i once spent a period of my life making some people thoroughly miserable via the medium of radio. the radio station i worked for was a brilliant idea, brilliant for liverpool anyway. the people who ran it were visionless morons who had no interest in music at all as far as i could tell, and very little discernable talent for anything else. the people who actually went on air and held themselves up for criticism/praise/humiliation were wonderful, bright, enthusiastic people, music fanatics who took a mountain of shit from these media charlatans on a minute by minute basis making their job unpleasant and tiresome when it should have been exciting and relevant. keeping a straight face was paramount and not succumbing to the anti-music rhetoric was an essential part of not going mad. it was an experiment. it left such a bad taste in my mouth that almost ten years later i'm only just being able to look at it with anything other than disdain.but i'm different now, of course.
new technology has afforded us the luxury of dispensing with these half-witted, cultural luddites and creating our own thing without pressure or interference from 'the man'. over the coming months we aim to bring you a weekly (maybe a bit ambitious) broadcast featuring music, movement, colour and light via the miracle of the electronic airwave. any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, ideas will be stolen tout suite. if you feel the urge to hear some of your favourite music, get in touch via these pages press play and enjoy the sound of springtime in liverpool. happy listening. if you could pass the link on to people you know and who will appreciate this nonsense, then the more the merrier. and don't forget to let us know what you think, your feedback is dead important. without you, it's pointless.
love. x
