Terry’s last day

 

Terry has never been my cup of tea – but he knows how to build a loyal audience. Had he been a presenter on my radio station he would have been my style, especially when the listening figures came in.

I think Terry summed up his style in his book Don’t Give Up The Day Job. He said something along these lines. “When you broadcast you have to speak to just one person – someone you really like – so I just imagine I’m talking to myself.” And I think that’s why I never liked him – he is just too full of himself.

Deep in the bowels of BBC Radio York, there’s been rumblings for many years. Great bands, stunning live sessions and an ethic of getting some, frankly, bloody great music out there. That’s all well and good, but it ain’t live – and the penny has dropped in Bootham Towers courtesy Mr Matt Seymour, music champ, prolific Twitterer and man of enthusiastically eclectic taste. From Cavalier’s transatlantic commercial balladry to Overreact’s angular indie-punk clatter inspired by Tokyo Police Club. From Julianne Moore’s Polyphonic Spree with synths to the jazz/soul/trip-hop of Alvin Purple; a terrific night is in store and all recorded for posterity and future broadcast.

Such hyperbole – but no less than any other gig blurb at this fine venue

  • BBC Trust considering non-religious Thought for the Day – Isn't most of the BBCs output non-religious? Do they now want to rid us a bit more faith. Colin Morris, a former Head of Religious Broadcasting at the BBC said that Thought for the Day was to "Lift our eyes from the mundane to the transcendent" – It seems we are doomed to more "eyes down". Hopeless.

  • BBC – Viewfinder: No more bright sunny days – The end of Kodachrome – a sad day. In this blog entry Phil Coombes captures something of the magic of using 35mm film – now all but lost in the millions of pixels captured with every shot.

  • BBC – BBC Internet Blog: Microblogging the Editorial Policy Meeting – Interesting blog about a BBC Editorial Policy meeting about Twitter. I love Rory Cellan-Jones description of the Ed Pol meeting ….
    Also – typically small minded comments on the blog from people who don't get Twitter, don't want to and definitely don't want anyone else to get it. And if you've already got it you should stop it.
