One more hotdog down the hallway

What a great week! In addition to the 3rd installment of Dracula, there was some awesome music! You know the deal by now. If you don't, then how did you get here? I applaud you and compliment your good taste. Now sit back and stream a show. Stream the show: Download the MP3: HERE Check the Archive.org page: HERE Until next week, Jackie and The Imp wish you mixed blessings.

Tardy submissions.

It took no less than four different attempts to get last weeks podcast uploaded and posted. Whewww, finally did it. Many much apologies to those of you awaiting this weekly update with baited breath. This week marks Chapter 2 of Bram Stoker's Dracula in audiobook format. You also may notice that The Imp and I are beginning to form that cohesive unit of partnership that allows for the witty repartee (a veritable staple of the LAN Party).

New stuff happening!

Well, its certainly been a busy few weeks. First, my new co-host has officially joined the WIDR staff ranks. Please be receptive to Mr. Indolent Imp, as he is still new and learning where all the right buttons are. Never fear, for he is a quick learner and will be a master of the airwaves posthaste. This podcast marks the start of our latest audiobook series. This time around we are playing Bram Stoker's classic 1897 novel, Dracula. This work is a staple in horror fiction and has spawned myriad other work in entertainment and beyond. The prose is certainly not friendly to the texting generation but anyone with a few brain cells and an understanding of the english language should be fine.

Less horror, more horrible.

Right off the heels of last weeks horror-themed show, here is this weeks horrible show! Errr, horribly great, that is! In honor of House reaching a conclusion, Hugh Laurie was our G.A.P.E.S. selection of the night. Stream the shiz: Download the shiz: HERE Browse the shiz: HERE Who knows what will happen next week.

No signs of life, captain!

As I approached the studio tonight the campus looked pretty dead. None of the lights inside the surrounding buildings were lit. Only streetlights were illuminated. Danger appeared to be lurking in the shadows. It was just another reminder that this campus is no longer "mine." So, on a higher note, I will be doing another t-shirt giveaway next week! Greg Kerr, the owner of Miles To Go Clothing has graciously sent me another shirt so I may bestow a lucky winner with sartorial blessings. The shirt in question is "Masque of Red Death" in size XL. It'd probably be smart to be approximately that size, unless you want to win a prize of questionable utility. There has been some interest on our facebook page, so be ready next week, lest this fashionable item of clothing falls into some other person's grimy hands. Click HERE for a picture of the shirt so you can ogle it. Once again, tune in next week for a chance to win this kickass shirt. Onwards to the showzen!

Graduation is upon me.

Well this is it, folks. I'm graduating in a few days. I will be accredited. I have to cram for two more exams and then I will be done with mah schoolin'. Hard to believe. I'll have to find something else to take up my afternoons. Suggestions? Anyhoo, tonights show was short on talk but tall on the heavy. Or something. Enjoy.

The final countdown!

Whoa. Semester is almost over. I had my last lecture today. Nothin' left but turning in papers and taking two exams. Hard to imagine Sangren Hall being torn down after my departure but its fitting in a way. I'm ready for something new.

Speaking of something new, lots of new music this week. Dig it.

Whoa! I got two calls!

Thanks for the calls tonight! I was glad to know that someone is tuning in, even if one of the calls was a fellow DJ who was concerned that there was an equipment failure.

In a matter of mere days I will be graduating from this esteemed university with a Bachelors in Criminal Justice. I have some avenues of pursuit regarding jobs but nothing on the immediate horizon. I plan on doing this show until I can no longer do it.

I'm looking forward to not having homework over the summer. Plans include job hunting, motorcycle riding, and distracting myself from the mountain of student debt I am wedged underneath. There will definitely be more time to formulate LAN Party playlists!

Heres this weeks show.

Stoner rockers unite!

Just for laughs I crafted tonight's opening to be a pothead's paradise and inadvertently opened the floodgates to WAY more stoner rock throughout the show. Oops. Its probably unfortunate that I don't smoke pot; I wasn't able to receive the full effect of these songs. Oh well. I did appreciate the call(s) of encouragement!

Tuesday night Forte session.

What a great week I've had! I saw Henry Rollins, participated in a group presentation on criminology and also found time to make a heavy playlist for the show! Aren't I just awesome? Alos, there are 32 days left until I graduate. Yes, I am gloating.


Lots of great new stuff out this week; Meshuggah and Mars Volta!!!! I would apologize for making the show an impromptu Forte session but no one complained. Or complimented. Or called at all. Woot?

Spring Breakcore.

Hows spring break going? Having a good time in Cozumel? Must be hard to make request calls when you're in half-delirious state from sunstroke and Corona. Our G.A.P.E.S. selection for the evening were Mos Def and Chevy Chase in case you were too intoxicated to discern that fact.

So after the show ended the WIDR Overnighter played a sone from Esoteric called "Lamented Despondency" that I thought was swell so I included it in the podcast. Enjoy.

Motion from the lotion

This was another one of those weeks where I stumbled into a good setlist by accident. Musta been the fact that it fell on the Leap Year, which is the most exalted day of all time. Or something. What the hell is leap year anyway (besides a reminder to vote)? Heres one answer.


Anyhoo, I got a call from a listener telling me to keep up the good work. I will take that as encouragement to keep on keepin' on. I acknowledge that the show has definitely changed over the years. Any fans of the predominantly videogame/soundtrack format have probably noticed a severe deficiency since I took over the board. No one has called to complain though. I'll take that as acceptance.
Since I'm the primary knob twiddler I will keep on doin' what I do.

How was your VD evening? Was it a grand affair? Here in the studio I lit some candles and got all sexed up with some of the equipment. Don't tell my bosses.

Classes started. Say goodbye to living.

Classes started this week. Jack will be a very busy boy. 4 classes and 108 days separate me from a piece of paper that will perhaps land me a better paying job than the one I have now. Will the education gambit pay off? WHO KNOWS!

This was a pretty solid show. Lots of 8-bit and a track by a band that DJ GunRack simply goddamn hated, so I had to wait until he left the state to play it again. If you missed the show, you'll just have to figure out which track it is.

2012 could be the year for a lot of things to go wrong.

Thats right, folks. 2012 is upon us. Hide yo' kids. Hid yo' wife. Duck and cover.

I kicked off the year with a track from They Might Be Giants to get us all in a cheerful mood. That way we can ignore all the impending mayan-prophesied doom that will rain down from the sky.

But really, 2011 was a pretty swell year. I have some Big Events going on on 2012, so I hope it will also be a swell year. Graduation is a mere 4 months away. Pretty hard to believe. It will also mark the 6th year I've been involved with this show. Damn!

I'm excited to be in the studio for '12 and (maybe) beyond. Thanks for the calls, requests, and all-around support. Thats the kind of thing that keeps me trundling into the studio every week!

Until next week, start dusting off those underground bunkers in the backyard.

Surprise end-of-year reunion show!

I was treated to an unexpected surprise this week: DJ Gunrack returned to Kalamazoo for the holidays! I was able to smuggle him into the studio for the show tonight. Since it was the last show of 2011, we ripped off our own concept from 2010 and played our favorite tracks and artists of the year. The show ended up going a bit past the normal 2-hour length but we took that liberty since no one has a show after the show's timeslot and the overnight computer can get a bit repetitive if you've ever listened to it more than, well, once.

Hard to believe we've come to the end of another year. Gunrack has moved away and I'm hoping to follow in his footsteps and escape Kalamazoo sooner than later. I graduate in the spring and the future is uncertain after that point. Will I find a job? Will I get fired from WIDR for smuggling Gunrack into the studio? Will the world actually end in 2012? Tune in next year to find out!
