A Sunday pre a Long Weekend...


So the AFL Grand Final is done and Sydney Swans came 2nd yesterday and my almighty Rabbits are finally in an NRL Grand Final.

Sports update done.

However I did have a truly lovely run around Centennial Park earlier this AM and almost forgot Listen Out Festival was there yesterday. To be honest other than a few empties around he perimeter the place was fairly clean.

Listen Out today moves to Perth and officially kicks off the 2014/2015 Festival season. For more Festival needs head along to my other BLOG Flashing off the Record. I have a Field Day Mixtape and on Monday I listed the biggest Festival acts to be heading our way for this very Festival season, check it out here.

So this week the Doctor on JJJ has been off his normal radio slot and the divine Ronny Chieng and Nazeem Hussain have taken over. What a great change this has been. The Doctor has been so passed his used by date for years. He is undoubtedly one of the stations (if not more so than Lewi McKirdy) most disliked announcers and also for me he was in his prime with Frenzal Rhomb but as a radio announcer, maybe stick to grave yard shifts.

In an era of comedians taking over breakfast and drive radio shifts, maybe it's time for JJJ to put the old Doctor to rest. He has done an average job, and let's be honest since Helen Razer (and either Judith Lucy or Adam Spencer) or Today Today with Chris & Craig JJJ has struggled to get a decent replacement.

So Ronny/Nazeem can't wait for a another week with you too. Ronny is also playing a few shows around the place too, for details why not go here.

Now to TV and the shame that is Channel 9 right now, primetime we get there poorly produced news at:

6pm
6:30pm - 8:00pm - WALL to WALL Bogans on the Block. Thank god apparently it's almost over.
8:00pm - 9:00pm - More war on terror, it must be either 60 Minutes of ACA
9:00pm - 10:30pm - Oh boy, more reality TV for an hour and a half. Big Brother continues to humiliate and draw negative attention to itself.

Weeks ago Nine was banging on how great it Big Brother was rating but now, it's all silent on the BB ratings front. Maybe cause half the audience has vanished without a trace. Funny how the Golden era of TV is filled with such shit in this country. And wait it's not even non ratings period yet. Fuck me.

Music wise well done to the return of the Veronica's their latest single has hit #1 on the ARIA charts. And speaking of ARIA's my predictions for all the categories in this year's awards is coming soon.
