- a decent weekly/bi-weekly programme on "youth music" on BBC2. Outside of "Top of the Pops/Jools Hooland" land - ie a slight alternative view on music from dubstep to punkblues to modern jazz to grime to deathmetal and dance etc.
- they've done the Beethoven download MP3 series and are to embark on a Bach one soon (mentioned in a sidenote in the Evening Standard yesterday) - let's have a full-on history of 20th Century classic music series as MP3 download. As full as copyright law can take us (with 50 years copyright (?) that will takes us to 1955 and I am sure some modern day composers will be happy to "donate" pieces for such a series. Similar to the stuff the Beeb sometimes do on BBC4.
I suspect there are a few people on this list who have a bit of modern classical stuff as a tangent to an interest in electronic music (going to the roots etc) but would like to know more (I know there are experts on this matter writing here - but I assume there might be a few people like myself with just the odd Varese or Nordheim record in their collection).
So please Auntie, let's have a 6 or 12 part series on 20th Century classic downloadable as MP3s.
