More on David Raven and podcasts...

Re: Congratulations! And I listen to BFBS 2 myself Posted By: A Date: 3/1/08 15:57:45 GMT

In Response To: Congratulations! And I listen to BFBS 2 myself! [sort of] (Chicagoland Chuck Maddox)

Main reason I listen to BFBS 2 is:

- they play a lot of "old school" electronic music from the early time (1985-1995).

New Age? Ambient? Space Music?

Those are all forms of music I listen to a lot via Podcasts. You can subscribe to them [via Apple's iTunes - for FREE] from the iTunes program [also a free download]. Just click on iTunes Store, then Podcasts and do some searches. Here's a screen snap of some of the podcasts I subscribe to:

a pitty is, that they never have any playlist available online and never react to any mails requesting song details...

Interestingly enough, David Raven provides tracklists and links to where you can buy CD's [in most instances] going back to January 2001 on his BFBS website:
BFBS Radio 2: The Raven 'n' the Blues:

Perhaps you can enlist his aid, or seek to have your BFBS program made available via a Podcast too.

On a related note. David Raven suffered a mild stroke in December and has been recovering ever since. He's been in fine voice the last several shows though so I would ask you not put too much on his lap.

Yes this volo is nice too: but will not catch the 4,9 seconds from 0-100 km/h.....

I think short of droping an American V-8 under the hood, or droping the 1800ES off of a cliff it won't reach 0-60 or even 0-100kph anywhere near the 5 second mark.

(compare

porsche 996 carrera: 5,4 seconds;

porsche 996 carrera 4: 5,0 seconds;

porsche 997 carrera: 5,1 seconds;

porsche 997 carrera 4: 4,8 seconds)

pitty BMW is limiting at 250 km/h: already the "normal 3.0 liter non M- engine is 300+)

But then again the 1800ES was a different car, built for a different purpose in a different era [35 years ago]. It's a damn shame that they only made 8,000 of the 1800ES's. It was a beautiful design.

Congrats again on your new "mode"!
