The British are Coming
The BBC and Sirius have signed a deal for Sirius to air BBC's flagship pop and rock music station, BBC Radio 1. Pity they didn't do this back when John Peel was still alive; most of what airs on Radio 1 is crap compared to the World Service. (The report of this on Pitchfork Media's web site, where I first read the news, seems to lift a bunch of information straight from the web site of the Coalition to Save the BBC World Service, incidentally....)

What do you mean there is no cat?
"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."
- Albert Einstein, explaining radio
There used to be a cat
