I won't even comment on JJJ..It's so confusing.

JJJ sucks. All they play is hip hop crap. Their news is shit and community radio is better. It should be banished forever and ever. No one listens to it anyway....

lane, did you read beyond the first two paragraphs?

DAFSFFS!!

soooo many threads on the J's

isn't it called re-dressing the balance - was on once before - pretty darn amusing.

Colbert called, he wants his schtick back.

Moclair doesn't tell his guests in advance the show is a spoof. As with Ali G and Norman Gunston, the comic tension comes from us knowing it's satirical but the guests, and some listeners, taking Addison's extreme views and pomposity seriously.

tough crowd

Tony Moclair = Guido Hatzis

It's aimed at the mid-west demographic.

Feh.

I prefer Alan Partridge.

Come on, Stirling Addison? The name screams transparent spoof.

not really. look at the names of the australian rugby team some time.

Didn't they used to have a couple of Young Liberals members on hosting duties when it was first introduced a few years ago?

I just saw Midnight Juggernauts leaving the JJJ studio - now there's your transparent spoof.

> Tony Moclair = Guido Hatzis

is that right?

sure is.

anyone head it? hot or not humour?

Am I juvenile for laughing at the phrase "transparent spoof"?

what's this thread about

What was the name of that thatcherite bint who used to write for Farrago in 2004? Melissa something. They should have just got her in. Comedy act and a half.

5 second delay? how annoying! for sport - but if a source of music was only available digitally, then there would be no delay v's the alternative would there?

Runs to shop to buy a digital radio solely to listen to ''unearthed'' aussie hip hop.

i reckon this station would be best devoured over the internet streaming -i don't think anyone should go an buy a digital device speciffically for an uneartherd jjj channel

I agree, but I also think that internet radio will be waaaay more important than digital in the future. I bet there is currently a lot more people listening to the radio thru streaming apps (like tunein), than there is with digital radios.

i think internet streaming must have saved stations like rrr & 3pbs? - opens up a massive national audience! just gotta get people nationally to subscibe at radiothon times and u survive! minimal ads! take that to the world & the sky is the limit potentially!

I got a new mini hi-fi a few months ago with a digital radio built in...I haven't noticed anything other than an annoyingly huge amount of SBS stations. Will have to figure out how to pick up the Unearthed station, seems like it could be good for a listen here an there.

I really love triple j breakfast without the two regular guys. Paul Verhoven (sp?) is such a ridiculous legend.

SPORTS JAZZ

Rosie Beaton has left Super Request.

Most overdue departure ever.

Oh god, yes, weeellll the fuck overdue.

i always liked rosie.

i like rosie an her voice is nice but she is very old for thsi. tom and alex are made to rivel merick and rosso i tihn

think

Tom and Alex are the reason I don't listen to Triple J anymore. I used to just listen to it in the shower in the hope Zan would play something cool, which she frequently does, but these dudes are just the worst. They gave my ears cancer.

shenanigans!

I haven't seen Mean Girls.
I would think that saying 'Boo, you whore!' to JG openly is ''fucked up sexism'', regardless of your sexual orientation.

A story of mine published in last month's Rolling Stone.

The Discovery Channel: Is triple j's power over Australian music being used for good, or evil?

Nice article...shame it had to get cut short due to word limit, would've loved another couple of thousand words of quotes and inferences.

Downfall parody

I had a laff.

Youtube comment -
''ever since scott dooley left its been a god awful descent in to fairy floss indie hell.''

Aw, young people.

Downfall parody is shit, but for the line ''you're not a hipster, you're just a nazi''.
