(Non Radio)(Article) E.R

Image
For anyone in England who does not know about this, or at least heard about it but not seen it. E.R or Emergency was created by Michael Crichton. Yes the guy who wrote, Jurassic Park. Until i saw the first season and the documentry, i had no idea why it was so successful and why it lasted 15 seasons.  This is one of the longest running serials i know of on U.S TV and English TV for that matter( It was imported to Channel 4) The one main reason, why this series got popular so quick, was the pace.  The idea was to have the camera move from room to room, with split seconds of storyline, like you were switching TV channels.  It worked, thats the basic idea behind ER. In reality, it is also this exhausting and you do get sucked in,....yes, i got sucked in.  E.R can be compared to the England TV series, casualty.  Casualty has a slower pace than E.R.  Its also very interesting is that E.R has a striking resemblance to American TV series from the 70s, M.A.S.H.  Its not the setting, but

( New Release review) Jet Noir - Signs

Image
The Gothic Queen keeps on belting out the Trance beats This is a fresh cut, solo release, non album, which has been released today, on Valentines Day Not reserving any punches, deep gritty, Trance magnificence, coming from the darkness of her soul.  Considering many tunes you here these days seem flat and souless, Jet Noir comes from another direction and place and delivers in Trance form. Builds slowly, drawing you in with a nice rolling thumping beat and well timmed and crafted synths. This tune has a 90s feel to it, reminds you of the dance act Capella. As always, great vocals from Jet Angelic cords                                                         To buy       Facebook   Management

( Non Radio) (Article) X factor style Wrestling

Image
I have recently been watching, The legends of wrestling on Youtube. This is a panel of wrestlers young and old, talking on various wrestling subjects, like the Canadian effect and families In this modern age, wrestling has got really weak, in terms of content and i often wondered why. Have the companies had to calm things down on screen due to their audience getting younger? I went to Youtube and watched some documentries and i found a few things that changed wrestling attitudes. The real wresting as in chain wrestling, or mat wrestling as its called, is the original wrestling.  This dates back to when wrestling first started and circus acts, upto the 1920s.  The first turning point and death of actual wrestling, was when someone printed the ' All will tell' of wrestling. Over the next few years, wrestling went back to territories, but something else was changing.. Wrestlers we becoming actors.  From real wrestling to performance wrestling At the start, matches were ver
