I'm fairly sure this has been covered elsewhere on the Forum, but it's worth keeping an eye on some of the more obscure digital BBC channels as I have just watched 2 shows which were on BBC4 a few months ago. One was called Can Blue Men Sing The Whites, (a story of how blues music was reborn in the early 60s by the Stones, Yardbirds, John Mayall etc.) and Blues At The BBC. Both programs show just how good the BBC is at alternatives to disco/house/acid/garage/rap crap when they want to be.
I know this of no use to non-UK Forum members, but maybe they could watch these shows via BBC IPlayer.

[glow=red,2,300]Just love the title of this thread[/glow] ;D
Another digital channel to keep an eye on is Sky Arts 1 (Sky Arts 2 as well if you like opera/classical etc). It's worth a look in the Radio Times each week as you never know what gems might be broadcast, both Tull stuff and other musical jewels in the crown.

Indeed Simon Cowell is almost certainly the musical antichrist but.....I gotta confess..... the current series of american idol has actually got some fantastic artists on it. I was amazed!!! You guys in the US do not get the Simon Cowell TV shows we get over here. It's wall to wall middle of the road stage school wannabies who just want to be famous here.
Brits, what do you think are the chances of seeing anything like this on the next series of X factor?
