Sonic fun...

I've just got me one of these. Such fun, though it's keeping me from working on the website, something I should really be doing.

In light of this, I should draw your attention to the comments feature at the end of this blog, which can be used to submit encouraging, supportive and motivational messages. Go Alex...GO! And if there are enough of these, you'll find me sprinting, Rocky Balboa-style, to the top of the Moke Youtube steps with a special musical treat.

Also, some news...I think there's going to be a Moke special on the radio in the next week. And coz it's on the internet, EVERYONE will be able to listen. I've just been recording idents for the show, something I haven't done in six years. An ident is when you say "Hi, this is Alex from Moke, and you're listening to (insert DJ's name here) on KLCX 108.6...the home of ROCK!"...or something like that. It used to be a task left primarily to John Hogg and myself, and not because Sean and Johnny weren't welcome to do it, but because we would actively seek out the opportunity to do so. Why? Within minutes we'd be reduced to fits of side-splitting laughter, tears rolling down our faces, barely able to breathe, whilst the increasingly frustrated DJ looked on.

I was going to post some outakes from John and myself, but then I stumbled upon a couple of pros. I think they best demonstrate why recording idents can be fun.

Which reminds me, I should call John and get him over to record some right now. And maybe have some wine.

Back soon...
