To get off this list, reply saying:  On state television, interim president Nicolas Maduro stated that Chávez’s cancer was the work of “the historical enemies of our homeland,” adding that Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat, who died in a coma in 2004, was likewise “inoculated with an illness.” In Iran, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared a national day of mourning and said he had “no doubt that [Chávez] will return alongside Jesus Christ.”

MARCH 13TH - COMMIT TO COMMUNITY RADIO PBS OPEN DAY


Radio is slowly but surely going all digital, and the government has just pulled the funding for the community stations to get fully onto the digital system by the time analogue is phased out, so read this shizz below, sign the petition, and come along to PBS next wednesday to be outraged and eat a sausage. I'll be co-presenting City Slang with Kim!



As you may have heard recently, PBS will be participating in a national campaign to make sure that the federal government fulfills its commitment to community radio in Australia.  Previously the government has promised to fund the community sector nationally to help provide the infrastructure required to broadcast on the new digital radio platform.  PBS and all major metro stations (3RRR, 3CR, 3MBS, et al) already broadcast on digital radio and without full funding those services may have to be shut down.  There have already been over a million digital radios sold in Australia and the uptake of digital radio is growing steadily.

On Wednesday March 13 EVERY community station will participate in a national day of programming to encourage listeners to support community radio and our fight to get the government to provide the funding they have previously promised.  In the last budget that funding was cut by $1.4M.

Here at PBS we’ll open our doors and invite the community in for a BBQ during the day. 
  
read up on the campaign and sign the petition at  www.committocommunityradio.org.au


SATURDAY NIGHT FISH FRY @ The Gem w/ DJs Richie1250 + Tony & Sue (Exotics)


Very pleased to have Tony and Sue returning to man the left hand turntable at Saturday Night Fish Fry! There played some super skronked out electric blues last time that made my missisipi mud cake taste all the sweeter. Will I eat the crab gumbo or the pulled pork sandwiche? Will my record of Ike Turner & Tommy Hodge doing "I know you don't love me no more" arrive in time? Will the mummy get his bracelet back? 
The answers to these and other pressing questions shall be revealed on saturday night down at The Gem...


SATURDAY NIGHT FISH FRY

Second saturday of every month in the cosy confines of The Gem

PROBE IS TURNING ON THE PEOPLE


Bruce Milne put me onto his buddy Phil's website "THE PROBE". What it lacks in up to date design it definitely makes up for in super music obsesso zeal and weirdness! Enough to make the worst of us feel like perfectly upright, healthy citizens.

He puts together themed "sessions", mixes of songs about cockroaches and giants, contemporary covers of the velvet underground, songs featuring deep voiced vocal interjections, and so forth. For one he found the original sound effects record used for the car crash on Nervous Norvus' "Transfusion", then made a mix of every other record that used that same car crash.

Hours of fun for the whole family!

To get off this list, reply saying:  Members of a London jury were dismissed for asking questions the presiding judge said showed a “fundamental deficit in understanding.” “Can you define what is a reasonable doubt?” wrote the jury. “A reasonable doubt is a doubt which is reasonable,” wrote the judge. “Can a juror come to a verdict based on a reason that was not presented in court and has no facts or evidence to support it?” wrote the jury. “No,” wrote the judge.

EARTH GIRLS ARE EASY (Julien Temple, 1988)



How this movie escaped my grasp as a child i cannot understand. I saw it in the video store, i saw the preview on other videos, yet like ships in the night...

Anyway, I finally watched it last friday night, and I can tell you it's without doubt one of the great crap movies of the 1980's. I'd put it right up there with The Adventures Of Ford Fairlane and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun for pure trashy pop culture enjoymotainment. I would have loved it then, and I lurve it now.

The plot basically has nail salon gal Geena Davis having some hairy aliens crash land in her pool and then to hide their alienness from her slimy doctor boyfriend she shaves them and they turn out to be total babes and they go wild on the town in LA and romance and trouble and dance-offs ensue.

Director Julien Temple (he made The Great Rock N Roll Swindle) mainly had a background in music videos and this is basically a wacky late 80's LA pop music / culture movie, with lots of song and dance sequences and plenty of colour colour colour.

Lets get a whole bunch of popcorn and and some champagne and paint our toenails and watch it together!
