We have had the first snows of the year here and it really is an amazing sight in a Winter WonderLand, even though it will probably be gone ... http://igotthemusic.com/design/winter-wonderland-for-santas-little-helper Bond is Back! Boy is Daniel Craig giving Sean Connery's 007 a run for his money. I said I was impressed with the Parkour sequence at the beginning of Casino Royale, and wasn't dissappointed with the opening car chase and the unexpected twists (no spoilers here!). I had a lot of hope ... http://igotthemusic.com/music/alicia-keys-jack-white-and-james-bonds-quantum What a great song - not the Will Smith version with the same name - the George Gershwin / DuBose Heyward / Ira Gershwin 1935 original. It comes from the 1935 musical Porgy and Bess. I love this song, it has so much in it and if you sing, you understand ... http://igotthemusic.com/i-got-the-music/summertime-and-the-living-is-easy So I got hooked yesterday setting up a YouTube Channel and watching the Parkour people running around! I think the best one I saw - more because it had a story with it was this Scottish one. I just think it was a great idea - playing 'it' or 'tag' around Glasgow. ... http://igotthemusic.com/i-got-the-music/ok-the-youtube-bug-got-me-yesterday-music-and-parkour Just a short note today - I keep trying to get myself into the routine of the blogosphere, even though the weather is gorgeous. Anyway saw a brilliant symbol at the airport and I tried to remember what I liked about it. I think it's just a friendly yellow, but I ... http://igotthemusic.com/i-got-the-music/short-and-sweet-a-picture-says-1000-words Yes, the weather is staying fine for the moment - and I'm loving that. The downside is I don't spend as much time at the computer - wait, that's an UPSIDE :-) I did spend some time reorganising the store so you can find things easier. Well, I've tried to reorganise the I've ... http://igotthemusic.com/i-got-the-music/its-pretty-cool-when-its-hot-hello-flags-and-anthems Wow. I just got hooked on watching some guys running through the 'urban furniture', things like benches, walls, buildings...and the gaps between them! I think they call it Parkour. You know the beginning scenes of Casino Royale where James Bond is chasing a guy through a construction site - that is ... http://igotthemusic.com/i-got-the-music/life-before-the-internet-would-you-be-climbing-walls-parkour-fashion-and-more Yes, Eurovision came and went, but how did Spain get any points with a song that relied more on hairstyles than music!? The Russians did well, but I think the song was alright, but was definitely improved by the Olympic ice skater... Not entirely sure, but does that mean that the visual ... http://igotthemusic.com/i-got-the-music/oh-lordi-whatever-happened-to-the-competition-in-eurovision Albania - Olta Boka - Zemren E Lame Peng Andorra - Gisela - Casanova Armenia - Sirusho - Qele Qele Azerbaijan - Elnur Huseynov feat.

The basic idea is this: Listeners recommend a local (unsigned) band for the station to review. The station then goes along to the gig and listens to the band playing live.
