There is life out there


we don't have a television. But we do have a radio and CD player. We love radio. Even crappy radio can be entertaining (hey have a listen to 'love song dedications' one night after a glass of wine or two...)

I think that little O has benefited from not having a television - he's a really good dancer and his current favorite pastime is to play baaaaRRR-boooOOOm!!! off the couches (throw himself onto the couches with 'loud' sound affects). My hope is that he will be a very imaginative curious inventive kid.

2ser (107.3 FM) kicks butt! Where else can you listen to an ad free radio with both awesome things like radio lectures (where I have heard the likes or Roy and Tariq Ali) and great music...? Community based and run radio stations are damn hot.

Anyway all Kudos to 2ser who have through their member on air comps practically doubled our CD collection. Just this year we have won Gulag Orchestra, Jolie Holland, Dirty Three, Bonnie Prince Billy, Mward and more!

Also I hear the presenter of 2ser Thursday Breakfast is the hottest radio journo in town...

That Thursday morning presenter really is a star!

Anything you've learn't from the Ecoliving centre or inside goss from Christian Kerr would be well worth posting.

I have this Thursday morning off, might try to stream it.

But, how does he get away with Kate Bush on his playlist? Not sure about the music, but her bio is really intreguing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Bush

I saw that the Ecoliving permaculture garden is about to be closed. Apparently too many 'unsupervised' volunteers in the garden!!! What do they think is going to happen? Organic tomatoes going to take over the uni?

Can Sydney's hottest radio journo enlighten us on what is going on? It seems absolutely ridiculous.

Rachel said...

oh wow I'll pass it on (you never know she may do a story on it...) that's crazy!

OK, so I excitedly got up to listen to 'Alex' via internet stream this Thursday morning at 6:30am on 2SER 107.3, and was surprised to find out that 'Alex' isn't your Alex at all. He's a girl!

Anyway, I still listened to almost the whole show and yes, it is really good.
