There is a certain type of radio listener that gets very exercised about background music. They write to Radio 4's Feedback, using quills dipped in molten ear wax, to complain that the tunes on a documentary completely spoilt their appreciation of 2,000 Years of Prime Minister's Question Time, or Why Scientists Are Just as Interesting as Artists. No, Really, or whatever.

To be clear, I am not one of those people. For me, music is a life-enhancer. I'd be very happy to have most of my conversations punctuated by a quick blast of the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage". It would add thrills and I could get the kids' attention when I want it. »
