émissions du 28 février et du 6 mars 2008

Si vous êtes un auditeur attentif, vous aurez sans doute noté que les deux dernières émissions de Haute Fidélité étaient des rediffusions.

Votre animatrice ayant été très malade (lire occupée à se la couler douce en Floride et dans les Caraïbes), elle a dû s'absenter.

Par conséquent, vous avez entendu le 28 février une reprise de l'émission du 14 février 2008, et le 6 mars une reprise de l'émission du 21 février 2008.

De retour derrière le micro pour du direct et des nouveautés musicales dès le 13 mars !

émission du 21 février 2008

L'édition qu'on écoute pour apprendre : 1) la valeur souvent sous-estimée du math rock (quoique les petites doses restent recommandées) ; 2) l'importance du silence en musique - voir le fameux negative space ; 3) le lien inébranlable unissant Glasgow aux racines du twee pop.
