This week, getting out there again and talking to musical types. Interview with Syd Arthur. The Brit Awards and why pop music has become so “safe”. Fearne Cotton names her baby Rex, future therapy sessions bundled into birthing package, 6 music polish off news of Pistorius with Hendrix’s Hey Joe. DJs need to know what they are playing, they really do. People say the BBC does not make make good use of license fee money, they should look at Norwegian TV, who show a fire burning for 12 hours, with advice on how to chop and stack wood. Bargain.
