As a JJJ listener who at times struggled with some of the new genres, how good is their new digital channel Double J (ex DIG) that started yesterday..

Play list is still indy, just no rap and doof doof music.

Makes me feel old. Even after they take out the crap, I still struggle to recognise any more than about a 1/3 of the bands on that play list.

You guys would love the radio stations in the Emirates then. All run by 40 year old British expats, so it's a constant stream of all the shit that was playing in the 90s.

Then stop arguing so much Pou. You might find that you won't have so many enemies.

Talking about pigs at the trough. Not long ago Tony Abbott lashed out at suggestions that some of his mob were corrupt.

Prime Minster Tony Abbott has lashed out at a journalist who suggested the NSW government was corrupt during a press conference following the shock resignation of NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell. The journalist, believed to be Nicola Berkovic, a reporter for The Australian, asked: “Prime minister, do you trust this government – the state government – which is proving to be corrupt, to deliver your major infrastructure plans?”
Abbott reacted angrily to the question, lecturing the woman who asked it and demanding that she “withdraw” the question.
“That is an entirely unjustified smear,” said Abbott.
“Let me not mince my words, madam, an entirely unjustified smear and frankly, I think you should withdraw that and apologise because there is no evidence whatsoever for that.”

Since then the coalition head count goes like this:-

1 Premier
2 state ministers
1 federal minister
4 MPs

We need some more chlorine in the politicians gene pool.

If I never heard that song again I would be OK with it. Unfortunately that would require never going to another sporting event.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I too have probably heard it far too many times but what a great song it was.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I never liked it.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You wouldn't you miserable bastard.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I only like depressing music. That's where you get the good stuff.

If Morrissey sang Tubthumping, it would sounds like a funeral march.

The old DIG play list was even better - less/no mouthy announcers and station promos interrupting the music.

 

[Gary Gutful]

If Morrissey sang Tubthumping, it would sounds like a funeral march.

It would need some jangly Marr guitar as well though.

Nana nana nana nana nana nana nana Batman ! Batman ...

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Batman was my first word.

True Story.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Mine was merkin.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

It wasn't this kid's very first word, but a mate of mine's son (they live on the back straight of Caulfield racecourse) uttered 'stewardstower' in his first 20 or so 'words'. Another was 'Northerly'.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Haha awesome.

 

[Gary Gutful]

My mates son lives near Parramatta Stadium. Some of the first words he said were "Hold on to the ball for f**k sake" and "Tackle you pillow biter".
