First and last.
Sharper listeners have noticed that there has not been a regular LAN Party broadcast the past several weeks. As I explained on tonight's show, my real-life job will be occupying my time for the next several months. I will probably be returning sometime around April, perhaps on a different timeslot. I will advise when I know further.
Until then, enjoy the first episode of 2013! DJ Gun Rack was present to mark the occasion!

December in a blender
According to leading internet experts, we are in the month of our final demise. Will the world actually end? WHO KNOWS. But I do know this podcast probably isn't improving our odds of survival.
This week marks Chapter 22 of Dracula. If the world does end, we won't be able to get through the entire book. And that would be sad.

One for the recordbooks
Another one in the bag. This show marks Chapter 21 of Dracula, which means we are nearing the end of the book. I am taking suggestions for the next audiobook if anyone cares to contribute an idea. Today's show featured several cover songs, albeit with no pre-planning on my part. Thats OK, we like those kind of happy accidents.

Impromptu sub show!
A fellow WIDR DJ was not able to make his show, Arctic Paradise, tonight so I jumped on the chance to fill in and have some fun. The show normally centers on jazz and the ilk so I tried to base my playlist around that theme. I believe I largely succeeded, but as always, YOU DECIDE. Hope you enjoy.

Retail respite.
Some of you will be off visiting loved ones and ingesting bird meat. Others will be awash in the glow of computer monitors gathering bitcoins. Either way, make sure to opress those around you with this podcast.
As always, if you're in a mood for a break from the retail shitstorm that is Thanksgiving weekend, tune in to WIDR FM!

turkey holocaust november podcast
How ya feeling, listeners? Its a bit nippy outside so hopefully you have some sort of warm-blooded creature with which you can snuggle and listen to this podcast. Lots of new music this week. Hope you liked it, cuz theres more on the way. This week also marks the 19th installment of the Dracula Audiobook. We are more than halfway through it now, which is a reason to celebrate for those of you who are bored with it. Be that as it may, I would still urge you to give it a chance, as it is quite a landmark piece of literature (to say nothing of all the cool things it inspired).

Election coverage
Well hello, WIDR Listeners!
News sources are reporting that we are keeping the current president. This means that contenders like Roseanne Barr and lesser known politicos like some guy named Romney will fade back into the night like the feral cats they are. The LAN Party is here to bring you soothing music to act as a salve on your hanging chads. Enjoy.

Halloween is a portent of things to come in 2012
Ahh, the halloween show. A classic LAN Party tradition. The only holiday for which I can muster up any semblance of enthusiasm. I tried keeping the death metal to a minimum, since past halloween shows have been used as an excuse to spew that sort of deranged filth into your speakers. Instead I stuck to the horror-theme scary titles and so forth. It actually ended up being a decent blend of tracks.

Prelude to a scary show
This week had some hits and misses. The Flying Lotus track was a hit. The Local H track was a hard miss. I guess curiosity did kill this cat after all. We hit chapter 17 of Dracula.
Next week will be our annual Halloween show, which is special in that it actually falls on Halloween day this year. What a cause celebre! I have lots of tracks already lined up. Should I skip the Dracula chapter or not? It is certainly appropriate, but will also take away from the time I can play some spooky ass tracks.
ANYWAY:

Combating bad music
I will begin by apologizing for the ridiculous track at the beginning of the show. I had a momentary relapse into kindness and consideration. I promise to no longer be kind and considerate, for it is obvious that terrible music is the payment for good behavior. After that abortion of a song, we launched into chapter 16 of Dracula. This means we are more than halfway through the book! I know some of you are rejoicing at that, but I still think the tale is meritorious and deserving of your ear-holes. The new Pinback song certainly is deserving of a listen!
