Presumably.

One post and no grand-standing doesn't seem like him though. Asking questions even - rather than just telling us how it is.

We'll see.

James Freud, lead singer with 80s band Models, found dead in Melbourne
In those days I was a sales rep with a company car and the only FM stations I could get in the company car in Brisbane were FM 104 (later tripleM ) , ABC classic music and later the Js and the Zs - yes less than 30 years ago, you would tune into Fm and there was FcK all.

Anyway 104 was good and had a good spread of pop and rock music but within a few months for some reason they totally swung to music that suited crusty footed barefoot guys driving Toranas with a black T shirt with a pack of Winnie Blues shoved up the sleeve, stonewash jeans ( wiki them it it's before your time) and every every song was the stupid Models.

The new 105 started up and became the station that 104 used to be, then they merged to become the same company.

I don't have a radio any more so don't G.A.F.

:icon_cheers:

does anyone still listen to radio anyway? I mean on what device they listen to it? I download ABC podcasts and listen on the train but what is all this shit you see on posters at the train station showing an ugly looking breakfast crew who crap on about crap between songs: "fred and anna and willie in the cage this morning " shows, do people still have ghetto blasters on their kitchen counter, or do they listen to them in their cars? I went out to buy a radio a year ago for the house and they don't seem to be around any more. :unsure:

Radio: the new Kodak

end rant.

Not me, I also despise the DJ's rattling on, even on JJJ. Instead I trawl through music mags such as Uncut, Mojo, NME and Rolling Stone etc, read the album reviews and download what sounds interesting. Mostly the albums get deleted, but if there are standouts I'll buy the CD. Not in any sense of doing the right thing, but I prefer the sound quality of the originals. Tend to commit to buying any australian artists material that I am interested in though. Lately its been Tame Impala & Wolfmother getting me interested in current music again.

Still listen to the radio, but will agree on the dj's spouting crap gets annoying real quick.I know you can still buy those little box radios sometimes but just get yourself a massive cd player with some decent speakers. problem solved.

On the job site, I'm forced to listen to the radio. MMM has been replaced by Nova as the tradies station of choice. I'm not sure which is the greater evil but either way, I feel both are taking days off my life due to the anxiety created in having to listen to that crap. Now and then, if the situation is right and its a site full of people I can push around, I'll break out my little cube stereo and plug in my phone. I've found its best not to be to antagonising with straight up grind or hardcore, what works better is to play stuff from the 60's or 70's that they would like if only they knew who it was (if it was played on mmm maybe). The first Stooges album works a treat.

If the same songs over and over don't kill you, the erectile disfunction, last longer etc ads will :angry: . I listen to podcasts like Sunday night Saffran with Fr Bob, (I aint religious but I reckon Bob is a good bloke), or talking books, really gives you something to look forward to in the car on the way to work.

Saffran & Father Bob are pretty interesting. Used to think they were boring, but on bottling night it keeps my mind occupied.

Since retiring my little old imac I now have a PC (free from work). I used to use Acquisition on the mac to download music from the net. What programs are there for PC's?

iTunes?

Have fun with P2P at the moment - a lot of the better software protocols are being closely monitored (well, the unencrypted stuff is).
