Radio Luxembourg was the first radio station in Europe to announce Elvis Presley's death.
This recording starts at 10.41pm and you get to hear the last few songs of Mark Wesley doing a chart rundown. The first sign that anything has happened comes at 10.52pm when Wesley tells listeners to stand by for an important announcement. At 11pm Mark Wesley reads the news and announces Elvis's death, and then it's the Tony Prince show. Prince, close to tears at times, devotes his entire show to Elvis, finishing at 3.45am. Unfortunately this recording only captures the first hour.
Radio Luxembourg, 16th August 1977, 10.41-11.57pm

The Best Prank Call Ever
UGRadio - Rainy Jr. - The Best Prank Call Ever
During 2002 and 2003 UGRadio broadcast live prank calls via shoutcast servers. There was also a chatroom and people submitted the ideas for most of the pranks, usually on someone they knew. They'd give the phone number and some details and the prankers would choose one and make the call... while we'd get to listen to it live.
In January 2003 was possibly the best series of prank calls ever: Rene (pronounced Rainy) Jr. The basic premise is that there's this old guy who hasn't seen his son for years, he was fostered out or something, and the caller (Darkzeus) pretends to be the guys son. It's sick, and in really poor taste, but it's hilarious.
The prank consisted of 6 calls made January 20th-24th & 28th 2003. Sadly nobody seemed to record the 3rd call (lasting around 18 minutes) so that's missing although someone in the chatroom called |JZ| said he was recording it so if anyone has the missing call get in touch! Looking at the chatroom logs some of the stuff in the 3rd call were as follows - some talk about Nintendo GameCube, with Rainy calling it Game Lube, Rainy saying stupid-stupid-stupid a few times, more talk about GameCube games, Rainy mentioned his drug habit, he communicated with his mother twice, more talk about games in which Rainy Sr. said "I'm not too crazy about Excite Bike."
Before the last 2 calls someone who'd been in the chatroom and saw the guys phone number must have tipped him off the calls were a prank, so it takes Darkzeus a lot of talking to explain his way out of it. The guys a genius, such a shame UGRadio isn't pranking any more.
