The 100 Greatest BBC Musical Performances
I linked to this in the recent David Bowie post, but it’s worth pulling out separately: the 100 greatest BBC musical performances. This is an incredible trove of late 20th and early 21st century musical greatness. Some selections just off the top of my head:
Blondie – Atomic/Heart of Glass (The Old Grey Whistle Test, 1979):
‘It Snowballed:’ How a Knife Attack in Dublin Led to a Riot New York Times. I hate to point this out, but nowhere does the story say the rumor was untrue, that that the attacker was not an immigrant. Ditto Sky News (Dublin riots: Everything we know about the knife attack and police clashes) when it merely says that attack was stand-alone and not part of terrorist activity. Now it is correct that people should not rampage before someone has at least been charged. But the insinuation is that the rumors were false, as opposed to vigilantes should not try to usurp due process. After all, we in the US think it’s perfectly OK to destroy the careers of people merely accused of sexual misconduct, as opposed to waiting for the courts to do their work.
