Yeah, I got timeouts on the HQ links as well. The standard quality ones work fine for me, and I suppose the performance will pick up as well as soon as the initial hype dies down.

My flatmate was at the Bloc Party gig and said it was absolutely phemomenal. They had an amazing choir up behind the band but initially no one could tell where the voices were coming from.

Don't forget the mad Japanese jazzers Soil and "Pimp"Sessions (though with the execrable Jamie Cullum)

Nice. I've been watching Battles and Sigur Rós on BBCi (on my TV, old school) and they were both brilliant.

This is the kind of stuff that justifies the licence fee.
