Radio london(94.5) on the phone and the airwaves and it’s - night FM - mad on jazz - and legal - so his mum feels much better and begins to forgive him for failing the exams and the transmitter gets Left up which ever tower block it was left in ...and he sails .....for BBC land - bad pay, bad haicuts and worse coffee so he’s back to the pirates - no , only joking - their coffees worse - He takes the BBC shilling , splices his tape,try’s to grow a jazz beard - reels his reel to reel and gets money from them to start a new sunday session at dingwalls - .........but wait who’s that ? Jazz FM (102.2) they got a license and don’t care if he don’t play that much jazz - so he starts with public enemy and they do mind - but never mind - too late now - so mind out - and it’s saturday afternoons 4 hour sessions .... legendary !! ...... and then rants about the gulf war and gets sacked - whoops But wait !! whos that ? - it’s Kiss FM (100.nothing) and their legal too - at least they are now because they got a license as well - their giving them away - anyway ....back to the point and it’s sunday night and it’s a kind of two step latin boogie house hip hop rare soul popcorn twisted sleeping bag , R&B , R&R , R you board yet backroom babylon kind of sound ..........yeh but wait !! ........ who’s that on the phone ? thats turned into a large mobile ..... speak up!! who is it ? - ah Radio 1 Better pay , A swivelly chair but the coffees still crap - it’s swapping records with peel - and it’s sunday night and it’s outside broadcasts - and it’s coming on after carl cox and it definitely can’t be right - but it’s called a learning experience - and passable smelling mics and who’s in session this week - and it’s listen again - and it’s broken and jungle and minimal step dub tech blues - and anyone board again - ok so it’s 13 years later and who’s that - hallo say that again - Radio 6 - thankgod - that seems like a good idea - have you got your own transmitter ? good - coz he lost his ,how’s the coffee ? - in that case it’s a deal ........
