The hits just keep on missing.

What a week! DJ White Wizard and I traveled to Grand Rapids to see They Might Be Giants at The Intersection. Jonathan Coulton opened the show and his set, while very good, was decidedly short. Kinda disappointing. They Might Be Giants was excellent. There was a puppet show, lots of humble-nerd-rock-star self-deprecation, and two encores! The trip was fraught with peril; we battled traffic jams and two instances of a dead car battery. Fear not however, for we were able to make it to Kalamazoo unharmed and victorious. We conquered that dead battery so hard it came back to life!

Speaking of The Intersection, I will be attending several upcoming shows. Helmet is playing on the 5th of October and Devin Townsend will be there on the 9th. DJ White Wizard will be joining me for the Devin Townsend concert. Exciting musical times after a musical drought all year.


I would have to concede that tonight's show was not as nerdified as shows in the past if you wanted to highlight the lack of chiptunes and GAPES. I apologize but I think this particular electronic and post-rock centric show was still nerdy in it's own right.

Thanks for tuning in this week. Until next time, Keep It Geeky!

Haloween comes but once a year.

Hey this Tuesday the 27th of October we at The LANParty will be doing our rocking Halloween show. Of course since we are a show for the people by the people aka sponsored by all yall well we take suggestions, and you know this to be true if you've ever called in. Unlike corporate radio stations we don't have a set play list, we adjust it constantly to please you, and Halloween is no exception, we are looking for your input. You can call the night of 269-387-6303 or you can respond here and post your requests early giving us more time to find them and screen them for words that make the FCC blush.

As an example of what we are looking for here is a song from one of our LANParty Staples.


What's this you really dig Jonathan Coulton, would you like to listen to Jonathan on your nondenominational mp3 player? Well you are in luck, Jonathan likes to share.

Some songs cost a buck a piece which I feel is more than fair, but I know not all of us have a buck on hand well then just look for this
