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! Stream the show: Download the MP3 and access the Archive.org page HERE. Until next time, keep it geeky! - Jackie

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. Stream the show: Acess the archive.org page for info and MP3 downloads: HERE.

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. Stream the show: Access the download link at the archive.org page: HERE Until next week, keep it ghastly. - Jackie

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: Stream the show: Download the track from the archive.org page HERE. - Jackie

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! Stream the show: Download the show HERE. Keep it geeky! - Jackie

R U ready for October???

What a week. It has gotten considerably colder and the leaves are a-fallin'. Be aware that enthusiastic people erecting their thanksgiving and christmas decorations will be shot on sight. Speaking of ghastly topics, this week marks the 15th chapter of Dracula. Stream the show and browse the Archive.org page HERE. Until next week, don't slip on wet leaves. - Jackie.

Dracula Death Grips

What a week! Death from Dracula and tracks from Death Grips. I can already tell that the Halloween show will be a bloodlust-fueled fracas. This week marks Chapter 14 of the Dracula Audiobook if you're keeping track. New music from the Death Grips album No Love Deep Web as well as tracks like an old school Ennio Morricone selection. Hope you enjoy the show. Stream and download HERE. Until next week, keep it geeky. - Jackie.

Lucky 13!

Fall is in the air. The leaves are changing and one can embark on sightseeing tours of all the various colors of campus vomit. This week marks the 13th chapter of the Dracula Audiobook.

Getcha damn hoodies out!

Today was probably the first real good hoodie-wearin' day we've had since spring. Hope you celebrated accordingly. While we're on the subject of the cold, this episode marks the 12th installment of the bone-chilling Dracula audiobook. Then there was much metal and bass. Good show. Access Archive.org and stream HERE. Download it HERE. Until next week, keep it geeky. - Jackie.

Welcome back, studentz!

The Campus is burning

With the riots on WMU's campus and the Republican National Convention happening on the same week, I was forced to bring some unusual music to your ears. After Chapter 10 of Dracula, I proceeded to bust out some real gems. Enjoy.

Tune in for it, if you're not dead from alcohol poisoning that is. - Jackie.

Back to the self-pleasure

With The Imp's departure and DJ Gun Rack's return to South America, I am yet again alone. Until I can secure another co-host, expect some more solo action for the foreseeable future. This week marks chapter 9 of Dracula. Stream the show: Download it here. Go to the archive.org page here. Until we meet again next week, keep it geeky. Jackie signing out!

Good news vs. bad news

Well, theres good news and bad news. The bad news is that The Imp has disappeared. His whereabouts are currently unknown. The good news is that I was able to secure an appearance from DJ Gun Rack. Next week will we will not be so fortunate. I will have to do more solo shows. Sigh.
