Light music you are slightly embarrassed to enjoy listening to, and real cheese. I'll start the ball rolling for both types

Since we're talking Chris Hazell, bombo, it's Black Sam for Ron: reduces me to tears every time: indeed I've just put it on now, with the usual predictable results...
Oh, and Stinking Bishop, without a doubt

I will go for Orkestra del Sol, with some Georgian suluguni cheese on the side (a bit like Halloumi, but with better melting properties) |

Jumping on the bandwagon for this one, Danish Blue (which I haven't tasted in geological ages and seems to be terribly fattening), and anything by Robert Docker  |

Charles Trenet and Roquefort. I mean, on the cheese front there are infatuations that come and go, lots of lovely old hard crumbly things, sloppy smelly things, just plain old cheesy things come and go mais le Roquefort demeure... Damn versatile too, crumble it through pasta, have it on figs wrapped in bacon, just a few crumbles on sliced pear heated in the oven... It couldn't be sold in Australia for a while - some poncey law about unpasteurised milk products because it seems we can't be trusted to put our cheese in the fridge and some people got sick.  But last time I was back there I was staying with my parents and Mum brought me some cheese and crackers and I thought funny, that looks like... no it can't be, can't get that here, must be some disappointing pasteurised substitute or one of those really good but still not-quite-there Aussie blues, took a bite, thought cripes, they've brought it back and so they had. Trenet? Jolly tunes, jolly orchestration, jolly singing, text always has a sting in the tail, like Je chante where only if you listen closely do you realise that the carefree protagonist is taken in by the cops and does away with himself. (The last or is it second-last verse starts 'Ficelle...') Ow. |

Best piece of light music: Dambusters March. Don't know if it qualifies as being light enough, or because I'm never remotely embarrassed to admit to liking it, even though so-called light music isn't normally my thing.
Best Cheese: Capricorn; a goat cheese but otherwise a bit like brie or camembert (without the smell)

[unable to withstand further temptation, Torheit rose from his computer, adjusted his attire, and set off into the Moscow evening in search of Roquefort...or at very least some unpasteurised Bulgarian brynza...

The caption on the band's website says Jodhpur, India. I think they're manufactured in China, where you can find them working as taxis in many provincial cities. (Beijing, however, has banned them ahead of the 2008 Olympics, alleging that they create a poor impression of the city). My cheeselessness is now remedied with Gorgonzola, which looked lonely and forlorn in my basket by itself, so I bought some Bulgarian Pinot Noir to keep it company  |

ollie and martin - charles trenet and eric coates - unbeatable!
as far as cheese goes - any goats' cheese, shropshire blue, a GOOD brie (too many of them have an ammonia-like tinge nowadays)... and a hand made crumbly white cheshire with newly baked bread and (hope this isn't too gross) - Lurpak!

We have them in Brighton  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/southern_counties/5153122.stmMore seriously, I am a serious cheese fan - roquefort is a great favourite, but numerous holidays in Normandy have led to a real fondness for such delights as Pont L'Eveque. |

At every one of these [classical] concerts in England you will find rows of weary people who are there, not because they really like classical music, but because they think they ought to like it. (Shaw, Don Juan in Hell)

I particularly enjoyed the information that The UK versions have been fitted with hoods and curtains to keep out the rain and cold, PW |
