You never realise you're a wee bit addicted until it's gone. New work, no iplayer. Which means I can't do my weekly listen to Annie Mac's show. I want my dubstep and random dance music. The only podcast you can d/l sans iplayer is the ten minute submitted by others. :sulk: Hmp. anyone who has access to iplayer - does it let youi d/l the radio stuff same as it does the tv? I may have to resort to d/l ing it at home and bring it in on the mp3 player. Tried subfm as rec'd by Internet Jesus, but it's sloooooooooow. I require my beats to be faster, not bloody sending me to sleep. Especially not if the DJ's constantly going 'all right yeah coming to you from _insert random location_'. last.fm's bugger all help since it's constantly giving me stuff I can't stand. The 'ban this track' button doesn't work.

Exposure to new musicals tracks verdict :
Every Rent track it brings up I can't stand.
Les Mis is interesting.
Rocky Horror : er. what?
Assassins : HEE. also. what version is Neil Patrick Harris singing on?
HSM is clearly a poppy bouncy guilty pleasure. Um. I think I may need the cd. possibly even the dvd. Don't look at me like that.
:gulp: Tim Curry's voice is sexy enough. but. um. Singing Kurt Weill? :swallows: I'll be in my bunk. Right now.

Okay, The Wire is now getting intriguing....

You've never heard Les Mis and Rocky horror before?

Neil Patrick Harris is on the Broadway revival of Assassins - think its' around 2002. He plays the narrator/Lee Harvey Oswald.

my mates can't believe I've never seen Rocky Horror either. i remember watching late night when drunk once, but it never went in.

Les Mis I saw as a teen but didn't take the songs in, never listened properly.

Hmm. i may have to track said cd down.

my mates can't believe I've never seen Rocky Horror either.

It is pretty surprising; I tend to think of you as knowing every musical ever.

(And hey, polysexual aliens, kitsch, terrible jokes, a wafer-thin plot and a script littered with references to old sci-fi movies - what's not to like?

Not to mention Tim Curry and Susan Sarandon in the film. Oh yes.)

Admittedly, this is from a man who's only ever watched it on video and TV and is reluctant to go to the cinema because his wife will announce his virginity for all to hear.

Actually, if you remember, I was willing to go, but gold lame is really not me.

Call yourself a musicals fan. Honestly.

Assassins isn't immesnsely exciting is you're only interested in NPH - he's also in the recent revival of Sweeney Todd.

i download podcasts on itunes, haven't tried iplayer...that isn't really any help is it? :)
