This Week's Music for Grown-Ups on Radio/TV

Your exclusive listening/watching guide … thanks to compiler Mike Ollier:


Radio For Grown-Ups

Weds BBCR2 22.00 ~ 23.00
* Charles Hazlewood (6 of 6)

Fri BBCR6 21.00 ~ 22.00
* Theme Time Radio Hour with Bob Dylan: Friends and Neighbours
I'm reeling in shock as the BBC website actually updates … Bob plays Marilyn Monroe, Carole King and Howlin Wolf amongst others. You can't accuse the man of having narrow musical taste, can you?

Fri BBC3 22.30 ~ 23.30
* Jazz Library: Cab Calloway

Fri BBC3 23.30 ~ 01.00
* Jazz On 3
Tyft, featuring Hilmar Jensson, Andrew D'Angelo and Jim Black.

Sat BBCR2 20.00 ~ 21.00
* Theme Time Radio Hour with Bob Dylan: Dogs
It's holiday time and so R2 roll out the Sideshow Bob theme time hours ~ result! Another 5 to follow this over Xmas … details next column.


TV For Grown-Ups

Mon C4 22.00 ~ 23.55
* Film: O Brother Where Art Thou?
The Coen Brothers very funny adaptation of Homer's Odyssey with one of the finest soundtracks assembled for a movie.


Otherwise, it's DVDs this week if you wanna see music, cos there's bog all on the telly. And it's not just music: the only thing I can muster up any enthusiasm for is my Man Of The Year, Charlie Brooker with a Screen Wipe review of the year’s TV on BBC4 on Wednesday evening. Expect to laugh.
