MOPDTK Jon3 29.viii.11 [postponed from 25.vii.11]

[hackneyvi]

i think the withdrawal of the programme on those grounds is pretty insulting all round .... i do not think the irony in the name would be lost on anyone ...

P'raps they figured that people other than jazzers, who would in any case spot the irony in the band's title, might just drop in on the broadcast?

I've got a shameful secret. I often don't get irony. What is the irony in the title?

I don't feel insulted. I can see why the decision would seem oversensitive. But if the BBC as a world broadcaster now have a Scandinavian audience, the exceptional events in Norway may engender an exceptional response. If the broadcast had been scheduled for 9th July 2005 and then shelved, could you imagine finding the decision easier to accept?

It seems to me that it can be seen as a small act of tenderness rather than an insult.

Fair point.

yep fair point .... but still ....

I do take your points too, guys, I really do. But once the decision's been made, whatever the disappointment to us personally, I feel like it's fair to suppose it was made sincerely.

All being well, the best gigs of 2011 that Jez Nelson mentioned on Monday may yet include this gig. I really do want a second chance to hear what I so plainly missed so if anyone spots it coming, could it be flagged up in a new thread?

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

...most assuredly!

[PUSB]

I understand the decision. However, the programme that was broadcast was a real reminder of how bad Jez is - interviewing the interviewer of Keith Jarrett - whoever thought that was a good idea???? Jez, I assume. The interview was boring enough but Jez's contribution was mind numbing. Why didn't they just play some Keith Jarrett music?

is that link working as yet, to provide feedback about 'jl' time slot changes? or, we can e mail 'jl' direct, via the link on pge 3, 'jazz library' changes thread, on here.

'somethin else' title begs the question: what is it then?

a tough time for journos by the looks.

so, as a notoriously loyal beeb audience, do we pretend all is well at the beeb, in case what we complain about is opportunisticly twisted into somethin else?

or, have a darn good moan, in the faint hope that it might help?

HF, et al.

e-mailed Beeb - Peter Evans & friends (M.O.P.D.T.K.) will be broadcast August 29th.

hi and thanks Chas!

What is the irony in the title?

[of MOPDTK}

..been pondering this hackneyvi .... my bet is the word Mostly .... any other thoughts?

[handsomefortune]

thanks from me too. i shall look out for 'mopdtk' at the end of aug.

ultimately, it was a good replacement programme imo, especially keith jarret discussing the subject of 'creativity'.

[hackneyvi]

Here it comes ... Jazz on 3, Monday 29th August at 11pm.

[handsomefortune]
