Erk FM: Australia 510 – Scudley Flashback

Thu, 18 Dec 2014 22:00:55 +0000

Welcome to Erk FM: Australia episode 510. On this episode, Erk combines what were formerly 3 separate Erk FM episodes. The episode opens with Peter Renzullo from Scudley Records, based in Perth. His aim has been and continues to be to promote live & original music in Perth. Like many other musicians and promoters in Perth, Peter has found that distance can be an issue for bands from eastern Australia to travel to Perth so to counter that, the local music scene must be strong. After the interview, Erk features local Perth artists that Scudley Records were working with at the time of the interview in early 2010. The Scudley Records produced album that features was called Folklore.

The episode opens with Erk's interview with Alison Avron who is a singer/songwriter, singing coach & a venue owner in Sydney. The second interview is with Helen Perris who is a singer/songwriter, a music coach and also a mother - the latter becomes plainly obvious during the interview but was entertaining nonetheless. As becomes clear in both interviews, Alison & Helen work well together and enjoy each other's company on & off stage. Finally, Erk features Lee Safar who apart from being a musician is also an entrepreneur. Most notably, Lee has just launched her new clothing line along with other merchandise & accessories.

A few days later, Erk interviews guitarist Matt Stevens. In 2014, Erk repeated the trip and was able to catch up with several of the people you'll hear on the first section of the episode before heading across town with Ro from DarkCompass to watch Matt Stevens live.

Erk Pod 524 – Erk’s Pacamerican Circle Day 56 57 (Singapore/Sydney)

Thu, 02 Oct 2014 09:00:08 +0000

Welcome to Erk Pod episode 524. It is the end of this trip with Erk departing Singapore & arriving home in Sydney. It was a lot of fun bringing you along for the ride over 57 days & 5 countries outside Australia. Podcast content was recorded every single day of the 57 day trip with content being uploaded to the internet as an Audioboo message in 5 minute snippets up to 20 or more times a day on most days of the trip. In total, there was content recorded for 73 Erk Pod episodes during the trip, 5 episodes of Erk FM: Metal Monday, 2 episodes of Erk To The Diary Room & around 5 episodes of On The Rails With Erk. In addition, the trip saw the creation of another concept - Erk To The White Courtesy Phone. Erk hopes that you have enjoyed traveling with him & thanks you for listening to Erk's Pacamerican Circle episodes of Erk Pod. Thanks also must go to the various people who entertained, amused and supplied good times to Erk (as well as a place to sleep in some cases).

Erk Pod 522 – Erk’s Pacamerican Circle Day 55 (Singapore Malaysia)

Sat, 27 Sep 2014 10:00:25 +0000

Welcome to Erk Pod episode 522. On this episode, Erk leaves the city & country of Singapore & heads to Jonor Bahru, Malaysia. Erk's original plan was to walk over the causeway joining the two countries however new immigration buildings on the Malaysian side means that this is no longer possible. Not wanting to hire a car or other vehicle, Erk decides that there is still a way to do this - public transport! Catching a couple of trains from near his Singapore hotel to the train station near the border checkpoint, he catches a bus to the Singapore exit point. Leaving the bus, he goes upstairs & gets his passport stamped to say he is leaving Singapore. Boarding another bus, he crosses the causeway by road & ends up on the Malaysian side. Leaving the bus again, he goes upstairs to the Malay entry point for another passport stamp. The process is repeated on the way back to Singapore.

Welcome to Erk Pod episode 520. Erk is now starting to enjoy Singapore more than he did when he first arrived after an awesome week in Japan. Singapore was a convenient way to break up the trip between Japan and Australia & has not been a city of Erk's "must explore" list.

Erk FM: Australia 484 – Reflecting Self Centredly

Thu, 18 Sep 2014 22:00:27 +0000

Welcome to Erk FM: Australia episode 484. This is a re-presentation of Erk FM episode 174 originally released in June 2011. This episode is an interview with Symon (guitar) and Allan (drums) from western Sydney progressive metal band Centred Self. Music supplied directly by the band. During the interview, we find out how Centred Self got its name, how the band got together, recording and rehearsing, drumming, the live music scene in Sydney & a lot more. On the day of this interview, Symon & Allan were pre-producing drum tracks at Party Pig Studios in the early stages of producing the forthcoming Centred Self debut album. This album was planned for late 2010 but never saw the light of day, sadly. Among other things, Allan is now drumming successfully for metal band Dawn Heist while Symon ran away and joined the circus ... um, not really. It makes for an interesting headline, though!

A lot has happened after this interview occurred. Soon after the interview, Erk travelled across Europe and formulated the idea for Erk FM: International & Erk FM: Australia and how they would work while he was overseas. The idea for Erk FM: Metal Monday was only very young at this stage. As Erk is wrapping up Erk FM's non metal shows in early 2015, this is a perfect time to look back at this interview & reflect.

Keep listening at the end of the interview for Erk's very first attempt at playing drums as well as some entertaining out-takes & bloopers!

Centred Self Song list:

Neverland
Waveform
Measure of Madness

Dawn Heist Song list:

Timewave Zero
Nine Worlds
Scarecrow

Mon, 15 Sep 2014 09:00:59 +0000

Welcome to Erk Pod episode 519. Erk is midway through his stay in Singapore & is enjoying exploring the city. A good way of exploring a city initially is on foot & Erk has certainly been doing a lot of walking. There's certainly more to see & do than Erk initially thought!

Erk FM: Australia 482 – Remembering Bigsound

Thu, 11 Sep 2014 22:00:26 +0000

Welcome to Erk FM: Australia episode 482. This encore episode sees the beginning of a range of content from the Bigsound 2013 conference/showcase in Brisbane a year ago. Bringing together a range of musicians & music industry people from Australia and beyond), it was an exciting conference for Erk FM. It was a great way to meet people that I have only spoken to online and/or heard online via this podcast. There were days of conference sessions that I did not attend as well as 2 nights of live music across 12 venues in Fortitude Valley.

As you might be able to imagine, I was in podcasting & music heaven. However, I was (obviously) unable to cover the entire event because there's only so much one person (me!) can do.

On this week's episode, there are interviews conducted over 2 days of various artists. Over 2 days, there were over 250 interviews conducted by various media & new media outlets. A very big thank you to Stephen, Andrew & Sarah from SGC Media for arranging these interviews & my media accreditation. Big thank you also to my media/band liaison people Laura & Maddi for making sure that the bands & I were in the same place at the same time for these interviews.

Erk Pod 517 – Erk’s Pacamerican Circle Day 51 (Singapore)

Thu, 11 Sep 2014 09:00:56 +0000

Welcome to Erk Pod episode 517. Erk has just arrived in Singapore. Out of all the places that Erk has gone on this trip, Singapore is the place that Erk has least looked forward to. For one reason, it is a step closer to the end of the trip. Second, Singapore has been a country & a city that Erk has had no special reason to visit or no overwhelming desire to visit before now. Thirdly, Erk has to fly via Singapore to/from Japan rather than direct because his airline of choice does not fly there (Australia - Japan) directly. Regardless, Erk has selected to spend a week in Singapore so let's see what happens!

Erk FM: Australia 476 – Western Australian Sampler

Thu, 21 Aug 2014 22:00:48 +0000

Welcome to Erk FM: Australia episode 476. Erk continues his musical trip around Australia courtesy of AirPlay Direct, this time visiting Perth & Western Australia. Many local bands have issues traveling outside of Western Australia due to distance while many bands do not visit Western Australia for the same reason. It is so far between the west coast and the east coast of Australia that it is quicker and easier to fly to New Zealand from the east coast of Australia rather than fly to Western Australia. It has been said that Western Australia feels like another country due to the distances involved.

Erk To The Diary Room 23 – Wandering Around Asian TV

Thu, 20 Mar 2014 07:00:11 +0000

Welcome to Erk To The Diary Room episode 23. This episode was recorded in two halves from different parts of Asia. The episode opens in a hotel room in Tokyo, Japan. Like the previous episode, Erk samples hotel room TV. However on this episode, there is an Asian theme. The second half of the episode was recorded in Singapore. While both countries are in Asia, they are very different. Japan is highly Japanese (thank you, Captain Obvious!) with all of the TV that Erk sampled being in the Japanese language. While there was English around Tokyo in general society, Japanese is by far the dominant language. However in Singapore, there is more of a mix in languages with variations of Chinese, Indian, Malaysian, Singaporean & western cultures & languages. The episode was recorded on Erk's iPad & the multitasking was not quite up to the job which meant that there may be some gaps in the recording.

Erk To The Diary Room 22 – Wandering Around American TV

Fri, 14 Mar 2014 09:00:38 +0000

Welcome to Erk To The Diary Room episode 22. Recorded in Vegas in January 2014, Erk goes for a trip around the TV like he has done previously in Mexico. There will be another episode in this style during Erk's overseas trip early in 2014 from Japan & Singapore. Listeners to Erk Pod will also receive this episode as an Erk Pod episode.

Erk To The Diary Room 21 – Disaster Porn At Breakfast

Fri, 15 Nov 2013 21:00:24 +0000

Welcome to Erk To The Diary Room episode 21. Recorded from Erk's car, Erk shares the TV that he has been watching during the October 2013 bushfires that have burnt around the fringes of Sydney. Erk usually does not watch breakfast TV but due to being on fire duty on nightshifts, breakfast TV was a sign for Erk that it was almost time to go home. Erk talks about what he calls Disaster Porn. There's also some thoughts about the 2013 series of Big Brother Australia.

Erk To The Diary Room 20 – Back To The Block

Sat, 12 Oct 2013 10:00:10 +0000

Welcome to episode 20 of Erk To The Diary Room. Erk is in Melbourne for his birthday & visits the location of Channel 9's The Block: Sky High & chats about other TV shows he has been watching. He also goes to a Melbourne landmark for a visit. There is a bit of a crossover between the latter part of this episode of Erk To The Diary Room & Erk's travel podcast Erk Pod. Erk had not finished releasing Erk Pod episodes from his trip to America in January/February 2013 so featuring content from August 2013 on Erk Pod in the middle of the American content would have been strange. You'll hear the Melbourne comedy earworm that Erk had stuck in his head (see the shownotes for the video) & a lot lot more.

Erk To The Diary Room 19 – Erk’s TV Watching Has Been Sky High!

Wed, 24 Jul 2013 10:00:10 +0000

Erk knows that it has been a while since an episode of Erk To The Diary Room! However, a big problem with hosting a TV & entertainment podcast is that you have to watch TV to do it. For some shows, this is easy. But if you like watching the sort of shows Erk likes to talk about, you just can't want one episode & that's it. While some of these shows are weekly, others are daily or at least several times a week.

Sneak peeks are annoying as are shows that promise so much every year but deliver nothing. Also, is social media helpful or not when it comes to watching TV?

Erk To The Diary Room 18 – Life In Suburbia

Sat, 18 May 2013 22:00:53 +0000

Welcome to episode 18 of Erk To The Diary Room. On this episode, Erk takes a look at life in suburbia according to TV featuring two very different examples. Opening the episode with Portlandia, Erk relates how he thinks that Portlandia falls into the "Funny because it's true" category. Erk has been to Portland OR where the series is based & found that because he can identify with the people and places, he can relate to the show more than someone who has no idea about anything PDX.

Looking closer to home, Erk then talks about Housos. There's a line of progression from pizza delivery (Pizza), couriering (Swift & Shift Couriers) and suburban living (Housos) in Sydney. Many of the cast appear on all three programs which usually feature a lot of strong language, unrealistic scenes and some low brow humour. All 3 shows do have their moments of laugh out loud humour, though. There are some B & C grade celebrities familiar to Australian viewers that might not translate well for American viewers.

There's a quick update about The Block: Sky High (Erk couldn't think of the full name of the show at the time!) and Wentworth.

Erk To The Diary Room 17 – On The Inside, The Roses Grow

Fri, 03 May 2013 16:24:15 +0000

Welcome to episode 17 of Erk To The Diary Room. On this episode, Erk discusses the 2013 version of Prisoner (also known as Prisoner: Cell Block H) called Wentworth. Prisoner was one of Australia's longest running drama series & was ground-breaking at the time. It was also one of the few adult shows that Erk was able to watch as a child - not that he understood everything that was going on.

Erk also reviews the latest series of fire department drama - Chicago Fire. It was so realistic that local media thought that a made-for-TV plane crash was the real thing and reported it as a real plane crash. Oops.

Erk To The Diary Room 16 – Back From The Home Of TV!

Mon, 08 Apr 2013 14:42:20 +0000

Welcome to episode 16 of Erk To The Diary Room. On the first episode of 2013, Erk has returned from America, the spiritual home of TV. However due to his tight schedule & doing touristy things, Erk did not actually watch a lot of TV in America. He did, however, watch some TV in Mexico. This will be the subject of a future episode.
This episode was recorded in Erk's car as usual (for this podcast at least). However, he has a new microphone for his iPhone that he uses to record this podcast. The Rode iXY microphone plugs into the bottom of the iPhone but this does present some first world podcaster problems as Erk will mention.
On returning home, Erk has been catching up on TV. While he was away, The Block All Stars was being shown on Channel 9 in Australia. Meant as a way to bring back couples from previous series but up the pressure on them, they had to complete a house restoration & renovation in 6 weeks. Erk spoke about The Block's 2012 season on episode 2 (Australia) & episode 13 (New Zealand). He also visited the location of 2012's series in Melbourne on episode 14.

Partly linked to his new railway podcast on Channel Erk (On The Rails With Erk), Erk discusses a railway documentary season that he watched on You Tube called The Railway: Keeping Britain On Track. Similar to other similar English shows he spoke about in episode 4, this is a rarely seen side to the inner workings of a complex railway organisation. It is a BBC production but due to their geo-blocking policies, Erk was only able to see it here via You Tube.
Speaking on UK series, Erk has been watching Truckers on BBC Knowledge (Foxtel). Shown on Channel 5 in the UK, the series is based on the happenings of the Eddie Stobart company. Erk briefly speaks about how the show has grown & the truckers themselves are becoming stars thanks to the show & social media.

Welcome to episode 15 of Erk To The Diary Room. On this episode, Erk discusses season 21 of The Amazing Race (US) and differences between the original series (US) and a foreign version (Australia). There's also some series link fail so Erk hasn't seen Beauty & The Geek Australia. He has seen Richard Hammond's Crash Course, talks briefly about Undercover Boss & then talks about a short break for this show while Erk goes to the home of TV in January/February 2013.
