Comments and Reviews


Neil Forbes 8th Mar 2015		I'll continue this with you through a PM, RC. Okay?



Record Collector 8th Mar 2015		Huh that's so typical



Neil Forbes 8th Mar 2015		RC, PSFM didn't just break their "constitution & rules", they flushed them down the toilet!



Record Collector 8th Mar 2015		The good old days when you present your own program but as I go one place to another a few stations have kept that format not like 2NUR and port stephens fm they have broken the stations constitution



Neil Forbes 8th Mar 2015		When I started at PSFM, I'd spend anything up to a week compiling and preparing notes and banging them out on a typewriter(I didn't have a computer back in 1997). I'd prepare my script and pack a bag of CDs, LPs and 45s to cover the tracks I presented initially in a show I called "70s Retrospective". Later I expanded my field to cover from the 60s to the 80s and the title of the show became "Rock Retrospective"(by then I had an old Windows 3.1.1 computer that someone from the station gave me when they bumped up to Windows 95. But the same practice, spend up to a week research and writing, then pack necessary content. The key word was "research". To that end I delved into books written in, or as near to the period I covered as was possible. I got caught out a few times playing tracks from a CEL-label CD that WERE NOT authentic(these things can and do sneak up on you). But overall I tried to keep to authentic tracks and I'd read my script, detailing three songs, then play them back-to-back.



Record Collector 8th Mar 2015		Mine used to be part scripted and part ad libbed and what used to annoy me is that brown eyed girl by van morrison is classed as track from the 1980's BUZZZZ!!!! Wrong it's from the 1960's 1967 in fact



Neil Forbes 8th Mar 2015		Unless you have a good working knowledge of the music you're playing, yes, it's a good idea to just "shut the trap and play the track!" I've heard people back-announce "Blinded By The Light" by Electric Light Orchestra, when even the dumbest of the dumb would know it was Manfred Mann's Earth Band, or "Escape(Pina Colada Song)" as by Dr. Hook, when in fact it's by Rupert Holmes. While I laud the merits of Community over Commercial in radio terms, if you're gonna present a music show with an element of the history behind that music, then DO THE RESEARCH!!! Make absolutely sure you know what you're bloody-well talkin' about! And if you get it wrong, find out what the correct info is, and put it right!



Record Collector 7th Mar 2015		The station I worked slogan was more music and less talk



Trainman 7th Mar 2015		When I was a disc jockey, the program director gave me the best advice. "Shut Up And Play The Music!"



Record Collector 7th Mar 2015		Hmmm



Neil Forbes 7th Mar 2015		Don't think any of the discs in this series would be of any use to an Australian radio presenter. Australian radio's best representative is community broadcasting, a no-nonsense, straight-forward, honest style of broadcasting without resorting to gimmickry. Commercial radio in Australia, though, that's another matter! I despair of gimmick-laden, hyped-up, full of self-important "shock-jocks", commercial radio. These commercial jocks might've "learned" from records like this! Learned the wrong things, more like!
