Amplitude or Frequency

Driving to work this morning i was horrified by what i heard - something that made me question myself and my values...while it was no more than the normal drivel that one normally gets in breakfast radio, it was not the content but the style in which it was delivered that shocked me. It hit me straight between the eyes somewhere after the traffic but before the sport...and i changed channels just to be sure...but after checking there was no denying... I HAVE STARTED TO LISTEN TO AM RADIO!!!!!!!!!

This is devastating. I have always thought of myself as fairly young and with it, while never jumping on the latest bandwagons, i had the knowledge of said wagons and their destinations. I have always prided myself on my music collection and how up to date i was on latest sounds and gigs. All this was largely due the 45 minutes i spend in a car each day listening to the radio to and from work. With the best that triplej had to offer, mixed with a bit of random flicking, and the recent inclusion of Fbi, i was well and truly sorted and had my fingers on the pulse (well my eardrums on the beat, as it is impossible to touch music unless you take those special happy pills/mushrooms).

But somehow over the past week or 2 my radio has been limited to the amplitude modulations of Sydney and i have not had an issue. This is the biggest indication to me that time is progressing and i am getting older. While i am not at the stage of complaining about children having no respect for elders or that the music is too loud (possibly due to hearing loss - thanks concerts with speaker systems so huge they have their own postcode) i am also surprisingly interested in hearing about the state of local politics and other boring and crap issues.

Perhaps my car radios inclination towards the "oldies" band is a reflection as to whats on offer. In my defence, i think the state of music at the moment is boring, triplem have screwed with their playlists too much, triplej have terrible morning show and fbi is often forgotten as it is not in my presets. Also coming into September, when all sports either starting or finishing, it is the time when AM radio shines with sport on all stations except the talk back, and they are talking about sport. The universe is working against me and trying to crush what remaining youth i have - damn you unoriginal artists and your sportstar bedfellows.

Perhaps i should accept that from now on my stomach will be expanding, i will be getting increasingly forgetful, money is not worth what it used to, kids are getting away with murder and i will becoming frequently forgetful... or i could just listen to cd's instead.

Steve Brock or Peter Irwin

I must apologise to the very few who actually check out this page regularly as i have been away and neglected it. In the past weeks i have been interstate for more days than i have been here and as a result have not done crap on the blog. i will try and be a better blogger but if not - deal with it.

It would be wrong of me not to add my dos pesos on the untimely passing of the crocodile hunter and peter "perfect" brock. i am not sure if its a reflection on me or the pull off this person but i will always remember where i was when i heard the news that the croc hunter was gone - looking for a park in a Perth garage. At the time i thought that it was maybe 6 months after april 1 and those wacky radio djs decided to do a half aprils fools. Alas, by the time we had pulled the hand brake on, it was confirmed that the catch cry of "crikey" was the newest addition to the endangered list. While i was never a huge fan of him and when i heard the initial news of his death assumed that a salty had enough bullshit with this whole "moving the chicken just as i go for a bite" routine and went for the other white meat, i immediately felt the lose. The crocodile hunter had just the right amount of larikin and passion that made him immediately identifiable to all, as a true Aussie. While many questioned his handling and dramatics he did more for nature and wildlife in this country, as well as marketing Australia as a eco tourist hotspot, than any i am aware of - except for captain cook. To his family, i wish you long life.

The king of the mountain - the name said it all. While i never claim to be a rev head i, like most men of the eastern suburbs, have probably spent a lazy afternoon watching cars go around in the hope that there would be a crash. it was during these arvos that i found myself to be a bit of a ford man, possibly the aussie in me likes the underdog, but also admiring the one they called Peter Perfect. It was Brocky that actually made me want to watch a car race that went for 24hrs in 97 as it was his final race - i never lasted more than the first 3 laps and tuned back in for the finish - but was glad to see that the man started his final race where he belonged, in pole position. While i cant drive manual, i could recognise both the face and voice of peter brock no problems. To Peter's family, i wish you a long life.

And to all those poor bastards born this week and to be named steve brock or brocky irwin stay away from cars and wildlife.
