Last night heralded this year's BBC Radio 2 Awards , celebrating the last 12 months best of the folk music world.Veteran June Tabor swept the board and emerged as the best singer, singing the best traditional song, on the best album, with the best group, Oysterband. The album Ragged Kingdom, featuring Bonny Bunch Of Roses, is a revelation and a marvellous balance of the old and the new; a perfect example of how to bring traditional folk right up to date without going too far. And Tabor's voice just gets better with age. The Dubliners and Don McLean picked [...]

Durante este fin de semana, en una 'Radio 1 Session' para la BBC, James Blake (bajo su disfraz de Harmonimix) estrenó un remix del tema ' Left & Right' , original de D'Angelo . Probablemente el trabajo más interesante de Blake ha surgido de su concepto Harmonimix, donde toma canciones que le encantan y las funde en nuevas estructuras rítmicas y armónicas, a veces añadiendo al tema original capas de su propia voz distorsionada. Es un truco que usó muy bien para lograr líneas vocales casi terroríficas en su versión de 'Bills Bills Bills' original de [...]

Depending on which DJ you believe this week/month/weekend is " Kraftwerk week/month/weekend" on that there BBC 6Music . They keep playing a trailer, which is of course in schoolboy German (it is on as I type!), that seems to suggest it begins on Thursday.

Though the information page hasn't been updated and gives details of a Lenny Kravtiz narrated [...]

The news is fucking depressing isn't it ? Cuts, cuts and yet more cuts and then when you think it can't possibly get any worse you observe the ghastly school matronly visage of The Daily Heil's Obergruppenführer, Melanie Phillips on BBC's Question Time, blithely lecturing us about what is right - "We should lay off the bankers, I really don't approve of this lynch mob mentality at all, instead it is right and correct to attack the real enemy within, I refer of course to the "undeserving poor".

The Sheffield lads hit up BBC's Live Lounge and performed a cover of fellow Brit Katy B's "Katy On A Mission". If that sounds like a very stange choice for a cover song, give a listen above, and you'll see that the Monkeys perfectly put their old shool guitar rock western vibe over proceedings. This would not sound out of place at all on Suck It and See . Well done. Arctic Monkeys - "Katy On A Mission" (Katy B Cover)

Elk jaar vraagt de BBC aan belangrijke mensen in het veld (DJ's enzo) wie ze denken dat er het komende jaar door gaat breken. De afgelopen jaren hebben ze vaak goede voorspellingen gedaan, zoals Ellie Goulding, Jessie J, Keane en 50 Cent. Hoewel het natuurlijk twee kanten op werkt en een soort self-fulfilling prophecy is, [...]

The electro pop duo stop by the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge.

These people definitely all attended a photo shoot to promote The Voice and in no way, shape or form have been cut and pasted. Helpfully, we've fixed it for them.

Ok so firstly two things to demonstrate how much I love this: a) usually I limit myself to one post a day so I don't burn all the stuff i find b) I really really need to be revising. But this needs to be heard. Originally broadcast in 2009 on BBC1Extra, this is an hour long mix celebrating hip hop since it's birth with Sugar Hill Gang. And what a journey it takes you on. It's nuts, you gotta listen to it from front to back. PARTY PEOPLE YOUR DREAM HAS NOW BEEN FULFILLED [...]
