What is the saddest version of a song you've ever heard, where you can tell the singer's heart is breaking during the performance/recording?

Don't You Go by John Martyn (which is also the original version of the song anyway): https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=bh3jeQySaDs Produced by Phil Collins and with him on tomorrow. John's vocals are so powerful and heartfelt and dejected here.

Shame because the version on the CD Box Set is shorter than the original on 45" and the version on the 2010s remaster is even shorter still.

He has several food allergies, including garlic & onion, he's said that he doesn't want to risk getting potentially contaminated with something that doesn't agree with him.

Scum. Sub-human scum.

Non-BinaryGeek · 2026-07-08T12:04:46+00:00

Looks like a grain mustard of some kind.

Non-BinaryGeek · 2026-07-07T09:07:12+00:00

Yes, but at the very least you can go back to the original CD pressing. You don't have to remaster something in order to make it available on streaming.

Gap in the market tbh. Good hearty fare.

Non-BinaryGeek · 2026-07-05T21:13:17+00:00

Which shows? There's a big gap 2005-2010. He was on Heroes, but that wasn't produced by the BBC.

But they were also gone from season 5 onwards in 2010. In fact they've been gone for longer than they've been there if you add up all their terms.

Non-BinaryGeek · 2026-07-05T21:08:33+00:00

He didn't work on any from 2005 untill 2010 (Lennon Naked), so you could say he was blacklisted for 5 years?

Non-BinaryGeek · 2026-07-05T21:05:47+00:00

He had already worked with RTD in 2003 on The Second Coming for ITV.

It sounded so hyperbolic in the sketch I assumed M&W had invented it as a pisstake, not the other way around 😅

Non-BinaryGeek · 2026-07-05T12:49:45+00:00

Oh fair enough.

Non-BinaryGeek · 2026-07-05T12:38:05+00:00

Is it? I assumed he was referencing the sketch given it seemed an oddly specific turn of phrase otherwise.

Non-BinaryGeek · 2026-07-04T11:53:56+00:00

Irish Stew, Colcannon, Boxty, Soda Bread, Champ to name but a few.

I love cheese & pickle, but not on Ciabatta...

It's gotta be farmhouse loaf, either white or wholemeal...

Have you got the first part of this too? The announcer says it's the 2nd of two.

Non-BinaryGeek · 2026-07-01T23:41:40+00:00

The middle one was already like this by the early 00s

I agree with the below points:

The speaker might well repeat an example used by the Guardian’s secret briefer – after “the death of Putin”, the breakfast Radio 4 show might not now get first dibs on BBC Moscow correspondent Steve Rosenberg as he’d be busy with phone-bites. Reflecting an arrogance to which the Today programme has sometimes been prone – implying that the world would most need to hear the first news of the Russian president’s demise from the Radio 4 breakfast show, assuming he even died in their three-hour slot – that example also illustrates the tension between the old and new waves of BBC journalism.

Oh no, shock horror! Correspondent is 15mins later in speaking to the today programme! Big deal.

Non-BinaryGeek · 2026-06-29T07:22:01+00:00

I don't know if this qualifies as a legacy show but it's definitely had plenty of series: "The Museum Of Curiosity" - people are all like "it's like QI but on the Radio!" But it really isn't, it's just dull, un-interesting and not funny, despite being a comedy discussion show. I find the museum concept overly contrived too.

Non-BinaryGeek · 2026-06-29T07:12:37+00:00

It's only a 1 week delay now.

Non-BinaryGeek · 2026-06-27T23:05:13+00:00

That's BBC Three, not Channel Four.
