I've been banging on to Anne for years about how much I disapprove of buskers who use amplification. It's just wrong. That's not busking, that's doing a gig. She has shown how much she agrees with me by rolling her eyes repeatedly. Then, the other night, she went to see Grayson Perry do a talk. Turns out he hates amplified busking too! Now, it seems, it's an acceptable opinion. The only question is whether we can get enough single-issue voters together to get me and Grayson elected to the European parliament.

I love the enthusiasm and expertise Mr Floating Points displays here. More people talking about things like this please.

I really enjoyed this lecture/interview with Peggy Gou. I especially like the format. Talking plus music/listening is a great combination. And there's something appealing about the decks being in front of her like that. It's like she's offering you a meal. It's more spontaneous, integrated into the conversation. Slightly different and better than a set of pre-prepared tracks being played in by an anonymous technician in the background. I guess it's close to my dream scenario for a show - Desert Island Discs LIVE.
