    Thanks - saw it in the last year- lovely soundtrack though

    I’ve been watching Guy Harvey from the vaults on Sky Arts - I think this is a new series is it? I thought I saw the all of the previous series but certainly the one I watched the other night I hadn’t seen before - worth a watch - lots of The Tube and other great shows featured

    Sky Arts

    David Byrne's American Utopia

    01:15 (02:00:00) American singer-songwriter David Byrne and a group of international musicians perform songs from the popular Broadway musical American Utopia.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    I watched that ELO gig last night - good stuff, though there didn't seem to be anyone in the audience under 60. Bumper sales for the makers of Voltarol the next day I'd say...

    BBC4 will be following TOTP tonight with a night on the joys easy listening... capped off by a repeat of the documentary "I Can Go For That: The Smooth World of Yacht Rock" presented by Katie Puckrik.

    They're not lumping the pop excellence of Hall & Oates in with that shyte, are they?

    Ah heyor.

    You'll have to watch to find out...

    Yes they are

    Bonus... seeing as you asked me about Hall & Oates, here's a wonderful cover of Here Comes the Rain Again from Daryl Hall, first heard on RTE Gold's ABC to XTC

    Exterminate? I think I preferred the Daleks version...

    And now we have Frank & Walters as we get to 1993 on TOTP.

    Here’s hoping Duran Duran perform ‘Girls On Film’ at the Jubilee Concert, re-enacting the video too.

    The music was so so but the lights and effects were something else especially the light effects up in the sky over the palace at the end!

    That's brilliant. I didn't realise it was Dave Stewart on guitar until I read the comments!

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    The release of Undone (the Sweater Song) and Where's Me Jumper in such a narrow timeframe and across such diverse locations is surely an example of the "multiple discovery hypothesis".

    I feel a lengthy thesis submission could be done here. What global uncertainties were contributing to this concern for, and focus on, woolen products?

    Perhaps DNA advances and Dolly the Sheep later in the 90's meant that we could all relax more and know that our jumpers were replaceable?

    There was a piece in the Sunday (London) Times Culture magazine criticising the way the BBC have been running down BBC4, starving it of funds and new programmes as a precursor to killing the channel completely. It echoes may of the criticisms on this thread i.e. that the BBC4 audience are more likely to watch the channel than some of the audience the BBC seems enamoured with.
