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.

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.

We've got a pathway to the stars

This week has been hectic. Several papers due, a research proposal to submit, and large reading assignments. Who knew your last semester of your senior year would be so damn crazy?

Never fear, constant listener. I found the time to throw together a decent playlist for the show. I featured a local band of interest, Osaka Love Hotel. This is a former project of the dapper dude currently involved with the music of [Sparrow]. Click the links for free music!

OH GAWD, THE HOMEWORK!!!!

I'm a week into classes and I've already turned in three writing assignments. Kill me now. Please. Please? I'm predicting lots of sleep deprivation occurring as the semester trundles on.

In other news, Wikipedia has shut down in protest over SOPA/PIPA. Thats a laudable move in the face of other sites backing out on their promise to do the same. LEARN MORE HERE.

Well the show was great this week. I had a good time dickin' around in the studio and diggin' through old CDs in the collection. Mos Def was our G.A.P.E.S. selection of the night.

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.

Hot chips

In case you hadn't noticed, its pretty hot outside this week. Your humble DJ recommends hydration, shade, and an internet connection to stream/download/enjoy this latest podcast.


This week's show marks the 21st episode of the Hitchhiker's guide series. Only five more to go before it concludes. The music selection this week was solid. Enjoy.

Introducing Jackie Treehorn to the show.

Well, Gun Rack will be leaving the state in a matter of hours.

Since the show will no doubt change in his absence I chose a new name in addition to changing versions to mark to the next iteration of this radio show.

Without further ado, it is time to introduce The LAN Party 3.0 with your host, Jackie Treehorn.


Tonight's show was a bit of a surprise, even to myself. It came together rather nicely.

Solo show!

Happy June firsteenth!
Maybe now that June is here, it won't rain so fucking much. Dobutful.

This podcast marks the 16th episode of Hitchhiker's Guide and in addition it was a solo show with only Harvey manning the mics. The studio gets a bit creepy this late at night with no one around. DJ Gun Rack is off exploring housing possibilities in a certain southern state called Georgia. I'll let him elaborate upon whence he returns.

Solo show complete.

It sure is quiet in the studio without Gun Rack to scream soft words of encouragement at me whilst I run the board.
Many thanks to Jon in Ann Arbor for the calls. The caliber of requests is impressive, sir.


I'll keep this short; I have been suffering sleep deprivation all week. The pillow is calling my name.

Studio Echoes

Good 'ol DJ Gun Rack is down in South Carolina experimenting with new gun rack designs and accessorizing his duelly with some chrome and stack pipes. He may make it back in time to do the show but lets not count on it. Slow and stylish is his usual traveling velocity.

What this means is that Harvey will be in the studio all by his lonesome. A horrible tendency to procrastinate coupled with a not inconsiderable workload from school this semester will most likely lead to some great on-air gaffs. Remember that the request line can be used for threats, too.
Keep it tuned to WIDR and listen in tonight at midnight to hear what explodes, malfunctions, or acts furtive when asked piercing questions.
