I have had a few Lavalier microphones over the last two years, but they haven't handled the rugged conditions I put them through. Living on Kangaroo Island means I have to contain my gear safely to handle rough weather, extreme hot or cold conditions, plus my children getting hold of them. So now I am... Continue Reading →
11 x Awesome DJ/Radio Headphones
I've been a radio presenter at 5KIxFM Community Radio Kangaroo Island since February 2017 and I've done about 50 sessions (once a week). Until now I have relied on the headphones they have available. Almost every time I choose a pair that buzzes or whooshes in my ear. So I have been searching for decent... Continue Reading →
The Sound of Silence
This is the original version of 'The Sound of Silence' from 1964 from the album 'Wednesday Morning, 3 AM': Just Simon's guitar and the vocals. After 'Wednesday Morning, 3 AM' flopped, they split up. Without either of their knowledge, both electric guitars and drums were added and this version of The Sound of Silence became... Continue Reading →
Where The Streets Have No Name – U2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzZWSrr5wFI Whenever this song comes on the radio, I crank it up to 20. Pity they never play anymore than 3 minutes of it. It is over 7 minutes of amazing U2 music that I grew up listening to constantly. Last.Fm
Learning the Bo Diddley Beat
I like finding and reading/watching all manner of interesting articles from all over the world wide web. I have done so for over ten years, and surely will continue garnering loads of information of all subjects. Even if pointless. Yet tonight's find isn't useless, yet maybe just a little left field for me. Being an... Continue Reading →
Reminiscing (1996)
I almost remember it like it was yesterday, yet suddenly feel so old. The wife and I had been dating about 6 months. We had spent one evening looking after the young three daughters of my wife's Aunt, plus about nine of their friends, taking them all for dinner to local McDonalds. It was the... Continue Reading →
Listening to a Beautiful Voice
I've been a fan of Adele for about six months. I caught her voice quite by accident on a Saturday morning, singing 'Rolling in the Deep'. Her distinct style of singing with that interesting video clip had me entranced until the end. So then I had to find Adele on Youtube to find out why... Continue Reading →
Enjoying the SBS Eurovision
Well, yeah, we had the #SBSEurovision finals on SBS-TV tonight. I can't say much more than what I have tweeted over the last few hours. The asterix '#' at the end of each links to my original tweet. ~ Aaaargh, ears bleeding, please make that Finnish kid finish! # ~ The Denmark song sounds vaguely... Continue Reading →
What a real U2 Fanatic Does Online
Whilst I had planned to save for a new canon lens, I've decided to get something far more important - at least for me: I want U2 tickets! Unfortunately U2 are not performing in Adelaide, so we will be spending a weekend in Brisbane or somewhere we can find family willing to accommodate us for... Continue Reading →
