Andrew at Parlogram Auctions has an appreciation of one of my all-time favorite albums, the absolutely superb Odessey and Oracle by the Zombies.

Taking the Fat Out of Music
If you look carefully at record labels, many have the letters BMI.
BMI is Broadcast Music, Inc., a music licensing company. Founded in 1939, BMI was acquired this year by New Mountain Capital, a private equity firm.
BMI is also widely known as body mass index. An article in MIT Technology Review suggests that BMI should be replaced with another measurement — SAD, sagittal abdominal diameter.
Perhaps under its new ownership, BMI will develop a method for measuring the fat content in music.

Beeb Beethoven
Excellent listening from BBC Radio 3. This programme should be available for another few weeks. The piano concerto was performed on a period instrument, like those that Beethoven heard… while he could still hear.
