I spent most of the afternoon/evening searching for more places to get possible employment over the summer and filled out an application to hopefully get a temporary position at WH Smiths.
Whilst doing this I made a start on listening back to the shows that Smoke has done over the last year starting off in the Autumn although there's not really much I have from the first semester especially in daytime. That's good however as as there's a wider selection of music and presenting styles.
Some of the shows I've listened to included the boys from "You Heard It Here First" who were very "rock and roll" in their presentation which resulted in them getting the prize of the same name at this years Smoke Awards.
Although some of the stuff they come out with is hilarious and matches my sense of humour perfectly, I reckon it would be too rude even for the likes of BBC 6Music or XFM with references to some of the dodgier lyrics from an N.E.R.D tune, and suggestions that Santa Claus may be addicted to cocaine.
I've also had a listen back to Caroline from the second year's first edition of
"Back To The Future" which she would probably think is embarassing but there's a good selection of indie tunes on offer such as little known act "The Glad Rags" as well as a few classics from the likes of the Smiths and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
There was also a brilliant tune from her favourite band The Futureheads called
"Broke Up The Time" which reminded me of a song called "High Rise" by the Trainspotters lead by ex Radio 1 DJ Mike Read which was released as a single that my Dad used to own.
I reckon I'll be on to the beginning of the Spring semester tomorrow and the muddled period that was Refreshers Week 2008 and I may make a start on another application form, this time for Woolworths. I'm hoping also to get a chance to do the cooking this week although everything seems to taste different in Canterbury than when I'm back in halls.
