Streamer's Long Tapes 

Streamer loves making long tapes.  These are known as 'Standby Tapes' and are an important tool for 2RRR.  They are put to air when an announcer can't make it into the station or there is no show currently scheduled for that time slot.  Some tapes are for general use, and others are used for a specific show at a specific times slot.

Streamer's general tapes are most frequently used on Sunday night into Monday morning and early Wednesday morning.

These long programs are recorded onto video tapes, usually on long play mode.

Below are links to the playlists for her efforts so far. 

  • The Music Library Volume 3  (8 hours): So much great music, so little time!  This tape has rock, pop, electronica, world and blues.  Featuring some of the arrivals from a few months prior to October 2003 and some tracks from very early 2RRR Music Library stock.  Recorded 23 October 2003.
  • The Music Library Volume 2  (4 hours): Another show where Streamer takes some of her favourite finds from the 2RRR music library.  Recorded 27 September 2003.
  • The Music Library Volume 1  This tape has now been retired as it was damaged.
    (4 hours): Streamer takes some of her favourite finds from music sent to the 2RRR music library - concentrating on music arriving early in the second half of 2003.  Also featured is the album 'Eternal Chapters' - a double CD compilation of Gothic music put together by Leigh* who is the presenter of 2RRR's Gothic Music and Information Show - Sacrament Radio.  Recorded 20 September 2003.
  • Smorgasbord  This tape has now been retired as it was damaged.
    (8 hours): Streamer teams with PawlJ to present music mostly from 2000-2002 and mostly from local talent. 
  • Chris Barbe (from 2RRR's Tuesday night French program - Trampoline) presents 2 hours of World Music in the middle of this tape.
    Recorded Boxing Day 2002.
  • Dog Biscuits  (8 hours): (no Sing alongs, but a lot of Streamer's favourite music).  Recorded May, June, July 2002 (yes, a LOT of problems encountered when making this tape!!!!!)
  • Hot Dog  (8 hours): (featuring Sing along with Streamer, oldies, obscure stuff spot & 3-from-1-artist segments).  Recorded Christmas Eve into Christmas morning 2001
  • Unnamed  (8 hours): (featuring Sing along with Streamer & oldies)
    THIS TAPE VANISHED during 2003 and therefore will no longer be heard
  • Unnamed  This tape has been retired due to Streamer deciding it wasn't good anymore.
    (6 hours): (featuring female artists, except for Harry Nilssen's great story album, 'The Point').  Recorded October 2000
Dancing Paws
Other Tapes
  • Soul Food (with Mary Ellen) (8 hour): - yes Streamer is one of the Anonymous Soul Sisters - Scribe Soul, with Mary Ellen as Panel Soul.
  • Blues (with Mary Ellen) (8 hour): (unfortunately, this tape 'vanished' presumably stolen - a big BOO & HISS to the taker)
  • Transmission (4 hour): (Transmission is a show done by various 2RRR announcers, aired between 1am & 6am Thursdays, it is now a 5 hour show so you'll probably not hear this one unless the show shrinks back again to 4 hours)
