a couple of weeks ago i was lucky enough to join declan kelly on his RRR show “against the arctic” here in melbourne, where he kindly let me take over the show for 40 minutes or so and treat the city to some lazy sunday electronica. i took the opportunity to just play some of my all time favourite tracks, and it was lovely. we also chatted a bit about “stuff.” the show can be downloaded here.

tonight tune in to 106.7 pbs fm in melbourne after 8 pm, when i’ll be joining bevin on the blend for a chat. pbs streams online - and you can also listen to the show at any time after its aired on demand. clickyy clickty

every week, with my friend dave, i present a show on 102.7 rrr fm. its called “to and fro.” also, in case i forget to mention it later, i’ll be doing a special christmas set on rrr from 10pm to 2am christmas night, pulling out all my favourite christmas novelty tracks. yep i’ve got four hours of them. tune in if you haven’t already gone to bed, bloated and contented. its 102.7 fm if you are in melbourne, or you can stream it online here.

a big massive thanks to all of the wonderful people in radio who are supporting my new EP - rrr, pbs, fbi, 2ser, 4zzz, rtr - i’ve had the good fortune to talk to and meet many of the awesome volunteer broadcasters that do great work at these stations, and i can safely say that they are all of them, without exception, hot stuff. at the risk of sounding obnoxious, self-serving and lame - lets face it, i was already at that point long ago - people like me simply would not be able to make music and get it heard without independent radio. community radio stations remain the backbone of the awkward hunky vertebrate that is independent music.

also.. thanks to all my friends and family who have sent me excited sms messages about how they are hearing my songs on triple j. woo!
