Art imitates life... you hearing me?

So I saw this movie trailer last night for an upcoming movie called Pirate Radio and I can't wait to see it now. I think the movie has a lot going for it, well in my opinion at least. It's a British film and I like a lot of those movies for one. It also has a number of actors I've grown to like as well. That comes from watching a lot of British Films of course.

Anyway, after watching it, I thought it appeared to have been based on real life events. In fact its sets in the sixties and turns out to be loosely based on a ship that broadcast under the name Radio Caroline.

Reading up on this movie led me to the web site for Radio Caroline and I began to really learn some of the facts that the movie was based on. What is really cool is that this very old Broadcast Channel is still on the air today and playing some really good tunes.

In this day where things tend to be mainly All Talk and our Media moves at a very fast pace, its refreshing to find a station that reminds me of the older days of spinning just music in most cases and then hearing a DJ come on an talk a little bit about whats being played.

It just happens to be a plus for me to hear some British accents from the DJ. I grew up on the format of most of these old Classic rock songs. I think I've found a new Internet Live Stream to listen to from time to time at least and I'm looking forward to the movie and learning more about the real life events surrounding Radio Caroline.

Here's a trailer for the upcoming movie Pirate Radio.
