  9. Anyone read the piece in yesterday's Herald Arts section about radio Scotland's re-scheduling?

    1. John Cavanagh used to play Bounce In Your Buggy.

      If you're too tired to look it up:

      "Filling two and a half hours of early evening schedule from Monday to Thursday with a listener-generated request show, Get It On, looks lazy, and distinctly old hat by comparison with the inventive radio to be found online and elsewhere in the digital age. Add in three hours of morning phone-in with Kaye Adams on the same days, and you begin to wonder which decade we are living in.

      But then, that all depends on what sort of station Radio Scotland thinks it is. Consigned to the back two pages of the Radio Times under the "where you are" strapline "Radio in your area", it is just another local radio station. And by swapping properly produced, specialist-presented curated programming for listener-created swathes of schedule-filler and cheap chat, Radio Scotland is behaving exactly like local radio stations across the nation below the border."

      Someone devised a cunning plan to no longer require the services of Fred MacAulay, whose show was actually okay on the days Susan Calman or Sanjeev Kohli were presenting.

      Delete
    3. I like Sanjeev but I can't stand brother Hardeep. You should hear him oozing sincerity on Radio 2's Good Morning Sunday when the Blessed Clare Balding is off.

    4. Fred was probably a very good accountant.

      "All right!" (said Fred).

    7. Kottke was big when I was young. I see John Renbourn died last Thursday. He was due to play The Ferry the day before.50 years since his first recording and a website full of plans. Enjoy yourselves.

  11. Whats all this "Reasons to Love" all about??
    You can tell I'm not much of a listener these days...

  13. Is Roxy John right about the Queen song last night? Well spotted if he is.

    I know its in their top ten along with Call Me, 500 Miles, Hurt etc, but Since You've Been Gone for a Blackmore solo is a joke.

  14. Just me today??
    Mac what were you moderated for?
    Glen, were you moderated too? I did chuckle earlier when Ms O Hara asked if you were being sarcastic, but that exchange seems to have disappeared.

    1. Mac's comment seemed harmless to me. Miss O'Hara was saying that old people are narrow minded, so I disagreed.

    2. Oi! You sayin' my sarcasm is harmless?




      Must try harder.
