It is (in Australasia at least) the first Friday of the new month, so the time-honoured question rolls round again – what have you been listening to / reading / watching – and otherwise enjoying ? And is there anything else you would like to share?
(This is an open invitation to one and all, it is lovely to see the regular contributors pop in to this virtual pub, and it is always interesting to hear from new visitors)

I thought it might be worth running this again – we got some cracking entries last time.

It is the first Friday of the new month – the sun is shining, today, leading me to hope that we may escape the permanent November that summer may be approaching at last.
So – what have you been listening to / reading / watching – and otherwise enjoying ?

I liked this when it was released earlier this year. I haven’t been enraptured by what I have heard of Michael Buble’s other work, but this is just soulful joy. It was on the radio again last night and I really enjoyed hearing it – Van Morrison with Michael Buble, Real Real Gone.
What’s the best thing you’ve heard all month?

Today I downloaded a YouTube video of (what I think is) a 1964 BBC Horizon broadcast of Arthur C Clarke, stripped the audio and cut it up for use in a track I’d put together. It’s all complete and I’ve uploaded it to SoundCloud.
Essentially, it’s my cackhanded take on the Public Service Broadcasting idea.
While I anticipate that only a few people are likely to feel obligated to show any interest in it, and while I strongly doubt there’s much possibility of anyone that matters caring that much, is anyone here able to point me in the direction of any good advice in respect of the sampling of non-musical audio from a TV recording? I can find lots about the legality of sampling, but it’s all musical stuff.
