Watching the Paul Simon concert from Central Park. Such joyous music, but sad to think it wouldn't be appreciated so much today. Hopefully we'll get there again in the future

Derby v Luton best described as 'agricultural'...but also showed why the Championship is the best league, bar none!

Here’s my review for @arcanadotfm.bsky.social of just released ‘Splonge! An Introduction To Tubby Hayes’. 10 tracks recorded for Fontana between 1961-69 and compiled by @themumper.bsky.social for Decca Records. We owe them a debt of gratitude. @motorcitymick.bsky.social arcana.fm/2025/04/13/t...

My last Sunday Breakfast on BBC Radio 3 and today's Pierre Boulez Day! The schedule dedicated to one of the great figures in classical music. This morning there's some of his spectacular recordings as a conductor and a taste of his music. And I love this photo of him with a Womble! 😂

Classical Music for March 25th. Happy 150th birthday to Trial by Jury, the earliest surviving (and successful) work by Gilbert and Sullivan. This one act opera is a real delight. #classicalmusic #musicsky youtu.be/W9jWHTjl-cU?...

Revisiting The Rest of New Order...these remixes have stood up surprisingly well. The Perfecto version of World is strong, while Hardfloor's take on Blue Monday is an earth mover!

Soccer Saturday's time is pretty much up I think. They're not even sending reporters to all the Championship games now, and what coverage there is falls well below the standard of past seasons!
