Rejoice!

They just announced that after the BBC Trust's consultation period, common sense has prevailed, and 6Music is not closing.

Now I'm relieved because it'd be a bit daft spending all that money on a DAB radio just to listen to Radio 4, Radio 2 (occasionally), 5 Live (rarely), and Radio 1 (almost never), which are all on FM anyway.

In other music-related news, wifey has demanded I buy her the first four Mike Oldfield albums, which remind her of her lost youth. I remember quite liking them, but time will tell how much time has told. I have a feeling they are going to sound quite dated.

Tour update: Arms Legstrong had a good prologue and is high up the order; Bert the Accountant (Alberto Contador to you) is also doing well; Manxman Mark Cavendish fell on his arse yesterday, and our man Wiggins is nowhere.
