Can't be seen in my territory -how disappointing, I like what little I've seen of Elbow. Will have to have a look on Youtube.

Meantime in Italy they are driving us mad with the European Football theme still

Accrington's favourite musical son Jon Anderson has also created his own homage to the Olympics, featuring the Chariots Of Fire tune made famous by his frequent conspirator Vangelis.

This is my own Olympics theme - done on my Yamaha keyboard then straight onto my computer. Inspired by the Olympics...put to this footage of the Torch Relay through London - I was there (by accident) when the guy with the prosthetic limb was holding the torch.

That was done on one keyboard a Yamaha DJX - can record 6 instruments in layers, it's a good little keyboard and more power than what the Beatles recorded on in the early days. But you can't see what you've done afterwards and edit it, which you can do if your recording on a computer. Most music today is recorded using computers which means you don't have to play a piece all the way through but can do bits then cut and paste to build up the track. Also you can edit out mistakes, often without having to play it again.

That track was totally created from the Olympics it wasn't something I'd been toying with before that. It's good fun doing it anyways - and glad you like it.
