Blogs, Boos, Tea, and Scheds
Hi all,
it's a cornucopia (ooh !) of information for you this time round.
Where to start, where to start ? It's all about AZ Shows, Schedules, Audioboos...
Ok, let's begin with the Audioboo. It's new to me, and something I was asked to do recently, by oft-radio-colleague Eric Wiltsher. Ah, but hang on...it's a talky thing !
Well, I'm not used to that, but soon got into the swing of it, and before I knew it, my allotted 30 minutes were done, and, as they say, dusted.
I ramble on about Music and Vinyl (no surprises there eh ?) and will do more of the same, and touch on many other subjects too, no doubt, in the future.
By all means give it a listen - particularly if you're a fan of the 'Lost Art' of Album Covers, and musical history in general.
Where to find it ? Easy ! Here's the direct link, and then just press 'Play'...

On to The Album Zone now, and a quick update on Programme Schedules for you.
As some may know (but I'll remind you anyway), we are on globally via Replay Radio (http://www.replayradio.net) and Bondi (http://www.bonditunes.com) too, from good ol' sunny, surfy, Bondi Beach, in Australia.
As ever, we can also be heard on WCRV 97.7, in Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania (Fridays and Sundays), and also Hesser College Radio in Manchester, New Hampshire, USA (Saturdays).

I want to mention 2 people/companies, who are essential to us here at The Album Zone, and keep us going with their wonderful support, towards our massive gigabytes of broadband bills (transferring programmes all over the world can be a time consuming and costly process !) and do please check them out at some point - oh, and you can grab yourself a damn good bargain at the same time !
Firstly, our regular supporters at Thatstore, many thanks to Fawn and the gang for their constant and fabulous support. Check them out !, at http://www.amazon.com/shops/thatstore.
