Not taken too seriously I hope, but then I am a Grateful Dead fan, so I have to take it as well as give it..... *dirol*

It's on the YouTube if you really want to try before you buy.
Just think, though. If she cane be the most streamed artist (or was that GaGa?) and make just 8K, what it must be like for much smaller acts if you only ever streamed their music and never bought it.
Then again, I guess you're a buyer or you're not, so it's similar to all that "lost" revenue from people who download illegally and would never have paid anyway.

Music is not a matter of taste, it's a matter of education. I'm proud to be called a music snob. *yes3*

For Dave's education, Shania Twain & Alesha Dixon (Alesha was a judge on Strictly before Darcy). *bomb*
None of this I take seriously by the way. We do have quite a wide selection of 'popular music' left by my son and daughter that they collected as they were growing up. My son in particular was on Spotify very soon after it was launched and it is, along with You tube an important part of his life, researching music for his vocational course and now in the early days of his career in the performing arts industry.
It's all a bit of fun to me, snobbery is part of life *smile*

I know what you mean, I do not really watch TV but I am guessing this is some wretched 'talent' show, so back in the real world a fair few conversations rather pass me by.

No Dave, now you're bullshitting, it is not possible to be a living, conscious person in this country without knowing what Strictly Come Dancing is. Furthermore, if you're as cultured and as educated as you try to make out then you should know exactly who Darcy Bussell is.

Just goes to show how different our lives can be and what's real - in our case that 'entertainment' world is very real as it is all part of my son's career. *smile*
To be quite honest I have heard of Strictly Come Dancing, it gets a mention on TMS from time to time. Since we were talking music (of a sort) I kind of assumed that there was a spinoff, 'Strictly can't sing', or something like that. I have zero interest in any such programs.
Darcey Bussell is of course known to me though ballet is really not my thing, Darcy on the other hand could be any of the myriad of currently popular female warblers that I do my best to ignore.
I am though quite a fan of someone who Mrs DDC refers to as 'the head girl', Hannah Reid is really rather good, though not quite as much to my taste as distant relatives Jimmy and William Reid.

More clarity needed, surprisingly I can not read the text (urdu? Farsi?) and I have no idea who the lady is.
Does she sing or dance?

So, the text is an old family recipe for lemon drizzle cake?
Seriously, I really do not watch television bar the ocasional music or sports event. Of course I have heard of some of these programs but I don't ever watch them. I do not buy mainstream newspapers or magazines either so much of the celebrity/gossip passes me by too.

The primary reason I do not watch television is because I am out rather a lot. Despite my not so tender years, I still get to a few gigs and the occasional classical concert.
I think a better definition of a Hermit is someone who stays in his cave all day having his/her brain rotted by the corrosive bilge that passes for mainstream 'entertainment'.

Oh right – just as long as you're not taking yourself far too seriously or anything! ;-)

Still interested in the earlier recipe for lemon drizzle cake if someone can do a translation.

I read that its sold 800,000 copies in the UK in the last week and 3 million copies in the US. I think the phrase "making hay while the sun shines" may be appropriate.

(Although I realise there is a high probability that davedotco will now respond with an explanation of how he really was the sixth Beatle.)
