Hard to believe it’s five months since we’ve been on air. Our last show was the Saturday before the February 22 earthquake. Damn nice to be back.

RDU is now running shows from the fabulous RDUnit (a converted horse truck) and for the moment is based at the Colombo Street / Wordsworth Street corner in Sydenham. The RDU programme has been rejigged which means we’re still starting midday on Saturdays but now finishing at 1.30pm. Check the new RDU website for full details of shenanigans.

Great fun rocking an old skool mic too. Which might explain random sound levels. And dropouts. And lack of attention to mixing. Ahem.

At the risk of becoming a Hipster Runoff meme… Ain’t nothing like doing a show when my Macbook keeps playing the dreaded spinning beach ball of death – I  suppose it’s like having a built in cosmic disco effects unit, just less predictable. A good reminder that live radio is great fun.

In today’s WTF?!?!? segment – remember this lovely number from 1986? Doesn’t it bring back memories of shitty school discos or shitty redneck nightclubs? Gotta love the one hit wonders. Boy’s Don’t Cry possibly hit the big time because of the major labels being investigated for payola back in the 1980s. Have a read of Fredric Dannen’s “Hit Men: Powerbrokers and Fast Money Inside the Music Business” for details.
