[sorry, anyone who doesn't know, i'm referring to jools holland!]. remember when there were an assortment of music tv shows? you'll have to go back to the 80's and possibly pre-MTV - Whistle Test, Rock Goes To College, The Tube [even with jools!], Something Else, So It Goes, etc, etc. bbc2 ran their 'Rock Around The Clock' in the 80's - 24 hours, non-stop assorted live music [including the buns and billy bragg together - awesome] imagine that happening now? maybe M[oronic]TV is to blame - ''Video Killed the Music TV Show'' anyone? as to broadcasting rights, i cannot think of any record company, in the current climate, who would be daft enough to scupper some big-time promotion - maybe the reason a select few acts were shoved down our throats was down to, dare i say, some kind of payola? rant over, steve g. p.s. one little rant - who the f**k is 'dj kissy sell-out' from radio one? [he did the 'dance' bit on bbc at glasto]. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "KPJ" To: Sent: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 7:59 PM Subject: RE: seven-seas bunnymen glasto?? > IMHO BBC coverage both TV & Radio poor to atrocious.
