kath Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) Thanks Rose. He did it years ago... Probably 2007/8 so it will be interesting to see how it differs this time. Edited May 30, 2016 by kath 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreacher Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) I missed it today...did he speak a lot? i didn't type up what Mika said about "I Saw The Light" by Todd Rundgren, but here's what he said about "Hometown Glory" by Adele: “I think that there’s a couple songs that changed the path of Adele’s career. And ‘Hometown Glory’ is one of them. I mean it’s easy to say it’s something like ‘Chasing Pavements’ was the breakthrough but it wasn’t, it was a breakthrough from a radio point of view and from a commercial point of view, but the other songs that pulled it much closer to her complicated, and quite beautiful story that she has had already at such a young age and the maturity that she has to describe her emotions. She’s so emotionally intelligent. She’s not someone who’s the most well-read person in the world but when she speaks she does it like this kind of like wise, zen Buddhist kind of like--[laughs] She has a sense of perspective and you feel reassured and I think that’s what so nice about this song.” Edited May 30, 2016 by kreacher 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilyn Mastin Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 It's good that he's doing something in the UK at last. He could do with announcing more UK gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAK1 Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 So today was Dusty Springfield, I Only Wanna Be With You and The Bee Gees Inside And Out. Looks like tomorrow one pick will be Pet Shop Boys, which slipped out in the conversation today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried, but it's not working for me All I can do is listen and share...I have a very basic phone and that could be the reason why I followed all those steps though http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/3xnp8b5CMvq0Z5K7r61JZJm/download-tracks-of-my-years-with-the-bbc-iplayer-radio-app Edited June 4, 2016 by crazyaboutmika 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyolivier Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Could anyone download the audio file ? http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03x5chp I have tried every kind of tech wizardry I can and it seems the R2 website has set themselves up just so that things cannot be downloaded. I think the only way to get this is going to be to record it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
