A national radio station wants to call me to discuss UK punk rock

Thoughts_Arrive

I left a comment on their facebook page about who was better out of the Sex Pistols and The Clash and any other contenders.
I got a message this morning saying their producer loved my comment and wants to call me to chat.
Waiting for the call!
So excited, didn't expect that. Had to share lol

High and whiny?

(know that wasn't a dig but a Seinfeld reference )

TA, it's OK to fuck up on occasion! In fact, it's a requisite of life, and of learning.

Thoughts_Arrive

So, I just got the call, they will call back at 2.30 to record me and that will be aired tonight from 8,
Typing up what to say.

Thoughts_Arrive

I just recorded it. Took 2 takes.
The radio station played it back for me, I sound so stupid lol

What I said....

Hi my name is ______ and I am from Melbourne. You’re listening to the j files on double j.

I love the Clash because of how diverse they were, so many genres of music they touched on, especially on the London Calling album. It is very hard to pick a favourite song. Safe European Home, Career Opportunities, Rock the Casbah and their cover of I Fought The Law stand out for me.

I love punk rock because it is raw and honest, it is real, it is a form of rock music accessible to budding musicians, there is nothing fake or pretentious about it. It definitely inspired me artistically, inspired me to pick up a guitar. It changed my taste in music and how I view the world. It’s given me courage to be myself.

Even though I typed that up and read from it I sounded so nervous, had to do two takes as I mumbled at the end of one.

Don't sweat it. You aren't a radio/tv personality. It's not always supposed to be natural to you. I can stand in a group and interact with or train a large amount of people without issues, but if you put me in the front of a class with everyone focused and looking at me I get nervous. They most likely can't tell as I have become used to hiding it, but it's really hard for me. Those people you hear on the radio and tv have spent a good amount of time honing their craft.
