Last night's Mick Ronson documentary on BBC Radio 2 was excellent - highly recommended.

Nice one, I was one of a select few who saw The National at Oxegen '11 while the plebs went off to watch Beyonce

Where's the fun in that??....:D :P

'Guth' is being repeated, Thursdays at 10.15pm on TG4. It's "The story of popular music and how the families of Irish emigrants changed the genre"

It starts off with Bing Crosby, then features John Lydon, Stephen Morrissey and Johnny Maher from The Smiths, Dusty Springfield, John Lennon and Noel and Liam Gallagher of Oasis. John Lydon's show is very good, I missed most of the others.

Boo-urns. This is a weak week for BBC music, everything is swamped by the Commonwealth Games.

Ah well, there's always Youtube. Anyone got a recommendation for Youtube Music Doc? - I might give these two a rewatch soon, lovely stuff

Ol' Donie

Not beebrock really, but if you want a bit on the history and development of music, youtube Howard Goodall's Story of Music. Might not be of interest to those of you that are in the mood for rockin.

Of definite interest is his one about Lennon & Macca's songwriting. It should be there in it's entirety. Think i'll give it a go later (again).

Edit: Howard Goodall's 20th Century Greats - Lennon & McCartney

Nice one Donie, I've seen a few of Howard Goodall's shows and he's a master of explaining the workings of music.

Coincidentally, I picked up one of his books in a second hand shop last week

http://www.djhistory.com/books/big-bangs-the-story-of-five-musical-discoveries-that-changed-musical-history-howard-goodall-20

Looking forward to getting stuck into that. I just need to finish all the books I have started, and then I'll get to it. It'll probably be 2017, but I'll get there!

Just finished watching 'More Than This - The Roxy Music Story' on YouTube, broken down into a few parts.

With an intro by Bono :O

Wow, looks good!

Wanted to get the Story of Music book in Easons a while back. Will get it sometime. (And that one now that i know it exists :-) )

Rock 'n' roll...it'll never catch on.

Skid X

Sonny Curtis from The Crickets there.

He wrote I Fought The Law, which was a huge hit for The Clash.

I'm pleased that Buddy Holly and The Clash are so closely linked. You can shake it up and make it louder, but it's still Rock n Roll.

Welsh Megaman

Jaysus, how many times are the BBC going to show this documentary?



Back to YouTube!

Tonight is Dolly Parton night on BBC Four!

Just discovered this station tanks to this thread, recorded Deep Purple in Rock yesterday, looking forward to that one.

Liked the Rainbow one last week but couldn't understand how they gave 4/5 for Down to Earth (fair enough) but gave 5/5 to Straight between the eyes.
