THE SOUND OF MUSIC COMES TO LIFE: bernieworld.podomatic.com

Bernie Connor has been a disc –jockey for most of his life. As far as the eye can see, as loud as the ears can take. In an age and a space when ‘playing records’ was as fashionable and respected as bingo calling, Bernie Connor stood his ground and saw fashion, genre and sub-genre come and go. Based on the theory that he was right and everybody else would just have to catch up, bernie connor stuck to his policy of playing popular and unpopular music, oftenat the same time. Having flirted with the outer-edges of modern music for almost a generation, across three continents, in colour and in black and white, bernie connor played himself almost to death, in 2008, bernie connor –again based on the assumption that he is always right- came up with a novel new theory about the history of pop –past, present and future- and ran with it. The result is bernie connor presents the sound of music, a weekly podcast that trawls the outer edges of pop and all its idiot children and condenses it into ninety of the best genre-busting, ear-popping music filled minutes anywhere on the globe. This will be Bernie Connor’s first trip to the white island for many years and for the occasion will be accompanied by his full sound of music support team: ‘that’ billy cox, mighty young joe, digga lines and the children of neverland. he said, something like, in the future, maybe tomorrow, next week, all music will be listened to this way. The children of neverland clapped and cheered. when we could translate what they were saying, they were saying, ‘bernard, you’re the boy.’
