Over the last few months I have read more personal blogs than anytime in over ten years. Many critics have been quick to point out that this blogging renaissance is largely a result of the decline of established media organisations. For the Frantic Items blog I want to focus on the positive potential of the format and steer clear of the death of journalism pile on, which has been eloquently covered elsewhere.
I present a radio show each Sunday at 6pm on 3RRR 102.7 FM in Melbourne, Australia. Mostly covering new music with frequent artist interviews, the show is a guiding light in my life, providing an outlet for all the excessive weekly listening.
Starting the blog on this server was inspired by Joe Delon, whose excellent accounts of club culture always get me buzzed for the next party. Alongside updates from the radio show there will be my own take on the live music experience from over here in Australia. Here we go!
