics still grates!

[Nick Armstrong]

You did.

Want it changed back? I can do that too

The choices is yours!

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

well i do find the Sound of Song rather fine, final instalment to go

[Richard Tarleton]

well I had a perfectly good " music coming up on the telly," thread which nobody ever used, so I'm not going to add to this one.

The trouble is, on the BBC there rarely is any music coming up on the telly. And if I were to say that, recently, I've been enjoying complete Mahler symphonies with the Concertgebouw (various conductors), complete Shostakovich symphonies and concertos (Mariinsky/Gergiev/Salle Pleyel), lots of Beethoven string quartets by the Belcea from Vienna and lots more besides, it just results in a load of stuff about the evils of Sky. Just today, Sky Arts 1 offers Celtic Connections, programmes about Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Greenwich Village music....and on Sky Arts 2 there's Belcea/Beethoven (OK, again), a programme about Colin Davis, a Miriam Makeba concert, Lang Lang, etc. etc. Tomorrow - Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, David Bowie, Tchaikovsky Pique Dame......But nobody wants to know, or they already do because they look at Radio Times.

You've ruined it now - the new thread title is meaningless, whereas before it actually meant something.

I agree. It would not have been my choice of usage but I am not upset by it and it was unnecessary to change the title - especially to something meaningless. Also, I would not be inclined to impose my linguistic prejudices on other board members by censoring their grammar.

Skates over some ideas a bit too quickly - and one of those "just listen to Bessie Smith sing" (well, we would, except you started talking over her after the first bar) moments - but Neil Brand is an excellent writer, Musician and speaker. (Cut his teeth accompanying silent films at the Eastbourne Film Soc in the '80s - including the unabridged six-hour Abel Gance Napoleon: improvising as he watched, IIRC. Talented bloke.)

Don't you dare.

So, put another nickel in
In the nickelodeon
All I want is lovin' you
And musics, musics, musics.

[gurnemanz]

Vive les musiques!

[ardcarp]

So, put another nickel in
In the nickelodeon
All I want is lovin' you
And musics, musics, musics.

Sheer poetries.
