ISSUE 10 EDITORIAL
Live music is the life-blood of so many Melbournian’s. Every night of the week from one side of the city to the other, and then some, punters and musos gather in the ritual of giving and receiving. For over 25 years PBS FM has been a major propellant in this town’s music scene. The station has supported the locals and along the way it’s brought you artists from every corner of the globe...

JOHN MCLAUGHLIN
I had more lessons from him in every aspect of music than I could possibly imagine. I dream about him sometimes Len. An inspiration is almost not the word; he saved me in a way. What he did in music, I mean even on my iPod you know I’ve got some of the latest things, some of the stuff we did together like Aura with Palle Mikkleborg, we did that in Denmark...

DEFENDING THE (ALMOST) INDEFENSIBLE: CHRISTMAS MUSIC
There’s all kinds of irony in the fact that the music which is intended to celebrate peace and harmony, actually does more to antagonise otherwise peaceful and harmonious people. There’s just something about the genre that makes people uneasy. First, there’s the music itself, most of which is crap; we can all agree on that.

PLAYER’S WORKTIME
PBS writer, Andy Cole, speaks with a few notable figures around the Melbourne musical traps to enquire how they make ends meet and navigate the world of work, while trying to spend as much time doing what they really love—writing, recording and playing; and by extension, creating a soundtrack for the weekday drudgery of nine-to-five hacks everywhere.

ANNOUNCER PROFILE: P.KING - RADIO DE JANIERO
As a child growing up in Hong Kong I listened obsessively to the radio. It was this medium, not television, that enthralled me, stimulated my imagination and connected me to the larger world. Radio listening, the intensely private activity that it is, was how I remember spending my school holidays.

ANNOUNCER PROFILE: JESSE I - CHANT DOWN BABYLON
After finishing high school in 1996, I moved to Melbourne and began learning the city by taking public transport to every second-hand record shop listed in the yellow pages. Soon I had scoured the reggae bins all over town, picking up as many old LPs as my very meager telemarketing income would allow.

ANNOUNCER PROFILE: KENE LIGHTFOOT - BURNING BITUMEN
From that Black Sabbath high school re-discovery, my descent into metal had begun. I saw every metal-based show possible for an underage person—from David Lee Roth to Metallica to Iron Maiden. It wasn’t until the mid to late eighties, with the advent of tape trading, that I started hearing bands like Kreator, Slayer and DRI, it was then that I discovered the intense music I was craving.
