The Sound of Normal Music (Week Thirty-Three)


Listen Later

Nothing normal here, once again we dive into another week of teenage diary entries, this time around we're back with my bestie Retna in Amsterdam. Once again there's a LOT to work through, it's been 33 weeks of constant work and it would seem the shine is well and truly wearing off. Inside this episode there’s a celebratory smorgasbord for the 1989 version of me to attend. I do an on air shift that goes extremely well, but I also refer to myself as having motor mouth in my diary entry, so I'm not entirely sure how extremely well it could have possibly been if I'm also acknowledging that there's a stack of verbal diarrhoea behind it's delivery. A new radio announcer moves into the radio station share house, I see Pedro Almodóvar’s “Women on the Verge of Nervous Breakdown” at a film festival, the then successful 80’s Aussie business tycoon, Alan Bond was getting nervous and panic was clearly setting in as he puts our radio station 6KA up for sale. Meanwhile the 1989 pilots dispute kickstarts and it could mean no flights home for my holidays in November, plus I get sassy on air after a listener rings up to suggest I play some 'normal' music, look out random lady because I'm about to get mouthy about how immature you are across the Pilbara, I wonder how my boss Neville will react to that? You'll find out all about it the moment you've stuffed all of this nonsense into your hearing holes.
