NZ + Having a female prime minister = FAIL!

Helen Clark was a MAN

Our new PM is much better.

Isn't it grand how we can come to JFF and take the piss outta anyone we like even if we don't know them from the proverbial bar of saop ...all in jest of course ...of course

Well, most of the JFF regulars know each other to a fairly decent extent because this is what happens here most days.

Anyway, JFF is the jungle of PA, and if you can't hack it in the jungle, go and play with the the kiddies in the Prog Lounge.

T.Rox, your member profile says you have a prog rock community radio channel.

Where does it play?

Was a while back young whipper snapper. I used to do a number so shows on 105.5 RoxFM in Roxby Downs in SA, one specifically about prog rock. Then I moved to Newman in the North West of WA where I was on 6NEW 92.9 FM doing the same thing.

Since I have moved to Perth there has been precious little opportunity for Community Radio, and what there was was simply helping out in an established programme so I have really drifted away from the radio. I do miss it, though.

I did get some opportunities to really push prog rock. I used to play a 15 minute plus song every hour to air a few epics. I have done specials where I have played complete albums ...TAAB, Autobahn, Journey To The Centre Of The Earth, War Of The Worlds & Relayer are some that come to mind. I did a huge Pink Floyd special one night where I played all of DSOTH, WYWH & Animals, and at least one track from just about every PF album, including Echoes from Meddle.

...this is one of my 'back in the day' experiences!

If you ever get the chance to be involved with community radio where you have a bit of control over your programme go for it. It is a heap of fun and you get to tell the world (albeit limited to where you broadcast) about the music you love!

I live in Canberra, and we have absolutely crap radio here. And crap weather

I will be in Canberra in March (I think) for the ACT BMX State Titles in my daughter's prep for National & World BMX Titles.

I made the mistake in promising if she ranked in the top 8 in the World in her age group on her 20" bike in Adelaide this year I would take her to South Africa for the 2010 Worlds ...she finished No.6 in the World!

Happy ...but it's gonna be expensive in 2010!
