It's All Music: Oh Mercy and Alexandra Burke

One is known for her vocal gymnastics and being a contestant on a big budget reality television talent contest, the other is a Melbournian band described as dreary in all the right ways. It's yet another night of contrast tonight on Diff'rent Strokes.

Dan Vo of the Fool and the Opera fame is sitting in with Jade tonight, while Dave continues to play tourist all over Asia.



Melbourne indie kids Oh Mercy drop in and play a couple of songs live and to talk about their upcoming trek to SXSW, their second album and how they're too young to know Full House.


Dave even while overseas is never far from our ears tonight treating them to another Album in the Blend this time talking Alexandra Burke's album, Overcome.

Catch Diff'rent Strokes tonight 10pm on JOY 94.9

Diff'rent Strokes Drive

Jade and Dave are filling in for Bridget on the Campervan this evening.

Join us for a Diff'rent Strokes Drive Home.

(Move over Tyra... our very own Jade The Model is coming for your crown!)

We'll be doing our signature Shoe Swap as always:

It's all in the strut, pout and knowing your angles as 'Jade learns to model'.

Meanwhile 'Dave Becomes a New Media Geek' gives you the low down on blogging and podcasting.

Have you ever had someone that, like, got all up in yo' grill?

Dave will give a Guide To: Personal Space and how to best assert your private boundaries.

On the flip side - it has become apparent that common sense not that common anymore!

Jade's Guide To: Common Sense will hopefully help define what should be general knowledge or understanding - and when you're just plain clueless!

(From Girls Aloud and Ben Lee to Madame Butterfly?)

We'll also be having the delightful Dan Vo, host of The Fool and The Opera in to introduce Jade and Dave to opera. We can be cultured, right?

And finally, we'll crack open a Diff'rent Strokes classic with Jade Journals - ever wonder what a typical conversation between Jade's parents are like? Oh! The things our parents say.

It's going to be a very Diff'rent Strokes Wednesday indeed!

On top of filling in for drive... Jade and Dave will be returning for their usual hour of power from 10pm-11pm tonight as well.

A Diff'rent Strokes Drive Home

Today 4pm-7pm on JOY 94.9

Jade, The Opera

Jade's crazy stunts to get on Neighbours has been an ongoing theme of Diff'rent Strokes when we aren't Shoe Swapping, so how could she pass the opportunity to sit in with the Fool and the Opera's, Dan Vo when he interviewed Jan Russ and Maggie Haggart about their show, Silly Old Buggers.

Hear the resulting rant that is, Jade the Opera.

To find out more about the Put Jade on Neighbours campaign, watch Jade's reality show, featuring David Lim, Diff'rent Strokes intern, Airquotes Dave, and Luke Axelby assisting Jade with an acoustic version of Jade's Song (What Would Ben Lee Do?)
