Radio Active Swoon

I listen to Radio Active online. I don't have a stereo at my house so it's online or nothing. It does cost me a fortune in download fees (I have one of those annoying mobile broadband things) however it's ok because I know Radio Active will always come through for me.

Radio Active started life as the student radio station for Victoria University but then it was sold to Radio Active Ltd at some point in the 1990s (oh thank you Wikipedia). It specialises in alternative but amazing music. All the DJ's are pretty great but there's this one girl who gets the nod for first choice person around Wellington.

She occasionally does the Drive show there and she cracks me up. Her name is Gemma. She plays music I haven't heard before that I always want to hear again and again, tells funny stories, and is generally just pretty choice. A bit of internet stalking reveals she is the info pimp for Radio Active. Basically, she's the epitome of cool for the day.

Tomorrow's installment will feature a certain barista that I'm a bit in love with...
