I was up pretty early this morning, well 8:50 is pretty early when you get to my age. Nothing majorly eventful so far today, I put together another whooshy promo thingy for the specialist output on Smoke mixing together the Arctic Monkeys with Gil Scott-Heron. That's how far our musical output tends to stretch out on the station especially when you've got people such as the Shuffle boys as part of the team.
Adam was telling me during their show last Thursday that he'd written a letter to BBC Radio 3 complaining about the axing of their show "Mixing It" and that Late Junction is to be shortened in length. The letter also mentioned that he wasn't happy about the corporation's attitude to experimental music and they should donate a large amount of their funds from the government to community stations such as Resonance FM in London who are more than willing to give time to leftfield genres. One of the fellow students on my radio course helps out with a Swedish comedy show on Resonance and even Matthew presents a show there on Sunday afternoons which covers all sorts of interesting and peculiar topics.
I went in to the studios just before 12 to put the promo on the system and give Steve a hand switching studios as he's covering for Ricky on the chart this week. If anyone can switch studios and make the transition sound seemless then there's no one slicker than Steve. Apparently we've got a Smoke meeting on Tuesday which I really think we need more of because there seems to be a lack of motivation between each other than there was last year, and it's good for others to get encouraged and for all of us to know what's going on more reguarly.
