I wonder if they make eyebrow stencils?

Worth looking into, haha.

Then laughed at what I'd typed hysterically for about five minutes.

I am a terrible friend.

April Fools Day Game Playlist - Guess The Fool Songs!

For April Fools Day on the show I decided to have a little bit of fun with the listeners by putting some non goth songs in the playlist and people got points for being the first person to mention if the song was one of the usual genres that I would play on the show.
Can you see the odd songs in the playlist?

Ardera Sempre - Miranda Sex Garden
Kiss - London After Midnight
Stand By Me - Skeletal Family
Boys - Britney Spears
Marlene Dietrich's Favourite Poem - Peter Murphy
Rock Me Amadeus - Falco
I Go Crazy - Flesh For Lulu
I Am The Walrus - The Beatles

A Little Bar Of Soap - Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows
Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley
Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo - The Bloodhound Gang
NATIONAL ANTHEM OF KAZAKHSTAN (from Borat)

Our winner was Nicole Marie from Portland, Oregon.
Simply because she turned the show into something from Hogwarts with her Goth / Harry Potter related puns:"
10 POINTS TO GOFFINDOR
GOTHINDOR?
MURPHEY'S CLAW (Like Murphy's Law, it's like...GOOD ON SO MANY LEVELS!)
SMITHLEPUFF
SIOUXSIERIN"

Bad puns TOTALLY win me over.

RGR Photo Competition

On my radio show we recently did a competition and to enter you have to send in a photo of yourself listening to my show.
Here are some of my favourite entries:

                         From Robert in Hertfordshire:

From Alfred in Alaska (this was our runner up):
 Nicole from Portland, Oregon, USA (this was our winner for the use of mirrors/animal print but also because it shows us when/where she listens to the show:



Nicole also won for her witty comeback

Me (responding to the photo she sent): This is a slice of pure awesome!
Nicole: "I am your slice of life!" :D
10 points if you get the reference.

This picture was taken by myself on my phone at the pet shop earlier.



Funnily enough he doesn't like swimming with the other fish or any fish that are different to him.
He was just swimmin' about...indoctrinating the guppies. 

Monday 22 November 2010

Having been so overworked lately I was worried that I'd leave my radio playlists for this/next week too late...
....and thus I have made playlists for the next three weeks.

It feels good to be organised for once.
