.........................has anyone taken the gentle hint that if you don't want to be Simonized you could do worse than switch to Radio2 for Brian Matthew on a Saturday morning? I listed the advantages in presentation earlier in this thread. Last weekend's playlist included Canned Heat with "On the Road Again" containing that tortuous vocal and uncannily similar phrases to "Green Onions", Etta James singing "At Last", Mary Wells' "My Guy" which in turn has what seemed to be a phrase from "Canadian Sunset" included and T-Bone Walker sang a blues which has no less than three obbligato instruments commenting on the lyrics! His guitar, a piano and muted trumpet were all in the mix.... and you've got two days left on i-player.

Sounds of the Sixties is indeed a decent option . iplayer for the previous nights "World on 3" is another.
On Breakfast this morning they are soliciting that listeners tweet their holiday listening lists.
I REALLY hope KipperKid is listening..........I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.

It is a good show,with sometimes interesting and unusual records.

O mio babbino caro
Va pensiero
The Lost Chord
Calling all workers
Beatus vir
Pavane pour une infante défunte
one movement from 'The Lark'
one movement from Mozart's 3rd VC
one movement from Weber clarinet concerto
one movement from Bach oboe concerto
Firebird
touch of Pomp and Circumstance
a plethora of jazzy pieces from Satie, Kapustin and (the real thing) from Chick Corea
something for the xylophone called 'Gee Whizz!'
The problem seems to be that what is deemed to 'broaden the horizons' for one person has another reaching for a CD. Most mornings.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

I am afraid that I am no fan of SMP's style, or indeed her and her producers' choice of music, in Breakfast (she is better elsewhere, for example on Hear and Now, but her tone strikes me as an odd mix of the childish and the patronising in this context). Indeed I no longer listen when she is presenting (PT and, at weekends MH - but no one else - remain fine for me). But I do think that you should present your argument fairly.

Originally posted by underthecountertenor View PostWhat an odd post. It comes out of nowhere, with no explanation. One might infer that it was a complete (albeit paraphrased for effect) playlist from a Breakfast programme. But one would be wrong, since the full playlist for this morning (25 items against the 16 listed) also included, amongst other things, Tomkins's When David Heard, a Sonata a 6 by Lazzari (which in my book is a rarity), Vaughan Williams's Antiphon. But I suppose including those items would detract from your argument. Best not mention them, then.

Black Swan
After this morning I am totally now disgusted by SMP. I head more jazz and other things of non-interest to me this morning than I have heard for awhile. We do know that Beatus Vir is one of her favorites. I used to defend her but am now really disgusted by the music she and her producers dish up. For me not palatable. I know others may disagree.
