omg i am watching through my facepalm! They dance worse than I do and I didn't think that was possible!
ikr? A shambolic effort, especially from Siavash (on the right). What a difference between the Here We Go one and this.

I loathe sport on TV...
Sometimes I feel I'm becoming the fuddiest of all duddies.
For most of my life I've listened to 96fm on the radio in Perth Australia. It's been *my* station since the late 80's. But increasingly I'm going off the station because they only ever seem to play stuff by about 4 musicians - Phil Collins, Meatloaf, Madonna, and Prince. Any one random hour and you will hear at least 1 song from 1 of those 4. I just want to leap down the speakers and throttle the music programmer while screaming "PLAY SOMETHING DIFFERENT OR I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU THE TRUE MEANING OF THE WORD 'SUSUDIO' AND IT AIN'T PRETTY!!!"
BUT... I'm not choosing an alternative contemporary station with similar styles of music like 94.5, 93.7 Nova-fm or such. Nooo... I'm going for 100.1 Curtin-fm which is a publicly funded station operating out of Curtin University. You'd want to think, being a University it'd be hip, trendy, latest alt-music in tune with the youth of the new generation?
Nope. Curtin-fm plays the oldies music ranging from 1956-ish to the mid-80's with a *heavy* emphasis on the mid 60's and 70's. Plus it's the more obscure hits that you'll get to hear. Stuff that if you're my age (58), is something that you might have heard when you were a kid aged 4 - 5 when travelling with mum and dad in the car, or you heard in some random mid afternoon movie on a Saturday while watching TV. BUT! You'll know it. Deep down in the depths of your mind it'll strike a chord and you'll be able to precisely hum along to the song.
Real fuddy-duddy stuff.
And it's GREAT!! Absolutely brilliant!
Sure, being aimed at people who are now mostly retired and can be of a certain age where sitting in the backyard watching the plants grow while sipping a nice cup of tea is considered to be a good way to have spent the afternoon, you get to hear lots of ads for life insurance, funeral homes and assorted social clubs such as the Orchids Growing Club of Perth (no really, they advertise here on Curtin-fm...) but the sheer variety of the music makes up for it in my opinion.
Yeah, I'm getting old.
