I’ve been listening to a lot of ABC Classical FM radio 105.9 especially the morning programme with Russell Torrance: he has a lovely soothing Scottish accent. No ads, little news and a great way to start the day.

^^ Classical is my go to when I'm not particularly digging the show on 3RRR or PBS, or sometimes when I just want to settle the emotions, especially when driving in the city. 3MBS (103.5) is also worth a listen.

KISS at the concert last night.

I was never a big fan but we were walking past the tennis centre yesterday and Kelly saw tickets available and wanted to go.
Was a really good show, even though I only knew 3 of the songs.

These blokes, in their 70's, just like the Stones, amaze me with their energy and commitment. Just fantastic :D

Just got back from watching Coldplay at Wembley. Great night. Not a huge favourite of mine but still a worthy spectacle.

Even if you are not a big fan, some bands put on a good show so worth the ticket.

Can't get into it. I'll stream MMM on my phone while walking or mowing the lawn, if I want to choose music I have several gig of music in MP3 format that I either downloaded or burnt from CD's on a portable hard drive, I can mix that around, create playlists for different situations, play albums, all without needing to stream. I have 2.6 gig just on my phone.

Yeah Stui, I was similar. I've got my old Ipod jammed with albums, couple hundred vinyl 33's, couple hundred c.d's. What I found was I've got access to around 500 of my stuff but there is another 1500 albums that I would love to have at my disposal and voila, Spotify does it.
