Hello there,Ìý
We realise that this age of information overload, uncountable channel choice and digital distraction can only make it easier to miss out on the most interesting things in life.

With this in mind we thought we could help a little by distilling down the week's produce from Ö÷²¥´óÐã's One, Two, Three and Four into a best bits of Music TV listing on the Ö÷²¥´óÐã Music blog.

We'll post an update every Thursday, hopefully it can help you unearth some gems along the way.

2310 - 2400: The Man Who Recorded America - Jac Holzman's Elektra Records
Repeated: Ö÷²¥´óÐã Four - Sunday 2425
In the 1960s, a small indie label would conquer American music. With artists like The Doors, Love, Tim Buckley, The Incredible String Band and The Stooges, Elektra Records was consistently on the cutting edge, having built its name initially with folk revival artists like Judy Collins and Tom Paxton, signed out of Greenwich Village. Elektra was run by suave visionary Jac Holzman and this is his story. Featuring contributions from Jackson Browne, Iggy Pop, Judy Collins and choice Ö÷²¥´óÐã archive.Ìý

Sunday 24 October - Ö÷²¥´óÐã Four
2000 - 2100: Legends - Joan Sutherland - The Reluctant Prima Donna
Repeated: Ö÷²¥´óÐã Four - Tuesday 2530
Documentary about Dame Joan Sutherland, one of the greatest operatic performers of the late twentieth century, who died in October 2010. Shy and lacking in confidence, she had sung unnoticed at Covent Garden for seven years after arriving from Australia, but over the course of twelve months was transformed into La Stupenda. With a focus on the two roles - Lucia di Lammamoor and Alcina - that launched her, the film features interviews with Dame Joan, Richard Bonynge, Franco Zeffirelli, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti.
