We'd like to wish you a very previous happy new year. Sunday's service will of course be in 2012 and next year we'll be all dead due to doomsday (lol) so without further ado we'll leave you with a few downbeat bits and pieces.
For some unknown reason, we can't have nice things anymore, Adobe won't support Vista 64bit so you won't hear truly excellent radio unless you of course go looking for it. NHK have stopped their support for NHKWorld SD, which means I'm left rudderless at lunchtime without me daily dose of NHKWorld (it does survive in HD format but my TV is not HD.) Which leaves you with a quandary, where do you go for gentle news and magazine format TV.
French news in English from France24 (pronounced Vingt Quatre rather than Twenty Four), isn't half bad, and reminds me a bit of old MTV Europe before it lost its soul somewhere in the late 90's. Their arts program is run by straight haired Kate Humble lookalike Eve Jackson and is pretty darn good.
Regular European news is provided by nondescript tv channel Euronews it does the job without being remotely interesting. Best thing ever was a broadcast of Jean Michel Jarres concert for the wedding of the prince of Monaco. Worst thing calling Brian May, Brian Man, in a tribute to Freddie Mercury.
Fox news seems to broadcast Fox and Friends First Live, a bizarre mix of robots masquerading as presenters and a right wing bias for each and every story. I don't care about republicanism or the soulless automatons who present it, so its often switched over in a hurry.
China has two news channels that are bland beyond words, and Russia seems to thrive on something called the Keyser report. Which leaves Arabic slanted news al Jizzura (Al Jazeera) and the soon to be fucked Press TV which is just weird. Owned by the Iranian government it adds mainly arab issues such as a march to celebrate Ashoura in London and various other pork barrel issues and relations. By that time i've either finished my lunch or Piers Moron is on CNN which means its time to move on.
We'll leave you with the news that Berkeley University have unearthed some recordings from telephone pioneer, Alexander Graham Bell. Its most interesting, do have a look dear.
