These past couple of weeks the twin City airwaves have seen the start of a new radio station run by public radio that plays what they are calling an anti-format.

radio's dead. It's not even worth paying attention to anymore. Your best bet is to get an MP3 player and just put it on shuffle.
Wanna be's
I'm watching my Homicide Discs and there's an episode that deals with a bunch of wanna be spies. Men who's fathers had been trained during the cold war to be spies and warriors, and the sons had failed to be as tough as their fathers. It got me thinking, that the world my father and his father lived in seemed to be filled...

Shit man, I'm sitting on a TON of interesting bootlegs that came from Doug himself-several CDs worth of unreleased demo songs, an alternate mix version of the Ear Candy album, etc.

Homicide Life on the Streets season 6 just came out on DVD.... and one as I was watching the first episode I was struck by a single line from the show.

Things have been weird and a little painful. I've had a tooth ache for several days, my dentist appointment on Tuesday will hopefully clear it up and fix the rest of my dental issues....

My take on the New Math CD, huh? Well, it is much "gothier" than anything I usually listen to, but I really like it. A lot of it sounds like it should be on a movie soundtrack...of course, Love Under Will was, wasn't it? Oh, Johnny On Top makes me think of People Who Died, and that's a good thing. Oh, duh....I'm looking over the liner notes and it says that was directly influenced by People Who Died. I guess that explains why it sounds that way, huh?
Over all, I'd say it's a good disk, great for certain moods or occasions, thanks very much for including it!

is the work situation any better?
I used to write letters to punk zines like Flipside, MRR and Hitlist reminding readers that it was important to order records directly from bands and small labels. I made sure that I ordered a couple of things each month, often times finding gems and sometimes finding standard stuff. The number of time I got burned? once maybe twice.

i'm not sure if i have mentioned this band to you, but rykarda parasol is a very small band in the south that's just seeming to get a little bit of bearing down there. they're playing sxsw in march, and i loves them immensely.
It's that time of the year when people look back and talk about the best and the top 10 and all of that stuff about pop culture from the past year.... and I dig that, only this year I can't think of 10 movies, 10 book and 10 albums that resonated with me. Sure there was plenty of good stuff, Supersize me, End of the...

OK, the favorites for me were New Math, The Tallboys, Mourning Noise, and the Coffin Shakers. At least as far as the stuff I hadn't heard. I enjoyed the tracks from Riot Squad and The Spooky a lot, but I already love those guys. Everything was great, thanks so much!

Dherp, I'm an idiot, no wonder your name/familiarity with KX rings a bell-you were the other loud voice in my long since dead King's X thread. Heh. Hello again. 
Sooooo I didn't write anything on my little break from work. I spend several days laying around, not sleeping enough, watching TV, eating all kinds of stuff and not really wanting to go back to work. It's not that work is bad, it's that I just didn't want to deal with it for a while longer.

I'm gonna be out of town this week for the holiday. Hope everyone gets to rest up and all that jazz.
If my brain turns on while I'm away, I'll write something for this journal....
By the way HBO's The Wire is sooooo good... and the Office Special was a masterwork of TV.
