Sophie Brous
Presents Dance Cadaverous
How did you first connect with Triple R?
I think Tim Thorpe was blaring when I was conceived because the station was just always there as I grew up. During my high school years I was a rabid listener to get me through the study grind. I started doing graveyards when I was 17 and moved to fills for shows like Delivery and The Village. My family would have Friday night competitions to see who could win the Skullcave quiz with the most idiotic name - I think ‘Mungo' won in the end. I haven't let the station shake me off since.
What/when was your first show?
I started Dance Cadaverous in July 2007.
What's your favourite Triple R moment?
Tough. Would have to sit somewhere between the infamous but unkosher ‘piggy sex' talk with Always/Alex Vivian and the I'd Rather Jack radiothon show this year when Clem Bastow and I reinterpreted Aaliyah's ‘Try Again' a la Manhattan Transfer. My music education was finally realised.
Your favourite other Triple R program and why?
Right now I'd have to say Against the Arctic Every week we get to hear the result of Declan's hundreds of hours above stinky garage sale music bins, it's a great show ...has anyone noticed he and Richard Moffatt have exactly the same voice on-air? Spooky.
What does Triple R mean to you?
Molto enorme.
The studio door has accidentally jammed shut with you stuck inside. If there was only one CD in there with you what would you want it to be and why?
Place des Abbesses - Luc Ferrari or Glow - Chris Abrahams. Actually all I'd need is a fan whirring and I'd be fine.
