Sweet Oblivion: Elbow: Other Voices TV Program

Elbow performed on the Other Voices TV show in February 2006 while promoting their 2005 release, Leaders Of The Free World, and I found a stream of the show online. Here's the mp3 version of the audio stream. Tragically, the producers of the show decided it was a good idea to chop up the first song, "The Stops". The program started with an acoustic performance of the song on a beach, then cuts into an interview, then cuts back to the in-studio performance of the song, and finishes with a bit more of an interview. Why do producers of music TV shows almost always find it necessary to butcher the music on their shows?!? It's a question for the ages...
