New: My Whats On posts are available as a separate RSS Feed.
Here’s my take on the music highlights on cable this week, August 23-30. Yep, it’s subjective. But I try to be pretty inclusive. A glitch last week left PBS out of the schedule (including one of my favorite shows Austin City Limits), so it is back in this week. I extended the schedule thru Sunday. Next week, I’m adding in movies by and about bands. If I’m missing stuff, especially channels or regular shows, please let me know in the comments and I’ll consider adding them in.
