R3 Needs AK

[Globaltruth]

Here's Mr 'Scratch' Perry doing Q&A in the weekend Guardian as only he could. What a delightful surprise from them usual suspects - I didn't know whether to feel sorry for the cat or the bird.

Yep Global - see what you mean; though I had this in my mind!

The above Q and A is brilliant. I love LSP. Same school as Sun Ra, Ivor Cutler and Bootsy Collins. That's definitely the tent I'm heading to when we all join in heaven.

And whatever happened to Verity Sharpe?

I'm currently working my way through VS's 6 progs from mid-May - good to hear her back.

In fact I listen to LJ much more than World on 3 these days - now if AK were to return, that definitely wouldn't be the case.

Me too, although you do get 4 LJ's in a week, compared to a Wo3 and a WR so they have twice as much opportunity to hit the mark. I loved that Nils Henrik Asheim & Gjertrud's Gypsy Orchestra playing Chopin's Mazurka Op. 68 No. 2 in A minor but I do have to say I wouldn't mind if FT kicked her addiction to Mr SylviaN.

How many hits should a DJ knock you out with in a two hour broadcast.


What does the team think ?

>>although you do get 4 LJ's in a week


You might do in The Peaks for some reason ( perhaps one is twinned ! )

Tuesday/Weds/Thurs then listen to the best one again - that makes 4 in my book.

Do you mean not everyone does that ?

A well deserved award - a U-turn like that'll have them moguls in Whitehall head huntin' you shortly Global!

I'm not good enough at self-serving double-think...

[Lateralthinking1]

I left and now do double-serving self-think. Wo3 is a "depends who is on" programme, much like Any Questions. Come to think of it, much like virtually all of the BBC output. The commercial stations don't even provide that dilemma.

[Paul Sherratt]

Lat,

> much like virtually all BBC output.

Indeed!

PS
Re the image. They don't make a gobstopper big enough, unfortunately.

I'm glad you're all having fun here because I'm not. This world music board is like bad religion. Largely written in gobbledegook. Can someone please tell me how my original post morphed into this boring trash. I think I'll stick to the classical boards where I feel I can actually learn something worthwhile. Roll on the Proms. We listen and we discuss. Anyone can take part who has a decent pair of ears. You don't have to learn a biographical dictionary about obscure practitioners or suck up to second rate DJ intermediaries.

Martin - with my host's hat on, if you would like me to close this thread, or move any postings to another thread just let me know.

As one of the posters I can vouchsafe that the intention was not to irritate but to entertain and share information; clearly this has not been the result from your perception and, as it is 'your' thread it is your call as to where we go with it.

You should perhaps note though that the majority of threads on this particular board do get derailed.

Kind regards,
GT.
