The radio reception here on the periphery of London wasn't great last night, so it was a struggle to get my radio aerial in the right place.  However, the show itself was excellent.

I particularly liked the post-rock folk music (The Twilight Sad: Talking With Fireworks / Here It Never Snowed) and the Joni Mitchell 'tributes' (although I agree with Robert about the name of the album).  SOme of the music, however, was so ambient (Arve Henriksen and Morton Feldman) that I almost drifted off to sleep once or twice.

Any progress on the Podcast?

Hi Bryn,

Unfortunately, as I have to be up early in the morning, listening to my computer in our 'study' is not an option.  Listening to anything late at night and forcing myself not to drift off to sleep seems to upset my circadian rhythm, too; this is why moving Andy Kershaw to the graveyard shift on a Monday night also irritated me enormously.  I also happen to share a house with someone who views most of the music on MI/WtSiT as 'odd' and 'annoying', and a small child who might be disturbed by it (not in the 'mentally unbalanced' sense, but in the 'woken up' sense  ).

For now, listening to my bedside radio with my earphones in and the aerial dangling off the end of the bed seems the only way...  Perhaps I can set my computer to record it automatically.
