The other thing with a 1 hour Wire - a lot more pre-recorded interviews, when the guest you want is only available at 1.10pm (for example), not within your tidy hour slot.
And if they really are chopping out the music, when is the host meant to get a breather from the previous interview, refocus, and get ready for the next? During an ad break?

I'm impressed by how prescient McLaren was about the music industry - thanks, Russell.
Sacha beat me to it, but yeah, what he said. Swap out a few words here and there for "digital downloads" and he could have said it yesterday.
@philipA tendency by those in that industry to be very smug and un-selfexamining doesn't help either.
We smugly and un-selfexaminingly eat kittens too.

Mate, I was on The Pixies.
You're lucky Greg, you narrowly escaped the overexcited man-hugs I was inflicting on wife, friends, and casual acquaintances post-curtain.
Magic show (not in a David Lovering, Science Magician way) and the consummation of an affair that began in the Tikipunga High School art room a very, very long time ago with Vicki Graham's well-worn Surfer Rosa cassette.
Best birthday present ever.
