Brett Cusack, Essendon based musician. Amazing Guitarist/Singer/Song-writer has been taking 12 weeks to couch surf around Melbourne; writing songs as he goes. He finds inspiration in the every day creeks and groans of the different houses as well as from the amazing array of people he gets to stay with.
Entering their little world (via couch) allows him to travel without even leaving his own city.

Special thanks to Jarek (one band that Brett plays in) for providing backing music.

Mongolia

simon marrow — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 07:02:33 +0000

Ben Cale is a polite young Englishman with an outragous zest for travelling. He is currently teaching English in Korea but his favorite trip was to Mongolia. It was aimless wandering that led him there in an 8 seater soviet era bus from China with 20 people inside it took over 25 hours.
He hurded yacks accross a mountain range without any local help and even ate an entire goat. :) Amazing Stuff.

Brisbane to Burma in a Land Cruiser Part 1 of 2

Amy De La Hunty is no ordinary English backpacker. She has a crazy zest for life and adventure. This interview Proves it.

The orriginal plan was to go from Brisbane via boat to KL in Malaysia and then drive all the way to Europe via Packistan, Afghanistan and Russia. Thank my lucky stars they never got that far; they were planning to go through the Swat Valley one of the most dangerous places on earth, somewhere that no westerner could or should ever set unprotected foot in.

Poland, Asleep In the Park AKA the On fires -PART 1 of 2

simon marrow — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 07:19:36 +0000

This is Part 1 of 2 of when I found a band wandering around the studios the other night. The two musos turned out to be Marty Xennoff and Max Harman From Asleep in the Park now known as the On Fires.

They had just got back from tour of Europe. Their Punk Rock music has been a massive hit in Eastern Europe especially in the old cummunist block countries like Poland and the Eukrain. They were also very popular in Vietnam.

Earthquake in Chile

On Saturday at 3.30am Chilean time, a devestating 8.8-magnitude earthquake - one of the most powerful earthquakes in history - struck about 80 kilometers south of Concepción.

The death toll in the city situated 500km south of Santiago continues to soar. Reporter Simon Marrow was in that area in July last year building houses.

He speaks with local Pancho Francisco Elicer Coopman, who was out partying when the lights went out and everything started to shake.

So Our Second Show had at least a vague Valentines/singles awareness day theme. Christa Winkles brought us a great story from an Aussie living in Belgium all for a girl. His heart warming/sickening story was actually very funny. Listen to him talk about how his girl chose him!
