The Usual

The Usual - Born in a Storm

I grew up by the radio and as a devoted listener to swedish Radio P3 I dreamed of one day making my own radio show. One day when I was a student at Linköping University I approached the student radio asking if they needed help. They did. I think it was 1999 when I was about to make my first 'dry' radio show. That is, I was supposed to meet a person called "MiB" at the studio rehearsing, training and learning the technology. But MiB was in a hurry and he had apparently already decided I was smart enough to get the technology right away so instead of practicing, he left me for other business nearby and I was immediately live on the air. One thing I loved working with radio was all the new promos comming in. One day we got a South African music promo CD with a group called 'The Usual'. Iv'e been looking for them ever since and so it happend to of my friends went to South Africa for holliday. I kindly asked them to look out for the Usual if possible and they did which I am very gratefull for. Big thanks.
