Tuesday Toast & Jam 7/26/05

Can I make a confession?

I am close to burnout. and nothing brings me there more than fund drive season. Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm supposed to be excited about fund drive, but folks I am close to being worn out. I've never been that much of a salesman anyway, and now I walk into the studio and there's like ump-teen (it's a Mississippi number...falls somewhere after several, but before a mess) fliers in the studio saying, do this, and say that, and...and...and...

"ARUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

to quote Howard Dean.

I mean, I felt like I was in that Albert Hitchcock movie The Birds where the kids are in the schoolroom looking out at all the birds gathering around the schoolhouse. In case you didn't follow, I was the kid inside the schoolhouse and the fliers were the birds.

Despite doing what all the signs said to do, no funds poured in. Fund drives always seem to bring out the inner panhandlers in each of the programmers at the station, but like I said, I've never been much of a salesman, and my inner panhandler perfers to listen to music than to beg for change. Yeah, my inner panhandler sucks at panhandling, but man does he love music.

So with that, here's what you heard today...

Tuesday Toast & Jam 7/19/05

So we got this new delay machine in the studio, but no one has shown me how to use it. Thus, you got to hear me panic as my still drowsy 6 am mind tried to muddle through why I heard my voice lagging behind real time. Sorry for the technical difficulties folks. We're growing by leaps and bounds at the station, and sometimes those growth spurts are accompanied by growing pains.

Brokedown Logic Set 6/30-7/1/05

As much as I enjoyed doing the Brokedown Logic Set, a fusion of the Loose Logic Set and our Grateful Dead show, Brokedown Palace, it really wore me out. Five hours in the hotseat of any radio station is pretty intense, but the edge is knocked off if you get to play the tunes you like for the people you like. Fortunately the edge is always knocked off as far as I'm concerned.

Unforunately that's all we had time for that night, but we will play some more Wish Found Nation in the future...that you can count on.

Here's a novel idea...

Why don't we let the soldiers decide the policy in Iraq?

If Paul Hackett wins the special election on August 2nd in Ohio's 2nd Congressional District, this might just become a reality.

Paul is a Marine major that recently returned from a 7 month tour in Iraq. His "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington" mentality about lobbyists and special interest groups might just be what the doctor ordered for all this partisan bickering.
