I understand that the debacle has been transmitted on the airwaves. Two questions:

1. Who is the eejit from Lancashire? If anybody knows let me know cos I am in his neck of the woods and I will have a word in his shell.

2. What frequency is Radio Bucharest on ?

As ma old pal Freddie Mercury once said to me :

All we hear is radio ga ga,Radio goo goo, radio ga ga,All we hear is radio ga ga,Radio blah blah,Radio what's new?,Oh, radio, someone still loves you.

Having bought music from abroad myself in the past (not romania though) i will say, a lot of the music can be surprisingly better than the p*** our charts produce even in the countrys native languages :003:

Amazingly the music appears to be catching on in the more civilised West. I may get some CD's.  :001:

From TIME magazine:

And so it goes with Taraf de Ha?douks, or "band of brigands," a Romanian ***** group that has won praise from the late Yehudi Menuhin, modeled clothes for Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto and played Johnny Depp's Viper Club in L.A. Taraf's CD sales may still be modest, but their performances have won a cult following. And they are not alone.

***** music is stirring audiences around the world. Top bands from Central Europe are playing upwards of 100 foreign gigs a year. Filmmakers are hungry for their scores. Critics have likened the outpouring to the birth of jazz in the U.S. in the 1920s. Says Simon Broughton, co-editor of The Rough Guide to World Music: "The music does what music should do. It tears at your heartstrings and gets your blood racing."

Serbia's Goran Bregovic is considered a pioneer of the ***** music revival. Though not Roma himself, he scored Yugoslav director Emir Kusturica's 1989 film Time of the Gypsies, which critics consider a seminal work that did for ***** music what the cult classic The Harder They Come did for reggae. Bregovic is still touring with his Wedding and Funeral Band. Interviewed by Time in Belgrade, he said he thought ***** music's growing popularity in the West had as much to do with image ? and imagination ? as music. The Roma, he says, are "Europe's cowboys." In a rule-bound world, they have come to symbolize "a special sense of freedom" and "this special talent of dying for friendship and love. Everyone wants to be a ***** for a day."

Glad this is off the main board as we can now talk sweet music. I feckin like it personally - click into the link and have a wee listen.

My friends have also encouraged me to catch the latest film -

The Buena Vista Social Club for ***** music. It captures the spirit of an amazing musical culture and the heart of the musicians and singers who express it."

- Cinematic Intelligence Agency

A dazzling display of the musical world of the Roma, juxtaposed to the real world they live in. This rich feature documentary celebrates the luscious music of top international ***** performers and interweaves stirring real life tales of their home life and social background. Shot by documentary icon Albert Maysles, the film takes place on location in Spain, Macedonia, Romania and India, as well as in Europe and in the USA during the ***** Caravan concert tour created by World Music Institute. Starring musicians from FANFARE CIOCARLIA, TARAF DE HAIDOUKS, MAHARAJA, ANTONIO EL PIPA & ESMA REDZEPOVA. Film directed and produced by Jasmine Dellal whose recent feature, AMERICAN *****, won international acclaim for its portrait of an American Romani family battling a decade of drama.

"Across the globe, ***** music rears its melodious head, from Romania to Spain to Macedonia to India... featuring fierce fans of the form (including Johnny Depp), the film is a gorgeous surround-sound celebration of misery and oppression turned into music."
