Funny how Nyman's concert works too often have a soundtrack feel, while this actual soundtrack piece doesn't seem to.

I'm with you, SeanG, hence my beginning with something from that lovely film's lovely soundtrack.

@ RevRab:There's a point, you're right, multiple streams with competing live shows is an issue for listeners. The "embarrassment of riches" effect...
I'ts also already an issue with Shulkind, Uncle M., and Amanda. the archive is a digital-age godsend, but sometimes you kinda wanna listen live, it's part of the traditional radio "experience."

@Rob W: Thanks! I'll update the playlist to reflect that, and I'll make notes on my copy as to the various performers. (By the way, I enjoyed the group you had on yesterday, Bombay Rickey; the singer was appropriately operatic.)

I caught Bombay Rickey too, lot's of fun, very impressive.

Does anyone else find that some shows "work" well on archive, like podcasts or "mixtapes with patter"?
For example, Rex's show works great for me as a pre-recorded package of bon-bons, while Dave the Spazz does something very similar, but it's got more of a Murray the K/Wolfman Jack vibe, something you want to share live, as it's happening.

kat330:

Cool or uncool isn't quite what the issue is with Stewart, but I certainly figured *every*one is entitled to have an opinion without being piled on. Seems to run against the Freeform model. Now, being needlessly rude about anything goes beyond, but just saying "don't care for," it certainly should not be discouraged (which I think it is in general).
