Basie, how low can you go

If you’d like to hear Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler talk about Count Basie’s influence on Sabbath, and some other stuff about ‘metal’, then you could do much worse than going round to their houses and asking listening to this documentary from Radio 4 – Metal at 40.

Link comes from the brill Speechification blog, who point out all the little speech-based gems you may have missed on the radio. They also have a MP3 of the programme to download.

  1. Birmingham: It's Not Shit loves Birmingham, its people, arts, animals, buildings, parks, grass verges, factories and bus stops. We've even got a soft spot for the Black Country.

    B:iNS runs The Brummie of the Year Award, Talk Like a Brummie Day and organises odd stuff like spending all day on the eleven bus.

    BiNS is mostly by Jon Bounds, a Birmingham based social web consultant, producer and writer. You can hire him to work on your stuff, or follow him on twitter. There's also stuff from Danny Smith and Karen Strunks.

    Feel free to send us anything you're interested in - or think we might be.
    If you've got gigs to promote, best to chuck them on the talk board.
