Story2
When we think of rock stars, we are entrained to think of them as having come from regular, working-class backgrounds, and having worked their way up the slippery pole to success through hard work and talent alone. The reality is that all household name musicians are selected for success. Barely a plumber in sight. But no shortage of generals, admirals, politicians, civil servants and spies. Mark Devlin offers further evidence to show how the corporate music industry exists solely for the mind-control of the masses, with artists becoming little more than hand-picked puppets.

Story28
In this major BBC Radio 4 series, James Naughtie uncovers the roots of our music and reveals the soundtrack to our own history. The history of classical music is inextricably linked with the places it was written, its purpose and its patrons as well as with politics, war and social change. From the earliest music of the monasteries to the court and church music of the Renaissance and Reformation and beyond, composers have always changed with the times.

I Would Die 4 U

Story7
Drawing on new research and enlivened by Touré's unique pop-cultural fluency, I Would Die 4 U relies on surprising and in-depth interviews with Prince's band members, former girlfriends, musicologists, and even Bible scholars to deconstruct the artist's life and work. Prince's baby boomer status allowed him to play a wise older brother to the latchkey kids of Generation X. Defying traditional categories of race, gender, and sexuality, he nonetheless presented a very traditional conception of religion and God in his music.

I episode 4 af "Historien om Malurt" skal du høre om, hvordan Malurt så småt bliver et etableret undergrundsband, og om da de indspiller deres første plade Kold krig i det legendariske Sweet Silence studie på Christianshavn i København. Hvordan blev Malurt til et af 1980'ernes mest toneangivende danske rockbands? Fortællingen begynder i den sønderjyske by Tønder, hvor de to knægte Michael Falch og Christian Arendt møder hinanden. Det bliver de to, der sammen med guitaristen Peter Mors i 1977 i et øvelokale i Folkets Hus på Jagtvej 69 i København danner Malurt.
