  Named One of the Best Books of 2011 by NPR – Spin - USA Today – CNBC - Pitchfork - The Onion - The Atlantic - The Huffington Post – VEVO - The Boston Globe - The San Francisco Chronicle 
   
  For fans of VJ: The Unplugged Adventures of MTV's First Wave 
   
  Remember the first time you saw Michael Jackson dance with zombies in "Thriller"? Diamond Dave karate kick with Van Halen in "Jump"? Tawny Kitaen turning cartwheels on a Jaguar to Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again"? The Beastie Boys spray beer in "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party)"? Axl Rose step off the bus in "Welcome to the Jungle"? 
   
  Remember When All You Wanted Was Your MTV? 
   
  It was a pretty radical idea-a channel for teenagers, showing nothing but music videos. It was such a radical idea that almost no one thought it would actually succeed, much less become a force in the worlds of music, television, film, fashion, sports, and even politics. But it did work. MTV became more than anyone had ever imagined. 
   
  I Want My MTV tells the story of the first decade of MTV, the golden era when MTV's programming was all videos, all the time, and kids watched religiously to see their favorite bands, learn about new music, and have something to talk about at parties. From its start in 1981 with a small cache of videos by mostly unknown British new wave acts to the launch of the reality-television craze with The Real World in 1992, MTV grew into a tastemaker, a career maker, and a mammoth business. 
   
  Featuring interviews with nearly four hundred artists, directors, VJs, and television and music executives, I Want My MTV is a testament to the channel that changed popular culture forever.

  Crime is the dark side of civilisation.  The under belly of human failing and greed. 
  Within societies, down through the ages, it has appropriated its rules and taken what it wants by foul and unfair means. 
  ‘Crime Classics’ examines all manner of crimes and murders from the past.  It carefully recreates the complete crime through thorough and pains-taking research. The cases range from the assassinations of Lincoln and Julius Caesar to the more obscure, such as Bathsheba Spooner, who killed her husband Joshua in 1778 and became the first woman tried and executed in America. 
  Your host each week, is Mr. Thomas Hyland — ‘connoisseur of crime, student of violence, and teller of murders’ and played by Lou Merrill.

  Matisse

  “Fauvism is when there is a red,” said Henri Matisse concisely putting into words the most straightforward notion held of Fauvism. Matisse has in fact become Fauvism’s leader over the years as a result of his contemporaries and researchers persistently perpetuating such an idea. Consequently Matisse’s œuvre has been scoured through in a search for the ultimate Fauvist painting. Matisse never pretended or aspired to such a role, and on the question of what Fauvism represents in theory and in practice, he never came to a final conclusion. Matisse started to take lessons at the Académie Julian in 1891, working as a law tutor to help pay his way. In 1892 he abandoned Bouguereau’s totally uninspiring lessons and transferred to Gustave Moreau’s classes at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. During the evenings Matisse also attended classes in applied art and there he made friends with Albert Marquet, who soon also became a pupil of Moreau. It was at these classes that a group of artists came together and formed friendships that would endure all the trials and tribulations of their respective lives. This group consisted of the “Three M’s” – Matisse, Marquet and Manguin – as well as Georges Rouault, Charles Camoin and Louis Valtat. Working in Léon Bonnat’s studio, which was just across the corridor, was another future member, Othon Friesz. And he would later be joined by Raoul Dufy. In 1901 Matisse and his friends started to exhibit their work at the Salon des Indépendants and in Berthe Weill’s gallery. In 1903 they were involved in the founding of the Salon d’Automne, where two years later Vauxcelles would see their work and dub them “les fauves”. The Salon d’Automne scandal over Woman with a Hat in 1905 brought Matisse fame and glory at a time when the preceding generation of artists were only just beginning to receive theirs. Matisse, as a natural inheritor of the French tradition, showed himself more than respectful of his elders. Renoir, whom he often met whilst in the south in 1917-18, always remained a teacher figure for him. The paintings Matisse produced between 1897 and 1901 demonstrate the mastery of his predecessors’ techniques, from the Impressionists through to Cézanne. Matisse began this process around the time of Gustave Moreau’s death. Unlike Derain and Vlaminck he was never troubled by the “museum issue” since he learnt to appreciate exhibits and their influence under Moreau’s guidance. Fauvism shaped all Matisse’s creative work and he himself defined it so well as: “The courage to find the purity of means”.
