In a corner of the morning in the past…
While we’re talking BBC, if you missed yesterday’s birthday broadcast of the first part of the BBC World Service Music Mix special on Bowie @ the Beeb, then you can listen to the whole thing by using this shortcut to a Real Audio file of part one of this fascinating two-parter:
pnm://rmv7.bbc.net.uk/worldservice/arts/highlights/bowie.ra
I know it’s a strange address but it does work. The program uses new and archive interviews to trace David’s thirty-odd-year relationship with the BEEB, interspersed with many of the songs issued on last year’s Bowie at the Beeb release. The second and final part of the documentary airs next week at these times:
15th January, 09:30 GMT
15th January, 19:30 GMT
16th January, 01:30 GMT (This broadcast can be heard in stereo at the same time on the Radio 4 frequency)
16th January, 14:30 GMT
We will try and post a reminder the day before next week’s broadcast if someone could please remind me. Thanks to Baby Steve K for the shortcut.
