radio - modern and ancient
You're no doubt aware that I've liked radio for a number of years, and it's fairly obvious that the internet is a perfect location for nostalgia (TV Ark, for example, has loads of classic bits of television). So it was only a matter of time before whole radio jingle packages started making their appearances online. Enjoy, if you will, some wonderful bits of cheese (best served with some chilled grapes and Tuc biscuits)...
- 80.229.12.63/thisisilr/ss/ssaudio.html : classic Southern Sound jingles.. some fine work (thanks, Jon!)
- 80.229.12.63/thisisilr/rm/rmaudio.html : Radio Mercury... the heart of the south! I was rather surprised to discover that the great David Arnold (creator of such wonders as the music to Stargate, Independence Day and - of course - Little Britain) wrote them!
- www.radiorewind.co.uk/1970's_Jingle_page.htm : For those who didn't grow up on the South Coast (well, that's most of the internet, then!) here are some classic Radio 1 jingles...
- www.radiojinglesonline.co.uk : A UK radio jingles website that appears to have been around, but is about to have a relaunch, it would appear. There's a rather amusing Radio 3 jingle here.
On other radio matters, Luton FM is back on air (though only until the end of May) - from what I've heard, it's quite professional sounding. I'm sure student radio was supposed to be more rough and ready...
My root canal, incidentally, happened; we're lucky enough to have a competent, friendly dentist who carried the job out without any nasty incidents. With all the advances in technology, he was able to show me what he'd done, using x-rays. I'm back there next Saturday for some fillings; hopefully that'll be the end of it for a while (and I won't be leaving it ten years before my next visit!)

as my marketing agency in the heartache, bedridden and bucks (sorry nothing sprang to mind for that one) region i hope you've been attempting to flog software to those lutonfm people.
