Synopsis:
Since 1978, indie label Rough Trade has been backing ground-breaking artists of every sensibility. From the post-punk girls who sound like they've been overheard singing to themselves at a bus stop, to the raw rock'n'roll of the Strokes and the Libertines, this compilation of BBC performances draws together some of the music that has made Rough Trade the institution it is.

Includes the Smiths, Robert Wyatt, Violent Femmes, Pulp and Antony and the Johnsons.

This was absolutely class, as soon as i saw Alison Statton's face i knew it would be great. That Mazzy Star song was incredible and i actually go to lengths to avoid that Anthony and the Johnstons song because it makes me well up.

Got the compilation on now, some great stuff, most of it i've never heard of which is always good

The Night James Brown Saved Boston

21:15 on BBC Four

April 5th 1968, the morning after one of the most catastrophic moments in American history - the assassination of Martin Luther King. America's inner cities had begun to implode and in Boston there is a fragile peace.

The mayor of Boston is about to cancel a long-scheduled James Brown concert to avoid confrontation - a potentially incendiary move - but after warnings he has a change of heart and asks if there is 'something James Brown can do to help'.

This documentary tells the story of that amazing night and features rarely-seen footage of the Godfather of Soul's concert plus personal reminiscences from those in attendance.

Starting now so be quick, although there's a repeat later at 1.15 am.

Looks like it could be interesting

I will catch the repeat and set the digibox. Cool heads up.

If anyone has sky arts then tonight we have a documentary on Philip Glass (looking forward to this) at 9.00 pm followed by Thin Lizzy's classic live show at the Rainbow in '78 which I watched last week and might do again!

This isn't fair! Why can't I get good channels like that over here? We have MTV, which apparently "returned to its roots of music videos" by airing music videos weeknights from like 2 to 6 or something and VH1. All crap. The only half decent music TV we have is an HD channel that occasionally has good live concerts on. But not often.
