BeebRock II - Music Shows on BBC Four, Sky Arts and everywhere else

sligojoek

The first episode features contributions on the first two of 10 songs by musician John Sheahan, satirist Oliver Callan, actor Daragh O'Malley, artist Ruth-Anne Cunningham, musicians George and Eddie Furey, archivist Catriona Crowe, and rapper Temper-Mental Misselayneous

John Sheahan and the Fureys I can understand, but what are the rest of them doing there?

The ‘Rick Rolling’ era begins.

Tonight's TOTP was brought to you by Black and Decker, so to speak.

BBC Four treating us to a Double Decker this weekend, so to speak. :cool:

Mark King in a vest, no doubt been working up a sweat from relentless thumb action.


Coincidentally, Relentless Thumb Action recorded a session for John Peel in 1980.

W.A.S.P!

10.45pm Our Musical History - Blues And Beyond (BBC4)

Has this been on before? Tonight's viewing is (potentially) excellent.

Welsh Megaman

Armadillos in their trousers. It’s really quite frightening.

Welsh Megaman

How much more black could Blackie Lawless be? And the answer is none. None more black.

Yeah, it's just people having a chat and playing videos they like.

Decent enough depending on who is doing the talking

Jonathan Butler!

I remember his seaside resort-themed album, ‘What The Butler Saw’.

I enjoyed Rick Astley's brief appearance on Britain's Got The Pop Factor And Possibly A New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly On Ice

Rick Astley - Man I feel old.

It all feels so recent. I was 13 and really getting into music. Lol @ WASP

John Lee Hooker The Boogie Man on BBC4 at 9pm, and to think people will put up with the poo on RTÈ watching the late late show at the same time as this documentary about one of the greatest blues guitarists ever!

Skid X

John Lee Hooker thing is class so far.

Skid X

Van Morrison there reminds me that John Lee gets a mention in The Days Before Rock And Roll, Van's tribute to listening to the early songs on the radio

Jagger's expressions (BBC4) delivering Angie remind me of Dandy Worhols' singer on Good Morning, and Only Rock'nRoll of Geldolf...or, of course, the other way around considering the direction of time
