A Non-Music Rant!!

I am absolutely livid at the moment....as you may be aware I was burgled by some scum in August. As well as nicking loads of stuff in my house, they alos took my motorbike, & car(s). One's been recovered, in a mess but hey they're scum so what do you expect...the bike and my car - gone. Anyway, the f*ckers also took the Registration Documents for both vehicles. I applied to the DVLA for replacements and the one for the bike came quite quickly. Anyway last week sent it off to the insurance co. with all the other documents that I'd also had replaced requesting thet they deal with it urgently. Hadn't heard anything so rang them yeterday, to be told they hadn't received the stuff. As it wasregistered post - I checked...the f*cking Post Office has lost the stuff. I rang the DVLA to get another one, and checked on progress on the Document for the car. I was told that it had been sent the day before...so when I got home I had a letter from them to say that it can't be replaced asthey'd been told it had been scrapped. I rang the insurance company - they hadn't told them that, I rang the police, they hadn't either, I hadn't told them that, so who the f*ck had!! So I rang the number on the letter - engaged...& again engaged ...& again engaged ...& again engaged - in fact it's always engaged. Even on Saturday night. They don't worko over the weekend - I want to know, as do the police, and the insurance company who told them it had been scrapped? It can't be incompetence by a government department...surely not?? ....To be continued!!

Hello, again!

I've just recorded this week's show....only music from 1979 (except the very last track for aesthetic reasons)....That particular year was when Disco music peaked. it was an exciting year and not only several classic dance tracks were made but equally there were some less well known pieces made....for example, The River Drive - Jupiter Beyond is an absolutely amazing piece of music. If you don't know it - then do check it out. I tend to 'mix it up', but this week put in a couple of interesting 'floor fillers' - not the usual stuff that you might hear on certain commercial radio stations. My attempts at mixing this week were somewhat rubbish this week!! I usually save that for the beginning of the show but basically ballsed it up...anyway I did one later on that was a bit better!!

If you're reading this then do visit my MySpace site....it's still in development but I have a great tutor in my 13 year old daughter - Beth so it will get better and better - hope to put my shows on their eventually!! If you become 'My Friend' then I will be posting bulletins on when shows are posted on my website, live events, and all other stuff related to my burgeoning DJing career!!

Hello hello, another week goes by...

Recorded anther show & it's back to 'classic' Disco with a few twists per usual!! I am back in the groove woth Jazz Syndicate, but alas not with Smoke. I physically cannot get there with a load of vinyl. I can't carry it on the bike I am using at the moment....hopefully that will resume soon, but realistically we are looking at some time in October when I get a bike with a proper carrier.

Don't forget to visit my MYSPace place - address here. I don't have many friends as I am not popular!! Although I do seem to have listeners or visitors to my site from all over the world...maybe they are looking up retrovirus and get me instead!!

I am not going to make any statement here about my friend Jon, other than to say he is well. Too many journos sniffing around.....

Just a quickie...do listen to the show tonight - Disco not Disco with some interesting tracks!! It wasa blast to record.

My friend Jon is doing X Factor - got a text from him to say all's good and things are progressing...I'll dig out some photos of us and post them here as he hopefully progresses in the competition. Any newspapers that decide to lift them will be in breach of copyright - you have been warned. No requests either for stories - don't waste your breath - the answer's no. If you want to know who I'm going on about go HERE

Good to hear the dulcet tones of Ben S. as I type this....still dealing with the aftermath of the robbery.
