The Null Device

Pinkness and horror: I got into the office this morning (it was one of those rare days when I needed to be at work in the morning), and switched on the radio whilst I checked my mail (3RRR has a good show named Sitelines on Thursday mornings, which discusses arts-related events and plays some quite good music). Imagine my alarm when the music faded out and, instead of the intelligent tones of the 3RRR announcer, there was the artificially stimulated, rapidfire, mindlessly mercantile voice of a commercial radio announcer, in full shoving-Top-40-hits-down-the-listener's-throat mode.

It seems some gremlins came and retuned my radio to FOX FM (a commercial radio station listened to by pinks, crowd-followers and people who prefer their radio conformistic and predictable) overnight.

(I did change to 3RRR, though, and caught part of Sitelines; interestingly enough, they interviewed Robert Reid of Theatre In Decay, whose latest play, Drops in the Ocean, is currently showing.)
