The Eternal Breakfast Debate in a New Place

[Black Swan]

I'm sorry, Caliban, but imposing this type of revelation on forumites is likely to cause us serious mental health problems. PLEASE - no more.

The only intoxication likely to come from R3 Breakfast and CBH and such tweets will be that brought on by Forum Members being driven to drink by such twaddle.

[Stanfordian]

... and the ones she perpetrates. This came as close as anything ever has to making me regurgitate my eponymous breakfast:

It's pathetic!

[french frank]

Um, Christian Pluhar?

Incidentally, not the same culprit, but I heard "Das Märchen von der schönen Melusine" yesterday - The March of Fair Melussyne (rhymes with 'mine'). And why risk a translation if you don't know what it means?

Note also that Radio 3 retweeted the schoolgirlish silliness below

Well she was intoxicated

I'm afraid that R3 has brought me so far that I have my drink driven to me these days.

(About the only thing for which I'm grateful to them.)

I'd like to say that the oxygen of publicity will only encourage This Sort Of Thing. But I fear no encouragement is needed. What is to be done, hm?

Keep away from Twitter!
OG

Keep away from Twitter!

Why keep away from Twitter just because of this? (not that I have a Twitter account myself); why not just give CBH a wide berth?

Or keep away from both.

I still like listening to Breakfast on my morning drive to work. I could do without the inane tweetery and the wedding music box, however. The music's OK, it's all the details that go with it. I liked today's Steve Reich piece - though could have done with all 18 minutes, perhaps.

My thoughts more or less entirely OG and like you I would have appreciated all of the Reich piece. But would it have been played at all without the listener request?

Mmmmm …… The music may be 'OK' if your mind is otherwise engaged, but apart from the surrounding detrital deposits I find it mentally unsettling to have 5 minutes of a Victoria motet, followed by 5 minutes of Duke Ellington's Don't get around much any more, followed by 5 minutes of Nielsen's prelude to Saul og David.

I find that quite painful and would rather opt out of that altogether. But that's just me - and that particular sequence.

On a pleasant summer morning nothing would better than Schubert 5 played in full after the 8.00 news.

I can't tell you how reassuring that is: I am not alone.

There seems to be something logically faulty about saying that people aren't listening for long enough in the morning to hear a whole work - so we'll play a part of it … Either way, everyone just hears part of it, whether they have time to listen or not
