Forgive me for mixing business with pleasure, but dear readers, I need you! I’ve moved to Newcastle to work full time as a producer/presenter/webbysocialmediapersonthing for Amazing Radio and I need ‘real people’ to help make my show sound fabulous. So how can you do this? Well, in a number of ways… Get your music onto [...]

Turn up. Trade in. Help Out.
I admit that I feel like a bit of a thief, what with stealing the following from the Amazing Radio blog! But it’s pretty cool news, and hopefully will get more people listening to DAB digital radio. All digital radios come with FM recievers (some AM too if you’re that way inclined) and there are some [...]

You need this unsigned music in your life…
As all of the acts featured on this post are unsigned, their recordings vary in quality. Therefore get ye to one of their gigs before you make a decision on whether you’d buy a properly produced LP. I’ve always felt very passionately about giving acts a chance in a live environment, as it tends to [...]

Another thing about Skins.
A year or so ago I wrote a blog post questioning the content of the trail for the ‘next generation’ of Skins, aka series three. It wasn’t particularly approving, perhaps because I was a tad sensitive about a fireworks-in-a-night-club disaster and the fireworks-in-a-pub-lark of the ad (that debuted a few days later) felt a tad [...]

My amazing radio debut and other news…
Today at 1pm my first Amazing Acoustic show will be played on Amazing Radio. I’m a bit worried about hearing my voice – it’s annoying at the best of times. I’ve kept links short and arranged back to back songs to avoid upsetting Amazing Radio listeners who are used to hearing only music (presenters have [...]

It’s burn a while!
Hello! It has been a while hasn’t it? I’ve graduated from Channel 4, returned to University, proceeded with my court case (still waiting for a date but have received the ‘defence’) and got a radio station back up and running. This Freshers’ Week was the first time Burnfm broadcasted outside into Mermaid Square. We weren’t [...]

Burnfm best student radio station by GetFrank This is an entry for the Student Radio Awards (Best Student Radio Station.) It took me bloomin’ ages as we didn’t have many recordings…I’ve been rather pedantic and reorganised all the files on the production computer. It would be amazing to get nominated as we’ve worked ‘rather [...]

Operation Mousemat
Today in the Burnfm studio I came up with…an idea! Basically in the OLRC (library on the Selly Oak campus) there are old mousemats next to every computer. These were sponsored by a now defunct computer company called DCS plc. My idea is to replace these mousemats with Burnfm.com mousemats. It’s a hugely ambitious idea, [...]

If you see Atom/Business Time/Get Frank’s first gig
…I sent an email to Adam of Atom and His Package and got a response! Apparently my email asking the retired musician to come play in England so I could sing on track ‘Head (she’s a)’ made his day, but unfortunately he has no plans to make a trip any time soon (or ever it seems!) [...]
