That Public Enemy track is fantastic. Thanks Russell.

Last night. Two of four family members out. The other at the far end of the house, door shut.

Dad tidies the kitchen. And plays that track LOUDLY AND REPEATEDLY.

Hi Matthew

Two great picks there. I'm a big fan of Mr Holmes from way back. I hadn't picked this up during the Opening Ceremony so thanks for that.

Danny Boyle's opening ceremony was heartwarming and mad

There's probably little more that can be written about the opening ceremony, which inspired some great commentary-- Roger Ebert's being one of the most perceptive about its artistry and appeal for "foreigners"-- but it really did set the tone for the rest…

With the Only Ones I look at it that they have in their own way outslasted lots of preforming monkeys sellings budget cans of spaghetti.so lengthly periods of artistic introspection are OK by me.

And OT, but not quite OT... Pussy Riot have been officially convicted on 'hooliganism' charges. Goes to show Vladimir Putin is a tsar by another name.

I would say the Olympic closing ceremony was awful, but I feel I shouldn't comment because I didn't watch the whole thing. We were in a B&B in Lancashire, and I'd hoped that maybe the bad sound mixing was just the TV's sound quality, but clearly it wasn't. I wanted to…

Somehow I went from the Only Ones, to John Peel's Festive Fifty to this, which is new to me, and I liked it. Mainly for the drumming. That formerly dark-and-dangerous looker in the Scotland shirt is a cautionary tale:

I find “the Only Ones” articulate both muscially and personally – they are the genuine article (and wouldn’t lip sync anything).

And they have a good base of fans who think likewise. An old friend of mine in London has followed Peter Perrett from the beginning. Which I imagine at…

I saw them attempt it and it's just tragic. Drugs are bad mmkay?

The only ones are gigging, here they are in 2009 doing Another Girl Another Planet

Russell; I posted it elsewhere but have you seen the glowing review of Media 3, by Diana Wichtel in the latest Listener?

No! Fabulous.

the Only Ones' classic Another Girl, Another Planet – but how many of the audience would have got that?

Everyone – it's been used for a mobile network ad in the UK for years. Just as long as they didn't get the actual band to perform it – I saw…

Brotherly love still hasn't been resolved in the case of the Kinks either – Ray and Dave Davies. I don't believe they even acknowledge each other these days. A big falling out. Proceedings at the closing ceremony could have been seriously amped up by, say, the Only Ones' classic Another…

I saw Jed Town solo about three months ago, he was in really good form. Wore a balaclava for the first few songs, which I suppose was his way of showing support to Pussy Riot.

It was really odd how technically poor the closing was.

It's not like they didn't have the right gear...
To put this into perspective, the Vista 9 in the main gallery will provide 16 line inputs, 72 line outputs, 52 mic inputs (via RELINK sharing) with 112 AES…

Could that be because the broadcast was in “Stereo” and not 5.1 audio and so not producing a sub-woofer signal? or does your system use a left/right mix through a low pass filter to the sub?.

It defaults to all-channel stereo. But the opening ceremony sounded great. It was really…

I think the Perth clip is a little off for PA? It mightn’t be intended, but comes across as baiting a bloke who is probably in need of help.

I thought he seemed to be in on the joke when I watched it yesterday, but on reflection I've removed it.

Steve Barnes

I actually put my ear down to the subwoofer in the lounge on Monday morning and there was pretty much nothing coming through it.

Think at some point, a collection of the best remixes will need to be bundled together. Has been some absolutely fantastic ones.

Great idea.
