Keep Your Ears Peeled ... If That's Physically Possible

Anyway, I have some exciting news. I ... will ... be ... having ... a ... special ... SHOW! 3 hours on the air in a little over a month! And what's more is that it'll be on my birthday! HUZZAH! A special 3 hour birthday show! Stay tuned for more info! Allonsy!

Looking Towards the Spring

Well, I hope that everyone reading this has good plans for the next month or so. I know that I do. Home for roughly 3 weeks and Florida for 1 week, not necessarily in that order. Anyway, on to the good news.
I am an officially cleared DJ at WHRW! I don't know when my show will be next semester, but once I get slotted, I'll post it here. Also, I'm planning on expanding on the social networking sites. I might make a Twitter for the show and I have signed up for a BlogTV account in case I want to live-broadcast the show from in the studio. I'll probably set up a Facebook group for the show as soon as I get on my feet at the start of the Spring semester.
Well, happy holidays to all, and to all a good night.

The Final Show (The Holiday Show)

Of the semester, that is. And as an apprentice.
The show went well today. No problems, though I thought I might have a little extra time. Anyway, I also had a little flub. I said that John Lennon's death was December 7th. I meant December 8th. My younger brother said that it was an epic fail. No, Craig, it wasn't an epic fail. An epic fail is having a tow truck crash into your car.

The Playlist:
snippet of Alice's Restaurant (Arlo Guthrie)
Working on a Dream (Bruce Springsteen)
Happy Christmas (John Lennon)
Step Into Christmas (Elton John)
I Believe in Father Christmas (Greg Lake)
Christmas Eve Sarajevo 12/24 (Trans-Siberian Orchestra)
Chinese Food on Christmas (Brandon Harris Walker)

No Shows

Okay, listeners! Because of the Jazz Marathon this weekend and the Thanksgiving break next weekend, I will be back on the air on December 6th, 2008 at 5 PM Eastern.
So, your mission, if you choose to accept it, will be to tune in then and listen!

11/15/08 *8th Episode* "A Few Requests and 80s Music"

On a wet and rainy day, there's nothing better than listening to some great 80s rock. Over all, a good show. A major American Psycho reference before "Hip to Be Square". Two calls: one from my cousins in New Jersey, requesting What I Like About You; the other was from Elijah about American Psycho.

The Playlist:
Dolly Dagger by Jimi Hendrix (for Mitch Mitchell)
Addicted to Love by Robert Palmer
Maxwell's Silver Hammer by The Beatles (Twitter request from coyotesqrl)
The Brazilian by Genesis (Twitter request from chronic_rift)
What I Like About You by The Romantics (for my family in NJ)
Hip to Be Square by Huey Lewis and the News

11/8/08 *Seventh Show* (Requests and Others)

Today's show went well. Craig called in to hear more Chicago. Otherwise, I didn't get any more calls. Oh, and sorry that 25 or 6 to 4 got cut short.

The Playlist:

Blue Orchid by the White Stripes (for my friend, Mike)
Saturday in the Park by Chicago (for my brother, Craig)
Wake Me Up Before You Go Go by Wham! (for a dorm mate, Constantine)
Career Opportunities by the Clash (for an old school friend, Duncan)
Keep Yourself Alive by Queen (a birthday song for another friend, Angela)
Dimension by Wolfmother (I was in the mood to play some Wolfmother.)
Four Sticks by Led Zeppelin (Going out to Wil Wheaton)
25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago (Another Chicago song for my brother.)

11/1/08 *Sixth Show* (The Pre-Election Day Show)

Today went well, except for one hiccup. I was going to start off with When the Levee Breaks, but I pushed the button for the left turntable instead of the right turntable, causing Gimme Some Money to begin playing. Oh well. Next week's show is going to be requests, so post your requests in the comments! :)

The Playlist:

Gimme Some Money by Spinal Tap (Money is what greases the wheels in DC. And it's what Dick Cheney bathes in.)
When the Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin (Bush's legacy.)
Mrs. Robinson by Simon and Garfunkel (For Sarah Palin, the VPILF.)
I'm Alive by ELO (For John McCain. Don't know how much longer he has.)
Mr. President (Have Pity on the Working Man) by Randy Newman (For the campaigners still working.)
All I Want is You by Barry Louis Polisar (For Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston.)
Ohio by CSNY (In memory of Kent State.)
Fortunate Son by CCR (A great political anthem to close out the show.)

Vote on November 4th!!!!
