閉鎖が発表されたBBC 6 Musicが11日に8周年を迎え、Ed同様閉鎖反対、及び先日リンク貼りましたが、FacebookのSave BBC 6Musicへの参加を呼びかけ。

BBC 6 Music - 8 years old today. Something worth celebrating: I mean, when Chris Moyles and Ken Bruce aren't for you - and Radios 1 and 2 strive to appeal to ever younger and older listeners - where else can you turn during the day?

Happy Birthday 6 Music, and all you other nerdy music lovers everywhere....now let's fight for many happy returns.

Jonny

「BBC 6 Music - 今日で8歳。祝福すべき事：つまりChris MoylesとKen Bruceが君たちに賛成でないとき − Radio 1と2はこれまでより、より若者や年輩のリスナーにアピールするよう努めるよ。日中他のどの局聴ける？って。

ハッピー・バースデー6 Music、そして至る所にいる音楽好きのオタクのみんな…今こそ、この良き日が巡ってくるように戦おう。」

1 2 3 4 .... Chieftain Mews anyone?

For those who don’t know or remember, Senor Chieftain Mews,as he likes to be addressed now, was our slightly disturbing host on ‘the most gigantic lying mouth of all time’ …. Well, his comrade in arms and occasional masseuse, Chris Bran (who has also been hugely involved in our webcasts since we started them back in 2000), has a pilot out of his new comedy called ‘This is Jinsy’ .. it went out last Monday night on BBC 3 and you can still watch it on the BBC iplayer, but only for a few more days… hurray whilst stocks last… Go check it out .. It’s mental:

If we are on the subject of things you should watch then allow me to point you in the direction of the film ‘1 2 3 4’. It was written and directed by an old friend of ours from Oxford, Giles Borg. Giles was a true mensch of the Oxford scene back in the day .. he directed videos (Colin starred in one he made for the Candyskins, and it's on youtube..),and made a fine documentary on Ride. Well, he’s made his first feature film and it’s the story of an indie band forming and trying to get a deal … Sound familiar?...I love it.. You can see a trailer of it at:
http://www.1234themovie.co.uk/

It’s showing around the UK at the moment:

Spring is sprunging…

Senor Chieftain Mews("the most gigantic lying mouth of all time"DVDに登場している怪しいホスト）の友人Chris BranがBBC 3で脚本を書いているというコメディ番組「This is Jinsy」、Giles Borg（脚本・監督）の映画「1 2 3 4」を紹介しています。

Giles Borgはバンドとも昔からの友達で、彼の制作したthe CandyskinsのビデオにはColinが出演していたことも...。オックスフォードシーンでは一目置かれていた存在の彼が今回初の長編映画を制作し、Edはとても気に入ってる様子。映画は英国各地で近日公開だそうです。

※BBC iPlayerの方は、英国圏内でないと観れないようです。

Dead Air Space更新。Thomのコペンハーゲンサミットでのカナダへの批判と石油会社の株主の為のオフィス・チャート、EdのBBC 6 Musicの閉鎖に関して、BBC Trust宛に書いた文書など。

Edは6 Musicは第一に音楽を優先する唯一のラジオ局、特に貴重な局であること、閉鎖はミュージシャンや音楽業界人、本当の音楽ファン達にとってとてもショックな出来事であること、そしてJohn Peelの精神を生かし続けて欲しい等とも書き綴っています。

6 Music

Mark Thompson, Herr Director General of the BBC, announced yesterday that 6 music was to be closed ... which is obviously a ludicrous decision for those who actually love hearing great music on the radio ... so I've written to the BBC Trust, who apparently have the ability to reverse the decision, and if you feel this way inclined the link is https://consultations.external.bbc.co.uk/departments/bbc/bbc-strategy-review/consultation/consult_view
Here's what I wrote:

To whom it may concern,

I am writing regarding the news today that 6 Music is going to be closed, in the hope that you reconsider this decision. To be honest I, along with a vast number of other musicians, music industry types and real music fans, are completely shocked and baffled by this news. I wonder if those who made this decision are actually aware of the hugely important role that 6 music plays in fostering and promoting new bands, as well as still playing the likes of the band that I am in. It literally is the radio lifeblood for music outside of the mainstream. Not to denigrate Radio's 1 and 2, but it really is the only station that puts music first, and that's from a punters point of view and not some bloke in a band. Nowhere else can you hear an archived session track from T Rex juxtaposed next to Midlake's latest release. As David Bowie, put it ... it keeps the spirit of John Peel alive.

Please realise the impact and severity of closing this station down. It will be a huge blow for new bands and their labels. It's not enough to 'refocus' Radio's 1 and 2 as 6 music does a very specific thing. What you have with 6 Music is a gem of a radio station, it is doing what no other station in the world does or can possibly do. Remember it is also still relatively young, give it time. You also finally have a fantastic and seemingly settled line up of DJ's. Please get behind it and from what I can gather about it's annual budget of £6m, it surely punches way above it's weight in terms of cultural relevance and importance.

Thank you for considering this.

.....BBCは現在経営戦略見直しで、ウェブサイトの縮小や予算の縮小、スタッフ削減を行っているらしいのですが、この影響がBBC 6 Musicの閉鎖にまで。
BBC 6 Musicの閉鎖は音楽好きにはとてもショックなニュース。Radiohead、そしてファンもお世話になってる局。
閉鎖反対の署名も行っており、Radioheadファン、そしてスタッフ関係者も署名へのリンクを貼るなどFacebookでもかなりの話題になっています。アカウントを持ってる人はこちらも参照：http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=278123313911

sticky Tar Chart rant
so yes rumour has it that the canadians came to the copenhagen summit demanding to increase their co2 emmissions.
principally cuz of the tar sands and how much money the faceless motherfuckers in the oil industry stand to make out of it.. who are obviously bankrolling the government there.
i find it hard to correlate this all with the canadians i know who are very forward thinking..
the frightening thing about it is that just such a project could send the climate over the tipping point.
here's a link.. but just google if you wanna know more

people and planet on tar sands

....i try to imagine what it must be like to work in the political lobby office of BP or whatever (ok not often).. must be nice to not give a shit... i've met some people involved in the oil industry they seem nice enough... u know..
but hey, they might cry, were all answerable to the shareholders..
err hang on isnt that most of us? pension funds etc? tricky. but then again not really. what use is a fuckin pension when there aint nowhere to live?

「噂によれば、カナダ人は彼らのCO2排出量を増やす事を要求するためにコペンハーゲン・サミットに来たんだとか。
主に石油産業の顔のないクソ野郎がタールサンドとそれで稼ぎ出される多くの金を守る為...明らかに政府はそこに資金をつぎ込んでるからな。
自分が知るかぎり、先取りする考え方をもつカナダ人とこれらすべてを関連付けるのは難しいことだとわかってる...それについて恐ろしいことは、まさしくそんなプロジェクトが気候を臨界点上に向かわせてしまえるということだ。
リンクはここ...なんだけど、もっと知りたいならGoogleで。

...議員とかそれに関する政治団体のオフィスで働くのがどのようなものなのか想像してみたり（ok、めったにしないけど）...気にしなきゃいんだけど...石油産業関係者に会うと、彼らが素晴らしく見えたり...わかるだろ...
でもほら、彼らは叫ぶかもしれない、すべての株主に対して責任がある...
あーちょっと待った..俺たちの多くはそうじゃないか？年金基金とか？慎重に。とはいいつつ、そうでもない。生きる場所がないって時にそのクソ年金をどう使うってんだ？ 」
