I love that the sober irishman is no longer sober and was never irish. Hahaha!

Drinking tastes good and makes you feel good! Who do you want to be like, johnm and niveous or THE KELLIS AND THE BLUE AND THE SPUD?

I got the new album for free. From Fanatic, delivered to my radio email. And I thought... Hey, I know who State Shirt is.

I'm only ever myself. Who else would I be?

Also, thanks jim + paco -- my birthday was great. Hopefully I'll see both of you in Spokane next year.

He hasn't announced he's running yet, just that he's launched an exploratory campaign to consider running. So, to dash your hopes: 1. guy is born 2. guy launches exploratory committee 3. guy decides to run 4. guy runs for big-party candidacy 5. guy is chosen to be the big-party nominee 6. guy is el...

Those must be old pictures, spud. I don't see the bottle opener.

I hate to give any more publicity to this company, but I was going through my mail at my office (still am) and I got two pieces of mail from BFRP today. The same CD, twice, addressed to the current Station Manager and the Music Director before me (and I've been on the job for 15 months). To me that ...

I miss Lone Star so much. Which is a dumb thing to miss, because who cares about Lone Star Beer? But I do. And now I'll stop congesting your thread.

Yeah, jb, you're right. And about Bryan's reply: I can of course only speak with regards to non-commercial, college radio, but I stand by what I've written.

Do I see a bottle of Shiner Bock? Delicious.

marcus + stu in for this one, under a new artist name.

I've been writing a column for the student newspaper. Here's what I have so far: Best of 2008's First Half, Pt. I Best of 2008's First Half, Pt. II Interview with The Octopus Project , from Austin, TX My Texas Adventure , the edited Twitter log of my SXSW visit And then there's this , which has link...

Their EP "Please Clap Your Hands" is worth checking out too. I like "Polite Dance Song" and "How Deep Is Your Love," a Bee Gees cover.

Yeah, the punchline I want to deliver here is that if you're interested in doing a college radio promotional blitz, you can do better. There are lists here and there for musicians to mail CDs out themselves, but what a promoter does is lend their reputation to a project, use their established rappor...

Warning: this is a post about my job. I'm in charge of deciding what new music gets made available to DJs and what doesn't. Some stations mandate that DJs play so much new music, or have a high rotation, a medium rotation, and a low rotation section. We're freeform, so DJs at KUOI can play as much o...

Roll Call: My coworkers are killing me today. They can't handle the simplest shit. QotD: Anyone who reads the boards probably has seen me talk up Dead Kennedys before. Anyone who just listens to my music might be surprised to find that I'm a big fan. I think Fresh Fruit is a way solid album. I made...

I'm what's known as "Straight Edge". What does that have to do with having criminal skills? Being straight edge means no alcohol, no smoking and no recreational drugs. It's more about not getting involved in dependent lifestyles. Knowing how to pick a lock or being skilled at sneaking int...

In my convenience store days, I would sell products to people that weren't supposed to be buying them if I knew them personally. I am not sure I understand what you are saying. Could you provide an example? he sold cigarettes and beer to minors. and didn't clearly express his thought. that's what m...

The direction's impeccable, and DDL pulled off a very good performance as Daniel Plainview. The cinematography's pretty cool but the music really works with the direction and the acting and the script to create, I felt, a very effective film. I don't know what you're missing, maybe you don't like go...

Regrettably, that's the only, and complete (excepting my fadeout at the end), aural history of the event, so far as I'm now aware.

Here are two pictures:

More to come, I think.
