No Music Day

Jeff Zycinski | 10:25 UK time, Wednesday, 21 November 2007

I was interviewed by Radio Norway yesterday about our participation in . We've also featured in the New York Times and, if you do a quick Google search, you'll see the project pop up in around the world.

Not our idea, of course. It was the brainchild of KLF frontman Bill Drummond and we were persuaded to take part because this year we've been celebrating Scotland's Music 07 with special programmes and outisde broadcasts from all over the country.

³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio Scotland strives to support live music as much as possible and our playlist is certainly different from commercial radio.

But we agreed with Bill that music is something you can easily take for granted.
It'[s become a cheap, downloadable commodity and it's something you appreciate much more when you have to live without it - even for a day.

On Radio Norway yesterday, the presenter asked me what reaction I would expect from the audience.

"Well normally we don't like to upset our listeners, " I said, "but in this case I will be disappointed if some are not outraged."

Are you?
