Radio Rabies

There have been claims that around 95% of the money raised by Live Aid and Band Aid was siphoned off and used to fund Ethiopian rebels to allegedly buy guns and shit.

At the moment these are just claims but how much would it suck if that was true? The mould breaking charity fundraising event will be tarnished and possibly all those millions of pounds didn’t go where they were intended.

Bob Geldof is rightfully annoyed and hopes that this won’t put people off by donating money to charity. Charity and fundraising has taken a lot of knocks recently what with Bono going around being a bellend and all. Hopefully these claims will be untrue and Bono will stop going around being a condescending cock.

Coincidently you can buy Live Aid on DVD. I don’t think that funds for this will go to the rebels so I wouldn’t worry. Buy the DVD and you can be just like Bono!

The BBC have recently had reports leaked out that they will be downsizing a lot of their content which includes the possible death to 6Music and the Asian Network as well as many features to it’s website and imported shows from America.

There has been quite an outcry from music fans at the possible extinction to the alternative music station 6 Music which as David Bowie described as a station that “keeps the spirit of broadcasters like John Peel alive”. There has been 80,000 or so signature added to a petition to keep the station alive but who knows what they’ll decide.

Maybe if they stopped paying the executives so much that claim so many expenses the BBC would be in a better shape.

I wouldn’t worry though it’s not as if they’re ever going to stop showing “Family Guy” any time soon, and if they did, it’ll soon be on E4 and as far as 6Music, there is a cacophony of internet radio stations that play lots of new music as well as website that help promote new people… just saying…

In this episode I cover a dead duck and a new idea for a competition about dead celebrities. What a way to start off the new year!

This episode has edited highlights from the live radio show that took place here at RadioRabies.com. Shows are live every Friday night at 9pm GMT (with a repeat broadcast at 10pm). Exciting isn’t it?
