Does anyone listen to JJJ?

Hi there.....just wondering if anyone out there listens to JJJ.. also wondering if anyone knows if Mel Bampton who did the Mel In the Morning progaram had her baby and what she had. I thought she was due around the end of 05 but never heard anything......just curious is all!! I really liked listening to her show... a cool chick!

Yep! Me! Love the J's!!!

I can't believe you haven't had any other replies to this thread yet!

Unfortunately most of my radio listening was done on the way to work, so I don't listen to much these days - just in the car here & there.

I think Mel Bampton has only gone on maternity leave last month???? I may be wrong, it could have been someone else, but I'm pretty sure it was her.

Looks like we are the only ones with good taste in music!!

Hee hee!!

lol!

I can't even listen to other stations now! It's all just complete & utter rubbish!

No no, wait for me. I read this thread earlier today but small ones prevented me from replying. I'm a JJJ fan also. Cannot stand commercial radio. It drives me insane having to hear all those darky ads. No wonder we're a consumer society. Sorry, I get carried away when it comes to bagging modern media. Back to JJJ. Before children I knew every part of the daily program and was in touch with most bands. These days are a little different, mostly because I don't get the chance to listen in as often and scary as it is to admit, I feel a bit out of touch with new bands. I used to listen to Sarah McDonald in the mornings when I was pregnant with DS#1 and after he was born, when I had it on he would go still as though listening to the familiar voice. I miss her on JJJ. In fact I miss many-Paul McDermott, Mikey Robbins, The Sandman, Adam & Will. I ebven miss Merrick & Rosso (traitors though that they are). So there are more of us out here.
Do you also watch Spicks and Specks? I love this show and it would be about the only TV show I plan to watch. And maybe Black Books when it is on.

When I first started listening to TripleJ, Mikey, Sandy & some chick (can't remember her name ..... Jen possibly?) were doing the breakfast show. I loved Adam & Will (Adam more so than Will) and even grew to not mind Jay & the Doctor. I loved Merrick & Rosso before they became complete sell-outs! I miss listening to super request on my way home from work! I like "hack" which I manage to catch from time-to-time. And I love Dr Karl!! Myf Warhurst's giggle cracks me up!!

I felt a bit sad that I was so out of touch I hardly knew any of the songs in the TripleJ Hottest 100 this year, but am still very proud to say that I have never heard any of the songs in the top 10 charts (in fact, I'm just assuming I haven't, I never do know any! I couldn't even tell you what's in the charts at the moment! My friends were recently horrified that I had never heard a certain J-Lo tune.... apparently "everyone" should have heard it a million times....)

Have you checked out their website lately? It's very good! (Ps: I just left a message for her on the guestbook asking about her baby!)

I'm a big JJJ's fan also. There was a public holiday in Perth today and DH was home, so I haven't been on line.

There was a thread on here a couple of months ago on this same subject, so there's a few of us out there...

**tickle** · 07-03-2006 07:07

I think I started that one Pegasus. It was ages ago though.
You can put me on the list, although I don't really get much time to listen anymore.....I even missed the Hottest 100.

Hack would have to be my favourite segment.

Does this include people who listen to JJJ because they have to? Every morning at 6am I am assulted with the loudest horrid music. On the hour long drive in to work I have to listen to the stupidest inane chatter and more horrid music. It is only on the hour-long drive home that I get to listen to hack. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind JJJ, I listened to parts of hottest 100 voluntarily, but Jay and the Doctor and their taste in music is off! The only good thing about their show is Space Goat. I think I'm still pining for Adam and Will! Myf is great, Hack is surprisingly interesting and informative, but I am going round the twist because DH listens to those stupid morning boys! Can't think of anything worse to wake up to! I'm actually looking forward to a crying baby waking me! No, seriously!

Well... guess that said it all. Hope you got a good laugh out of my rant.

Good to see some more JJJ fans out there!!
Kacey - Jay and the Doctor's tatse in music is a bit more old school grunge than what Adam & Will used to play, but it's good to know at least they are playing what they want and not what the Top 40 trash record execs dictate to commercial stations. Glad to see you enjoy other aspects of the J's tho!
Fiona - I started tuning in the J's when Mikey & Helen Razor did the mornings. Remember when Judith Lucy was on too? She was great too.
Sal - i love watching Spicks & Specks too...Mfy rocks, she's really good at it

it is hard to keep tuned in as often as we did as free n' easy kid-less gals...we should listen online while we are bubhubbing!!
Rock on ladies!
