Journal of my Pacific adventure

I left England on October 3rd 2005 to live in Hawaii with my fiancée. We are travelling to New Zealand and some of the other Polynesian countries (+ Australia) over the next year or two. This blog is a journal of my Pacific adventure. Pete's new blog is available now, at www.allasoneword.blogspot.com

Time to tune in to . . .


It is exciting to think that Ellen is a succesful radio presenter in Hawaii, even more so given the effort she has put in to her show, and the difficulty of getting her foot in the door of college radio there. Her regular 3am timeslot has not deterred her, neither have the various training and induction hoops through which she has had to jump in order to progress. Hawaiian listeners have begun to take notice, and on the eve of her move from the 3am timeslot to a more critical time, Ellen has published a website with recorded shows and playlists from her recent performances. International times for her show are currently:

London - Sunday 2pm

New York - Sunday 8am

Tokyo - Sunday 10pm

Copenhagen - Sunday 2pm

Auckland - Monday 2am

KTUH is college radio at the University of Hawaii and is available on FM and also over the internet - which means international listeners can easily tune in. The show is a mixture of New Zealand and International music tied to the theme of Lo-Fidelity production techniques. Regular artists on the show include The Shins, Sufjan Stevens, The Cocteau Twins and The National. Ellen has also produced some draft publicity designs for the radio station and I'm looking forward to seeing these as bumper stickers in the coming months, although it'll have to wait for the powers-that-be to approve them first. Adding media design and broadcasting to her already impressive portfolio, one wonders whether Ellen is in fact planning to take over the world, as it does seem increasingly feasible. The website address where you can view her handiwork is http://www.ktuh.org/lo-fi/index.htm and the recorded shows are available there too. To listen in to her show live you need to go to the KTUH website at http://www.ktuh.org/ and click on listen live.

You lot on NY2 used to tune in and listen as I recall. At least you told me you did!

I remember Sam's sage words of advice against playing Little Fluffy Clouds by the Orb. "Pete, no-one wants to listen to five minutes of electronic trance". He was so right that man.
