Glad to announce that the new version of the Radio ARA website is live.

I am gradually uploading our episodes, which you can stream or download.

There is an RSS feed here https://www.radioara.org/feed/podcast/the-house-is-rockin/ which you can use in most media players to get automatically updated with new episodes.

There is also functionality to play the episodes as a podcast and once I know more about on which platforms you can find it I will post here.

For now, all our episodes continue to be available via the Dropbox link on this page.

T-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies are all available to order! Check the designs out on the post on this page :)

Ride safe.

Hard pass for me on this project. Sorry for the singer trying her best.

Trying hard to find quality new Rockin’ music for the show.

Whether labelled as punk or rock, it’s all over-produced and polished and everything sounds like either pop or a wall of noise.

Julien-K can Frame|work please help save the industry?!

My kind of guy definitely. Listen to today’s show 114 from the link on our page to hear about me embarrassing myself in a similar way.

In the infamous "Lake Minnetonka" scene of "Purple Rain" (1984), Apollonia Kotero actually jumped into freezing cold water. In fact, it snowed an hour after filming. Four takes in she developed hypothermia and the film's star Prince was scared that she could actually die, but she wanted to keep going. Her takes were moved to Los Angeles, contributing to continuity errors throughout the scene such as wet and dry hair.
Prince intended to cast Vanity, leader of the girl group Vanity 6, in Apollonia's role but she left the group before filming began. Her role was initially offered to Jennifer Beals (who turned it down because she wanted to concentrate on college) before going to Apollonia, a virtual unknown at the time. Prince had seen her appearance in an episode of "Tales of the Gold Monkey," in which she played a saucy island girl who was sleeping with a German man of the cloth. Excluding Prince and his onscreen parents, almost every character in the movie is named after the actor who plays him or her.
An early, simpler version of the unpronounceable symbol that Prince changed his name to during his dispute with Warner Bros. Records is painted on the side of his motorcycle's gas tank in the film. It also appears on a wall of the overpass his motorcycle rides under during "When Doves Cry."
Three different Honda motorcycles portray Prince's motorcycle. He rides a highly stylized 1981 Hondamatic CB400A automatic with spoked wheels and custom faring, handlebars, seats, and sissy bar. Stunt riders rode 2 manual CB400s made to look like his bike.
Director Albert Magnoli told Rolling Stone that when the concept was first brought to Warner Bros., they suggested that John Travolta should play Prince. (IMDb/Wikipedia)
Happy Birthday, Prince!

There is a theory that Pink Floyd's album 'The Dark Side of The Moon' was conceived, constructed and produced as a musical accompaniment to the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz.
The theory's origins date back to the mid-1990s, when fans began posting on Pink Floyd websites the synchronicities that resulted from simultaneously watching the film and listening to the album. Soon these fan sites provided detailed instructions for experimenting with these audiovisual parallels. Viewers are typically told to start the movie and start playing the album at MGM's trademark third roar of the lion; if the music starts when the writing “Produced by Mervin Leroy” appears on the screen, the synchronization is correct and the coincidences begin:

1) Immediately after the words "look around" in Breathe, Dorothy turns around;
2) The words “balancing on the biggest wave” accompany Dorothy balancing on a fence;
3) At the words “no one told you when to run” Dorothy breaks into a trot;
4) The Great Gig in The Sky begins just as the tornado arrives and ends when it stops;
5) Many aspects of the Munchkin scene coordinate with Money;
6) The chimes of Time coincide with the appearance of the Wicked Witch of the West;
and so on, with several websites claiming 70 to 100 moments of synchronicity.
Although band members have dismissively refuted any association between the album and the film, enthusiasm for the theory continues unabated.
