oh I forgot my point. More specialists shows will draw more passionate fans and supporters.

IE. give me a good show about Australian music hostory that I can live without - I will pay for that without a second thought.

See, I can be constructive.

Wow, this login still works.

Levins - you're view is what made me quit FBi. I was involved in FBi since I was 17 as well, but the station took off in one elitist ''youth'' direction. You're right it's a community and it's one that so many people are not a part of. This Ask Richard Campaign - never have I seen anything preach to the converted.

I look at people I know and I wonder why they are not listening to FBi, or don't even know about it. FBi should be cutting edge - but it's not. I think of Kristen, my feend who knows more about Reggae than anyone. Or my friend Sean who is a scholar of all things power pop and country. Both love and absorb music. Bith still buy music magazines! But they don't give one cent to FBi.

Magazines are a good analogy, actually. Would you pay for the Metro? Or Drum Media? Even if you say yes, it would not be much. But what if you're an old soul - do you buy Mojo? Or country - No Depression? Design magazines. Niche.

You have to give people something to love and something to pay for. That wishy washy idea of community - what? I'm giving my money so Levins can have the same Ask richard t-shirt as the person standing next to him?

I can't believe that renewed my membership in February, as a passionate sponsor. Good to see my money was thrown into Ask Richard. And I still have not received my weekly emails, no matter how many times I've asked. But I want to be on there so I can keep a track of what's going on in Sydney. The flaw of that thinking is - FBi does not represent what's going on in Sydney. Just one small part of it.

I listened to FBi for a couple of years after it launched and except for the two Stuarts - never learnt a thing about music. Some of the tunes are nice, but I can listen and discover new music in a million ways today.

We busted our balls for FBi because we needed radio. We needed exposure for Sydney musicians. We did not need a home for the Sydney indie rock community. But that's what we got.

I am filled with so much sadness when I think of FBi. I wish I could look back at my time there with any good feeling but I don't.

This album is fantastic.

I am however, two tracks in.

I am seeing this in a few hours. at the O2 stadium in London where apparently they have recreated a springfield street and all sorts of business. That is SO AWESOME. I am so excited.

It is a fantastic song. I kind of wish the intro wasn't there and just get straight to the song.

It is such a sweet song.

They have made some Rhianna Umbrellas. they will probably be girly and expensive.

Again the music is fantastic in his films.

We can call ourselves the Elton John Butler Trio

I've got the album title - Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young, Gifted & Black.

Surely this is a good thing right??
