Ceefax music

[davy watts]

I've always wondered who writes, arranges, produces and performs the music played on Ceefax?

[????]

Paul Weller Davy. Yup, your modfather himself.

[*Bob*]

Ahhh.. ze music of ze night..

Sweet indeed. The 'holy grail' of television music. A single solid hour of turgid, pointless musical drivel on Ceefax or Nightscreen would net you a cool couple of grand in royalties.

Multiply up over the week and that could be ?10,000. A week. How do you like them apples?

[Huguenot]

That's how you pay for your broadband eh *Bob*?

When I'm reading my letters on Ceefax, I mute the TV and stream music from my N97, which I have side-loaded from my Airbook, running a fileshare to ceefax.msc/seed, which is free sourced out of a DRM-free collective in Helsinki.

So there's no way my license fees should be paying for *Bob*'s broadband, (and 19 Freeview boxes) as I'm not using the BBC's linear, outdated platform to access audio.

Alas, the Golden Goose of late-night blanket music has yet to nest chez *Bob*.

So - until my luck changes - I'm as outraged as you, Ted.

[Brendan]

Ceefax still exists. Well fancy that.

Who needs the interweb when you've got Ceefax? They've got everything on there, you know.

[davy watts]

Including the great music.

In other words Jeremy, the 'skinternet'.

[AlfieNoakes]

"The information super cul-de-sac"

I'm still a fan.
