It’s great to be a part of Melbourne internet radio station Radio Valerie. A few weeks ago, I started my own show, “Shake Your Power”. It’s Saturday 5-7pm and it’s two hours of funk 45’s, soul, jazz funk, disco and everything around there!
This station is exciting. It’s DIY radio, it’s new, it’s a fresh injection of passionate people who just want to do radio. It’s brings together people who love the music they play and topics they present….and, I’m not hearing it anywhere else!!

Records, radio and ranting
Slackness..
Sorry about the slackness of me and this blog. So many grand visions and plans for this page, that WILL happen!
Believe me!
I am in the process of funk 45 mixes and a mellow funks set to post and putting up info about records I’m finding and gigs/radio spots and goins on here in Melbourne town.
So give me a week and I’ll have some new info about 45’s I picked up of late and new sets for you to download and put on whilst doing whatcha do!

3RRR FM Radiothon Aug 14-23 2009
Be sure to get down and subscribe to support this years Radiothon “I Will Subscribe.”
Australia’s biggest community radio station has got the disco going(not that we’re playing any disco!) and has the dancefloor ready with all the best from it’s independant, listener supported radio!
So, we’re asking for a small cover charge to get in and become a part of the 3RRR family and all the benefits it brings. Huge prizes on offer too, for both local and overseas subscribers. But knowing that 3RRR will be around for another year is the most important.
I am doing a graveyard as part of Radiothon on Monday 17th August 2-6am, so I’d love to hear from you. But you can subscribe to any show at any time. Works out to be just over a dollar a week! A bargain compared to what you get. Just think of the hundreds of volunteers who help out in all areas to run the station. The people who bring you the shows each week, all the time and effort they put in to a non-playlisted program reflecting the great music of all areas and genres.
And it’s your station, so you can be a part in so many ways, but the most important support comes through subscription.
So we’ll see you on the dancefloor! Although you probably don’t want to see me dance!
