  • Please stop the backing music

    All the Mexican guitar etc is just so annoyingly incongruous and distracting when you’re trying to listen to a technical-ish explanation.

    And all the musical transitions are too much, if you’ve got an ad break ok and intro or exit music, all fine. Any more than that just no. No.
